Rockman and Tribal rider Adrian Lengyel, Hungary’s top rider (Adrián Lengyel in Gyöngyös), has received a new bike for 2011. He has been riding the new Slate XL for two weeks now and is getting on very well with it! This high BB bike is the Singapore brand’s flagship model, with a geometry that is approaching that of the Kortz or the famous Koxx Sky. “What can I say, apart from that it is a beautiful bike; the nicest I’ve ever seen or ridden”. His magnificent new build has a number of titanium components (Reset BB, spokes, bolts, sprocket) and wighs in at just 8.3kg. To show how he’s getting on with his new ride, Adrián has sent us this short video, filmed over two days and between his university exams, along with a collection of photos. A full-length video will follow. This ‘teaser’ is already very impressive, and Adrián’s riding is as powerful as it is precise! Enjoy…
