Expirience with the Simplon RAZORBLADE 29 IV, SHIMANO DEORE 12

Ludwig Döhl The RAZORBLADE 29 IV SL is among the lightest hardtails on the market, thanks to its ultra-lightweight frame. The moderate 68,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Looking at only the shifting system of the rest of the bikes you have to say that other manufacturers in the price range under 4500 Eurouse higher quality components. Apart from this criticism, the sporty orientation makes the RAZORBLADE 29 IV SL the best climber in the price range below under 4500 Euro.
