Megatest: “Very Good” for the UNIVEGA Alpina SL 5

The UNIVEGA Alpina SL has been put through its paces in the “aktiv Radfahren” megatest, and has impressed both in terms of price and performance. “The Alpina SL-5 is incredibly fun to ride,” writes the editor of this German cycling magazine, emphasising the agility as well as the responsiveness of this cyclo-cross bike. He also notes that the brakes were ideal for narrow, twisty routes, with different sections ridden at a great variety of speeds. The verdict “Very Good” is based on the following test summary:

“A relatively affordable, well-equipped full-suspension touring bike. A joy to ride all day long.”

Out of a total of 10 bikes tested in the mountain bikes category, 8 were rated “Very Good”. See issue 1/-2/2012 of aktiv Radfahren for the complete test.
