Dear Reader, Never before have we been as early as the 2013 range. This autumn are we able to offer you the most important models – which is quite vital, as we have run out of everything. All innovations have been brought forward and we have decided not to wait until the Eurobike trade show 2012 to present our innovations, but to start supplying immediately. So many new things in September: Slide 150 has replaced Slide140, the 29s” have been completely overhauled and our masterpiece Black Sin rolls in 2013 in 26 and 29 inch. Slide 125 replaces the very reliable Stage (male version) and Lady Slide. Roadbike Spire has become lighter, has a little brother – Sage Carbon and a bigger sister, the Vaillant series. The trekking fleet has had a breath of fresh air, the Crosser, Scart and Skill new features. Kids will be happy, Bodo Probst hast been conjuring bikes out of hats.. All in all, the best RADON generation of all times. All new ideas revolving around the motto of our new building-project that will be opening in spring 2013. A bikers’ experience park with over 20,000 sq. metres in Bonn will go beyond the scope of anything that was there before. Bike park, Test Centre, Mega store and much more will be waiting for you. Your Ralf Heisig and Christopher Stahl The H and the S from H&S Bike Discount

Fassbrause On the pulse of time This favourite thirst-quencher for bikers; especially when perfectly cooled. This traditional German brewery ‘Gaffel’ has given new drive to its fashionable beverage to keep its fingers on the pulse of the time. Freshly tart and with no preservatives or flavour enhancers added. (Literally “keg brew”, a non-alcoholic German drink made from fruit, spices and malt extract and stored in a keg. It’s nearly the same colour as some beers).
Film tip „Line of sight“ Lucas Brunelle followed illegal bike courier races with his camera all over the world: 10 years long! This action-packed film was first shown on 1st July at the bicycle festival in New York. The trailer and DVD is available on: https://www. lucasbrunelle.com

RADON Navigator The planning app for bike tours for iPhones and android mobiles. In alliance with Alpstein Tourism, RADON has developed map material for complete bike tours.

You will find the RADON App for your iPhone in the App Store. For Androids in Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store) search word: ’RADONNav’
‘VORSPRUNG DURCH TECHNIK?’ This also applies to RADON The RADON Slide AM 9.0 sat enthroned on an Audi Q7 during the ‘Auto Mobil International’ in Leipzig, Germany. Audi presented its new mountain bike luggage rack, which looked really attractive under the Slide AM. Now dad can enjoy his speedy runs and flowing downhill experience… even in the family on holiday.
HIP LOK BIKE LOK Where to keep the lock? Simply around your hips, then the Hip Lok with chain links made of steel (1.8kg) can be worn like a belt. The protection is washable. The test to try to saw through the Hip Lok or even to use a bolt clipper proved unsuccessful. Conclusion: lots of security against bike theft. Available at www.bike-discount.com

Well, you usually want the chocolate and not the wrappings!
There are so many reasons to buy a RADON bike! For the one it’s the excellent test results in specialist magazines, for the others it’s the continual development of the brand. Others are filled with enthusiasm due to recommendations from friends and acquaintances, and others are interested in the exceptional cost effectiveness in connection to the daring designs and its own original image. Over 90% of the ‘Bike’ and ‘tour’ magazine readers confirm that in the annual

readers-questionnaires, RADON has the best price-quality-ratio. But how can this be continually held? Firstly, RADON has a huge competitive advantage: When buying a bike, the trade margin for the ultimate consumers is omitted. This gives you, as a rule, a financial advantage of 30%. RADON as its own brand from H&S Bike Discount is not only sold online (www.bikediscount.com) but also in the RADON Centre in Bonn, Germany and also through an excellent network of service partners throughout the whole of Europe.
ferent! RADON bikes are always up to date in relation to technology due to the outsourcing of profits into technical development. The bikes, from MTB up to trekking bikes, are always state of the art technology. Because of clever cross-marketing and product placement on RADONbike and bike-Discount’s web sites, an optimal promotional effect is achieved (www.RADON-bike.de and www.BikeDiscount.de). Additionally, the houseown magazine ‘Oversized’ supports this effect. From production process, up to development, design, equipment and
planning are ‘polished up’ in-house. The new bike constructions are tested with our very own racing teams. Because of this, speedy feedbacks flow quickly into production.
The greatest weight is put onto the spirit of the brand. We have a small team of enthusiasts. We love RADON; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That is our key to success; only the best for our friends.

Light. Purist. Low-maintenance. Here is suspension only at the front. The suspension fork in combination with the frame gives you cycling comfort. Hardtails are extremely solid, offer a matured technology and in the lower price segment still the best buy, as they offer the best compromise on weight, function and durability. Prices range from €599 for beginners up to €5,000 for high-tech carbon bolide for racing pros. There is only one decision the buyer has to make: 26” or 29”size of wheel!

