Type: Aarios "Expedition" Website Aarios: Aarios AG
I am a really big fan of this Bicycle. It is made with a lot of knowledge and everything is well thought through. I went down paths that couldn't even be considered tracks anymore and the bicycle still runs well. It might be a bit expensive compared to other Bicycle brands, but the price is truly worth it. Also the service and support of the builder is simply great.
