Bergamont Contrail Pro review

Apr 2020 · Tom Marvin

A tweaked spec would let you make the most out of the sorted frame and supple suspension

Highs
  • Simple yet utterly effective rear suspension

  • Some lovely frame finishes including the neat stash tool

Lows
  • The long stem tarnishes potentially fun handling, while the Forekaster tyres only work well in selected environments
