The series winner of the last few years could also compete in the price class above 2000 euros. That's how balanced and solid the lightest bike in the field impressed our test riders. On the steep gravel ramp on our test lap, the Nobby Nic literally stuck to the ground thanks to the sensitive but efficient rear suspension. The Nerve was correspondingly plush on the rough downhill trail section: two well-tuned Fox elements are in a class of their own. In addition, the lightly mixed Shimano groupset and an attention to detail and workmanship that is exceptionally good. Tip: Women can escape the black anodised look with the 100 euro more expensive and 300 gram lighter women's version (silver/purple).
Conclusion: the sportiest and best overall package.
