The great thing about the RFX is that you can ride UP hills in order to hammer downhill. The bike climbs well and it's supple suspension gives good traction on roots allowing steep inclines to be ridden without undue slippage.
The long travel and solid build keeps the tyres tracking over everthing, giving loads of grip allowing tighter lines through corners making 'single track' an absolute joy.
The RFX is smooth and stable at speed and on steep technical rocky and rooty downhills the geometry allows direction changes ruts with complete confidence. The RFX inspires you to look for more challenging descents.
After such praise you would be forgiven for thinking I'm related to the Turners-I'm not.
Great,great bike. | | Overall Rating: |
