Expirience with the Superior XC 819

Ludwig Döhl With the XC 819, the Czech manufacturer Superior delivers a stylish mountain bike with a elegant design at a good price. Superior is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. The relatively high front allows you to sit upright in the saddle. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Superior engineers. For 679 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential.