The frames have a short stand-over height for a secure riding experience and shine with its high-quality features. Inspired from sport model Anne Jensen, ZR Lady is an eye-catcher as well as a technical treat. The sporty lady from Munich has laid the importance not only on the look on the bike, but on the geometry as well. Where colours are concerned, 2013 is a courageous year…..

» ZR RACE 29 SERIES The new route. For the 2013 season the ZR Race 29s are the stars of our Hardtail range. Big wheels are clearly on the forward march, and they have even overtaken several 26” bikes in a couple of disciplines at the top of the league. When it comes to riding over obstacles the 29” is superior to smaller bikes and shows its endurance, keeping the once reached high speeds longer. The 29s project a dominant feeling you really notice. In short, the 29” makes life a lot easier than a 26” in the biking world and is leading the way into the future. Again, we have improved our 29” bikes and have treated all models starting with 7.0 a butted head tube, a Shimano PressFit bottom bracket and a quick release axle with 12mm diameter on the rear wheel, to make the performance even better.

The frame, with its approximate weight of 1000g is uncompromisingly geared to propulsion. That’s why we have treated it to a couple of technical features such as PressFit bottom bracket, post mount wheel lock and a tapered head tube. These perfect features steer their part for a complete package and, last but not least, the Black Sin Series looks sexy and it’s definitely worth the indulgence. This bike starts at € 1,599 with Fox Fork, SRAM X9 equipment and Mavic Crossride.

MTB . FULLY In comparison to a hardtail, the chainstays is also spring suspended. This means in practice, more control and comfort downhill and in optimal cases more grip uphill. The Fully gives bikers all facets of cycling, but also makes the biker ask him, or herself – what kind of biker am I actually? The Fully divides itself into numerous categories. There is something for everybody here; it just depends on which field of use, skill, taste and budget. More choice, depending on what type of grounds you’re cycling on.. light cross country to pure downhill, there are different bikes for all types. With the Fully, everyone has what they are dreaming of; cross-country, racing, marathon champion, touring globetrotters, all mountain rockers, endurofreaks, downhillers‌ everyone gets what they need.

On the one hand it was celebrated as ‘fastest bike of the world’ in a crosscountry Fully test and on the other hand it offers vast reserves in downhill! It also managed a place on the winner’s podium in an elementary All Mountains challenge. From marathons, Alpine cross, tricky trails, the chainstays show what it is capable of 120mm spiral spring, willing to ascend and wonderfully confident when descending. Technically seen, its frame brings everything that marathoners and Alpine crossers desire. The complex hydro-formed tube is light and rigid, and has a butted head tube for steering precision. The kinematic, designed and developed by Bodo Probst, is drive-neutral with reserves for the rough. Quick release axles on the fork and chainstays optimise the wheel-rigidity and ease the assembly and removal of the wheels. Very attractive features round up this comprehensive package. We’re delighted to be able to offer you two models - both with Fox chassis. Model 8.0 with Shimano XT fittings, model 10.0 with SRAM XO fittings. Cycling pleasure included in both models.

» SLIDE 150 SERIES The legend lives on. For the past three years Slide has set standards in the All Mountain field and we have worked long, hard, and exhaustively on its successor; and we have created a masterpiece. The new Slide is here with a totally newly constructed frame. The top tube, due to its curved pipe form, has been lowered; the ample tyre clearance has increased so that the thickest, muddiest, clogged up tyres will fit through! At the front we have built in a RADON Conehead to ensure steeringrigidity increased precision. Quick release axles, front and rear, are compulsory; the standard Rock Shox Reverb has been neatly tucked away. The shock absorber has grown to 150mm at the front and rear. Slide has now more reserves when travelling downhill and invites to playful surfing, but is eager to climb, as always – right to the top. We have also given the new frames new colours. The only thing we haven’t touched on our new creation is the built in pleasure. SLIDE YOUR TRAIL

