mei 2025 · Lars Engmann, Robin Ulbrich

We tested the Privateer 161 Gen 2 for you – and didn’t just hammer it down the trails of Finale Ligure. Want to know how it performs on the trail?

Hoogtepunten
  • Easy maintenance thanks to the external cable routing and oversized industrial bearings

  • Impressive downhill potential with plenty of reserves

  • Inspires tons of confidence on the trail

Dieptepunten
  • Heavy overall weight

  • Not UDH-compatible

  • Spec doesn’t quite match the bike’s aggressive character

Dieptepunten

  • 180mm travel dropper is underkill

  • Higher rise bars on larger sizes and shorter stems all round would be nice
