Propain Hugene review

Mar 2020 · Tom Marvin

A perky climber that doesn’t shy away on descents and shows exceptional value to boot

Highs
  • Excellent climbing manners coupled with super capable descending prowess

  • Top-drawer kit leaves you checking price again and again

Lows
  • It’s a little prone to poor suspension balance, so needs care when setting up

Propain Hugene Highend Review

Dec 2018 · Christoph Bayer

The Propain Hugene is their first 29" bike and extremely agile, with a brilliant spec at a fair price. But is that enough to make it a top trail bike?

Highs
  • Easy, intuitive handling

  • Good value for money

  • Great spec

Lows
  • Nervous at speed

  • Harsh rear end

  • Knobs on the rear tyre tear off
