The centrepiece is the lovingly crafted frame, which clearly stands out from the crowd. For our trail bike test, Storck rummaged through its modular system with the aim of equipping the Adrenic for challenging terrain. The 2.6 tyres provide comfort on the Rabenberg root trails, but unfortunately do not match the very narrow rims. As a result, they tip over in sporty bends and provide little stability. In addition, the handlebars are 780 millimetres wide and an adapter flattens the steering angle. However, at 70.4 degrees, this still remains the steepest of the test field. In combination with the 27.5-inch wheels, the Storck rides playfully, but also somewhat nervously. The 140-millimetre fork adds comfort to the bike, but at a sporty pace it lacks counter-pressure and harmony with the firm rear end. No dropper post and no quick-release seatpost.
Test summary of the Storck Adrenic Pro
Lightweight mountain bike for tours with plenty of vertical metres. The Adrenic can't quite keep up on demanding trails.
