The broadly supported, massive swingarm bearing almost wraps around the motor and ensures the shortest chainstays of all Bosch bikes. The mix of 27.5-inch (rear) and 29-inch (front) wheels ensures agile handling with good guidance at the front. The equipment: well thought-out and appropriate for the price. With its manoeuvrable geometry, the Moustache rides like a classic MTB and is a lot of fun, especially on single trails. However, this also means: compromises on extreme climbs. The slightly over-damped rear suspension also comes in for some criticism. Nevertheless, the Samedi feels like it offers enormous reserves of suspension travel.
Conclusion: a fun bike for the single trail with a unique look. Unusual, well thought-out solutions with great attention to detail.
