Expirience with the Superior XF 929 RC

Ludwig Döhl With the XF 929 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. With its geometry, the Superior XF 929 RC is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Superior XF 929 RC. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the XF 929 RC doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Racebike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the XF 929 RC a real mountain goat in the Racebikes. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Superior Fully sizing runs big.
