Expirience with the Superior XP 979

Superior XP 979 Review The Czech brand Superior builds mountain bikes for over 30 years. The XP 979 also follows the sporty character and price-performance orientation for which the Superior has always been known. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Racebike of Superior. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the Superior Hardtail leaves the remaining Racebikes in the dust. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Superior XP 979 sizing runs big.
