Expirience with the Wilier 503x SHIMANO XT 2.0 1X12

Ludwig Döhl The 503x is more about everyday mobility rather than actual use on hardcore trails. Wilier is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Wilier wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Racebike von Wilier doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Racebike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Wilier installed better wheels at a price of 1600 Euro than the competition.
