Expirience with the Radon SWOOP 9.0

Ludwig Döhl Because the Swoop in the aluminum version was one of the most popular enduro and bike park bikes, Radon has the bike 2022 for the first time also issued in a carbon version. Like all Radon bikes, the new SWOOP 9.0 also comes with a distinctive look. The rear end remains made of aluminum. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Radon Enduro. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Radon SWOOP 9.0, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. 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 promise of 6 years ensures trust.
