Expirience with the Simplon Rapcon Deore 12

Simplon Rapcon Deore 12 Review Simplon isn´t known for gravity-orientated bikes, but with the Rapcon the Austrians prove that they have more engineering skills than pure lightweight construction. With the modular principle, you can freely choose components. With a 65 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. At the seating position, Simplon combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. On the downhill, however, the Rapcon is left in the dust by its competitors. The Simplon Rapcon has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices.
