Expirience with the Radon SWOOP AL 9.0

Radon SWOOP AL 9.0 Review If you want to let it rip in the bike park from time to time, you should scroll down and check the specs, because that's exactly what the SWOOP AL 9.0 was made for. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Radon, at 14,7 kg. Thus, the Radon SWOOP AL 9.0 is one of the lighter Enduro that you get for 3799 Euro . No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the SWOOP AL 9.0, the 64,8 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The relatively high front allows you to sit upright in the saddle. All in all, in the on moderate runs category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. Radon gives 6 years warranty on the bike.
