Expirience with the Superior XF 939 TR

Ludwig Döhl Visually, the XF 939 TR is hardly distinguishable from the Racefully of the Czechs. This is because the platform uses the same main frame. However, with 130 mm up front on the fork, an adapted rear triangle and grippier tires, it clearly stands out from its slimmer brother on the trail. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Superior. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Superior Trailbike, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. There are Trailbike in the price under 4500 Euro that have more potential downhill. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Superior installed better wheels at a price of 3299 Euro than the competition.
