Expirience with the Superior TEAM XF 29 Elite

Ludwig Döhl With the TEAM XF 29 Elite the Czechs of Superior want to discard their pure price / performance image. Because the Racefully comes not only particularly chic. With 110 mm suspension travel on the fork and throughout installed dropperpost, the Racefully oriented throughout the technical demands of modern racing. With its balanced handling, riding the Superior Fully feels really intuitive. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Pay attention when selecting your size: the TEAM XF 29 Elite sizing runs big.
