Radon DEFT 8.0 750 Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX Smart System shows. The Bosch motor climbs steep ramps effortlessly. The very natural riding feeling combines the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System with a dynamic power delivery. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Whoever likes to go on long rides will be pleased with the very good range.

A good chassis sits in rugged terrain and generates plenty of traction. That's exactly what the good Fox chassis in the DEFT 8.0 hits. At the brakes, Radon middle class four pistons brakes by Magura are used. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Radon uses average parts. The combination of a slack head tube angle and tendentially long wheelbase makes the DEFT 8.0 remain steady even at higher speeds. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling.
