Expirience with the Simplon CIREX SL, SHIMANO XTR 12

Ludwig Döhl The CIREX SL stands out from its competitors primarily due to the ability to customize the equipment setup from the factory. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the CIREX SL has a sporty seating position. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 8000 Euro that would suit you better. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 7899 Euro .
