Expirience with the Simplon Rapcon XX1 Eagle AXS

Ludwig Döhl 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. Especially in extremely steep terrain, this combination makes for smooth handling. The seating position of the on demanding trails moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Rapcon doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build All Mountain in the same price range that are more focused on descends. With the shifting components, Simplon fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components.
