However, the weak suspension fork and the too narrow handlebars significantly reduce the off-road capability. The Manitou fork quickly releases a lot of travel and sags through the suspension travel, a safety risk on steeper steps on the descent. In combination with the smaller 27.5-inch wheels, the bike feels choppy on the descents. The SLX rear derailleur lacks a switchable spring tension, so the ride over roots and stones is accompanied by a rattling noise. The frame is well made and the internal cable routing is exemplary. The riding position is upright and the Uproc1 climbs comfortably. Bikers don't have to worry about the front wheel climbing until late on, and there is hardly any loss of traction on the rear wheel. Unfortunately, the gear ratio limits the urge to climb.
Conclusion: Well-balanced tourer with proven Bosch drive and grippy tyres. However, quickly overtaxed on rough terrain.
