Even the model name Psycho Path suggests a certain schizophrenia in the undertone. While a carbon frame usually appeals to lightweight cross-country racers, the short, steep stem with a wide riser bar is clearly aimed at a downhill-orientated clientele. Despite the long top tube, the heaviest bike (and heaviest frame) in the test doesn't feel stretched and offers very good, smooth control downhill thanks to its upright position. The workmanship of the frame with internally routed cables and the high-quality components are very impressive. For even more safety downhill, grippier tyres would fit well into the overall picture.
+ Very good downhill handling
+ Equipment
+ Processing
- Little sporting position
- High bike/frame weight
ConclusionTwo souls live in the carbon fibre tube of the Psycho Path. More downhill-orientated with a relaxed position and high cockpit.
