Modernised, but still unmistakable: the colours black and yellow have now become the trademark of the Swiss company's top models. The weight of the "Addict" will continue to be a problem for the competition in 2009, but with excellent riding stability and convincing bottom bracket stiffness, the frame still offers sufficient reserves even for heavy riders. In terms of riding position and handling, the "Addict" is clearly recognisable as a sports bike, making more experienced riders feel all the more comfortable. Sporty toughness but also in terms of comfort: both the frame and fork are very hard. Small details such as the mismatched frame and fork decorations spoil the otherwise good impression of quality.
PLUS: very light
MINUSFrame and fork with little comfort
