A twelve-speed drivetrain from Sram's X01 series, lightweight carbon wheels from Newmen, Magura's MT8 Pro braking system and a Rockshox Sid Sl Ultimate - for just 4199 euros, the equipment leaves nothing to be desired. Of course, the Radon also benefits from the choice of components in terms of overall weight. The incredible propulsion of the 9.2-kilogram racing machine captivated our test crew from the very first acceleration. If you lock the fork via Twistloc when pedalling, the Radon immediately acknowledges acceleration with propulsion, almost like a racing bike.
Conclusion on the Radon Jealous 10.0:
Max Fuchs, BIKE test editor: The Jealous is a powerful racing machine. Those who avoid technical terrain will benefit from its inspiring lightness. However, the classic development approach no longer fulfils the technical demands of modern race tracks.
