Expirience with the Radon SKEEN TRAIL AL 8.0

Ludwig Döhl 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 handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Trailbike von Radon suite the taste of most bikers. With a total weight of 14,6 kg, the Radon Fully is one of the heavier Trailbike that you get for under under 4500 Euro. But the Radon still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Radon installed higher-quality wheels. With 6 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
