The shop's feature list
- Define AL 170 2 2023 | Trail Bike Dies ist das größte Fahrrad in der Define-Reihe. Es ist im Grunde ein Downhill-Bike, das auch bergauf gefahren werden kann. Eine Mischung der Laufradgrößen ist die beste Lösung für ein Bike wie dieses und nach vielen Tests und der Verarbeitung von Meinungen hat NS Bike sich für eine Lösung entschieden, von der sie wirklich glauben, dass sie für viele Fahrer sehr sinnvoll ist. Ein großes, schnell rollendes 29"-Vorderrad pflügt durch unwegsames Gelände, während ein kleineres 27,5"-Rad im Hinterrad versteckt ist und mehr Federweg ermöglicht, ohne den Rahmen oder andere Teile zu berühren. Vergessen wir nicht, dass es sich immer noch um ein Define handelt - was bedeutet, dass es um einen wunderschönen Leichtmetallrahmen mit speziellen hydrogeformten Rohren, versteckter externer Kabelführung, großen Lagern und radikaler Geometrie gebaut ist!
