Expirience with the Simplon CIREX SL, SHIMANO XT 12

Ludwig Döhl The CIREX SL stands out from its competitors primarily due to the ability to customize the equipment setup from the factory. Simplon is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the CIREX SL has a sporty seating position. On the downhill, however, the Simplon CIREX SL is left in the dust by its competitors. But the Simplon Fully still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Simplon installed higher-quality wheels.
