bigquotesI am super stoked to join the Radon Factory Team. From the first test ride, the Radon Swoop 200 felt great. This bike, combined with the professional support of the team, made this an easy choice. This set up will take me to the next level in my career and will help me achieve my goals in World Cup DH. There should be no compromises and I am confident this is where Radon can and will take me. - Johannes Fischbachh

The video:
"LICENSE TO BRAAAAP" introduces Radon’s new Agent 88, as he tests his newest secret weapon, the Radon DH Swoop 200, against the Evil Cartel of Bike Companies who are determined to charge €10,000 euros for their new DH bikes. Can Fischi and Radon save mankind from PhD Evil’s greedy plot? Should race-ready bikes really cost that much?

 In seinem bisherigen Team, wo er sehr lang war gabs 2015 Probleme.
Zum ersten Rennen war das Rad boch nicht wirklich fertig und sie waren im Endeffekt mit dem Downhill Prototyp einen Schritt hinten und mussten am Ende sogar Bike von einer anderen Firma kaufen, damit er seine Saison "normal" beenden kann.
