Expirience with the Raymon Hardray 8.0

Ludwig Döhl The Hardray 8.0l follows a classic approach. 100 mm of travel. 29er wheels. Carbon frame. Done. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on long tours should be considered pleasant. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 11,8 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. With the shifting components, Raymon fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components.
