Expirience with the Simplon RAZORBLADE 29 III SL, XTR-12

Ludwig Döhl With a weight of less than 900 grams, the Razorblade frame is one of the lightest hardtail frames on the market. In combination with the modular system for the conponents, all possibilities for an individual dream bike are there. With its geometry, the Simplon Razorblade is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Simplon Racebike, you´ll enjoy a moderate position.
