Wolfram Kurschat congratulated him on the successful bike after the test lap, Markus Kaufmann voluntarily did an extra lap. What are the pros so keen on? It's the combination of just 9.15 kilos, a sporty riding position, stiffness (two thru axles!) and the sublime feeling that every watt is converted into propulsion via the pedals to the tyres. The light wheels (3542 g) roll away from any 26er with just a few pedalling strokes - at least subjectively. No matter, the very agile handling minimises the difference. Apart from the rare creaking noises, the slim Procraft seatpost noticeably absorbs shocks. The new DT fork does this to an even greater extent: sensitive in its response and not as soft as the previous version, it shortens the gap to Fox and Rock Shox.
Conclusion: light, stiff, fast: completely styled, thoroughbred racing file with World Cup team behind it.
