The French Moustache brand has many extravagant models in its portfolio. The Samedi 29 Game 8, on the other hand, seems almost normal with its four-link rear end.
The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. Even steepest climbs the Bosch motor easily climbs up well. The Bosch Performance Line CX provides a very well-rounded riding experience with a progressive power delivery. The well-tuned driving modes hit the mark. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Moustache Samedi 29 Game 8 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (7000) .

Even nasty descents get smoothened by the good Fox chassis. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. With its four pistons and 2 millimeter rotors the Shimano braking system decelerates outstandingly. This allows you to maintain control over your own pace even in the steepest descents. The drivetrain and components have a subordinate but not to be neglected importance when it comes to EMTB. Even the bike brand product managers know this and don't aim too high with mostly average components. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. Even when it gets really steep, the long chainstays will stick the front wheel to the ground. The steep seat angle puts the rider far forward in the bike. This puts pressure on the front, which additionally increases the climbing abilities in technical uphills.

Expirience with the Moustache Samedi 29 Game 8
