Where it stands
Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.
Our pick · €2,000 – €2,500
- Radon SKEEN TRAIL 10.0 at Bike-Discount€2,499GX Eagle instead of SLX, decent aluminium rather than basic aluminium wheels, carbon rather than aluminium frame.
