Expirience with the Transition Spire Alloy XT

Ludwig Döhl The 170 mm fork travel helps you master the on extremely technical trails. Here, the Spire Alloy XT really plays to it´s strengths. The flat 62,5 degree head tube angle of the Spire Alloy XT gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The seating position of the on very demanding single trails moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. All in all, in the on extremely technical trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry.
