    Summary

    Expirience with the Radon SKEEN TRAIL AL 8.0

    Radon SKEEN TRAIL AL 8.0 Review Metal must be processed completely differently than carbon. But Radon manages to anchor the unmistakable look of their more expensive carbon bikes in the SKEEN TRAIL AL 8.0. The moderate 67 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. On climbs, other bikes in the under 4500 Euro present a little better performance than the Radon Fully. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 14,35 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. With the shifting components, Radon fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Radon puts a lot of trust in its products.
