Expirience with the Superior XF 9.7 RC

Ludwig Döhl With the XF 9.7 RC 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. The moderate 68 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Superior sizing runs big.
