The Stage from mail-order company Radon enters the all-mountain stage in a refreshingly green colour. But does it live up to the promise of its lurid packaging? Absolutely. Typically high-quality equipment, low weight and very good handling give it the second-highest score in this test. Although the steering angle is rather steep, the Stage with its wide Syntace cockpit rides rather smoothly and offers its rider a lot of security even in difficult passages. Although the rear suspension is not oversensitive, it makes good use of the available travel and provides plenty of propulsion even without a platform. The Stage is also available in a special women's version for female bikers.
Conclusion: a sporty tourer that is equipped for everything from marathons to demanding tours.
