Radon Bikes, The Jealous - Video

The Black Sin has demonstrated its qualities over the years at XC World Cup events, Bundesliga races, and marathons. The Radon product development team have also gathered together plenty of constructive feedback both from professional riders and customers.


Radon therefore decided to go beyond upgrading the Black Sin and instead develop a completely new carbon hardtail frame for the uncompromising demands of racing.


As with its predecessor, the dark and sinful side inspired Radon. The designers and team racers went for the top competitive goal – to be better than the others and to create a little envy. The result demonstrates that it is worthwhile to have fun and make people jealous.


Race courses may be more technically demanding than in previous years but developers of rigid frames have taken this into account. Larger and stiffer wheels, longer fork travel, and wider bars and tyres have shifted the limitations on hardtails. But new possibilities also bring new design challenges.


With the Jealous, the engineers have not only met these challenges but also focused on achieving maximum variability and flexibility. During product development, they have never ignored building bikes for end-consumers; Jealous frames are therefore designed also to accommodate electronic as well as mechanical shifting and dropper posts with internally routed remote operation.
