The ZEG dealer network's own brand has ambitious plans for 2014. The racing bike range has been fundamentally revised and attractive new equipment packages have been put together. The complete Ultegra groupset with 22 gears makes the Desert Falcon Pro an exception in its price class. Also rare are the Ultegra's direct mount brakes, which require special mounts on the fork crown and behind the bottom bracket and, thanks to their rigid construction and good pads, provide a powerful grip. Another highlight is Schwalbe's new top-of-the-range One tyre, which also came out on top in the latest tyre test (TOUR 1/14->) was convincing. It sticks well and rolls comfortably thanks to its volume, which takes the edge off the stiff aluminium frame. Thanks to its high riding stability and long wheelbase
the bike runs straight as if pulled by a string. The still sporty riding position tends towards comfort geometry.