LADY BIKES
2013 Lady Models Hardtail: Marathon > ZR Lady Fully: Downhill > Stage Diva Trekking: Forest, Firels > Sunset, TCS Fitness/Cross: City > Skill, Scart 40 | Radon Mountain Bikes
The days where women used to ride their men’s old bikes are over. Today, there is so much choice beginning with Hardtail (ladies series), going over to mountain bikes (Stage Diva), trekking and fitness bikes (Sunset, Skill) right up to Enduro and Carbon bikes in small sizes. Having so much choice can sometimes be a problem. We’d like to explain a couple of things so that you’ll have no problem finding your perfect Lady Bike! The most important question when choosing: What kind of biker am I? Power girls, who are already planning a marathon, go for Hardtails or Fullys. Fullys offer in contrast to Hardtail (which has suspension springs at the front) a broader field of use as it has shock absorbers at the front as well as the rear. Therefore there is more comfort, but also a higher need of maintenance. For speedy downhill rides or tours in the mountains, we recommend an AllMountain-Fully. Wider tyres and variability in the shock absorbers allow technically more complex trips and flexibility in difficult terrains. However, the Fullys are heavier. For the daily bike mania in the city, the Fitness or Crossbike is just what you need to speedily cross the road. Crossbikes, like the Scart, is exactly the right product when you ride in forests and on dirt roads now and again.
Form follows function! Lady-bikes up-and-coming
Other important points: Shape follows function! Lady-Bikes have a low crossbar, a shorter sloping top tube and a longer head tube. Because of this you have a straighter back, less pain in the back and arms. The brakes discs are smaller; this is important; less weight = less power. Air suspension forks can set the suspension to your individual weight. Last but not least, women have smaller body proportions. That is why the components should be fitted… to you!
radon-bikes.com | 41
Frameheights How to measure the perfect frame size
The frame size means the length of the seat tube, measured from the middle of the bottom bracket to the end of the seat tube. To get the right height you have to first measure your inside leg. To do this you must stand with your back to a wall and put a spirit level (or a book) between your legs (crotch). Then someone has to measure the distance between the top of the level or book and the floor. Now multiply: a. for a racing bike – your measured length x 0,665 (in cm) b. for a mountain bike – your measu red length x 0,226 ( in inches) c. for a trekking bike – your measured length x 0,64 (in cm) Is the value between two calculated values; choose the higher value for a sportier seat position and the lower value for a comfortable seat position. A second possibility is to calculate over the size of your body. The following table gives you the measurement of the frame size. However, the method of measuring against the wall is more accurate.

» TCS SERIES TCS – the workhorse in our trekking collection and has been our aspirant for best ratings in consumer magazines for six years. ‘Excelled’, ‘Prototype of trekking class’, ‘Masterly performance’ and ‘Unbelievable’. The verdict of the editors, as of our customers, was unanimous. Only few of our competitors offer similar quality and even fewer a comparable price-quality-ratio to a RADON TCS. The 2013 TCS profits from many features of the top model Sunset and is a superb companion for daily routine, the trip to work or a long bike ride. Off we go with the TCS 6.0 starting at a mere €599. With model TCS 70 you can choose between a disk brake and a Magura HS11 hydraulical rim brake. One highlight of the TCS armada is the RADON TCS Rohloff. A gear hub (made in Germany) with14 gears is standard in terms of gear-shifting-comfort, reliability, overall gearing and no maintenance. Combined with the Magura HS33 hydraulical brakes and, planned to the last detail, highest quality addon parts make this bike, TCS Rohloff, the bike for globetrotters as well as connoisseurs.

» SKILL SERIES The 2013 Skill series, consisting of six urban bikes with rigid forks have had a complete update. The three models Skill 7.0, 9.0 and 9.0 Disc are speed bikes with appropriate light moving components, sporty geometry and a straight handlebar for maximal speed, simultaneous control and safety that a classical bike can’t offer. Prices start at €699 for Skill 7.0. Our new 2013 models Skill 4.5, 6.5 and 8.5 are the casually comfortable interpretation of the Skill way of thinking. With a light aluminium rigid fork, lights, mudguards and low-maintenance Shimano speed hub, this is a superb bike for those who want handsome appearance and perfect function in one. Skill 4.5 with Shimano Nexus 7 starts at €599.

» SUNSET SERIES Sunset is the flagship of the RADON Trekking line-ups. Basis with a triple butted Aluminium frame and hydro-formed tubing. It stands out from the crowd of trekking frames, with its weight-optimised welded sealed frame, the internal cables and the RADON octagonalshaped down tube. The reduced size of the inner seat tube, 27,2mm, adds to the possible flexibility of the seat post to increase cycling comfort. The first step in this high-end trekking class, with Sunset 9.0 starts at €999. The highest quality components have already been included. From Shimano XT 30 speed gears, B&M CYO IQ lights with daytime lights and stand light functions to Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tyres; you will find all the component champions here. Model Sunset 10.0, with its entire Shimano XT gear, brake group and top-of-the-line Suntour NCX S Lite air-suspension fork leaves nothing more to be desired. The editors of Trekkingbike and AktivRadfahren had the same opinion: Verdict ‘Excellent’ and ‘Purchase tip’ in both magazines.

ROAD
Race bikes represent Formula 1 Grand Prix for bikers; the lightness of being and the wish for a greater freedom in us, especially when we see pictures of Tour de France or Giro d’Italia. The reality for the most of us is not quite so glamorous, but this doesn’t change anything about the fascination for this sport. Gliding down empty country roads, challenging ascents at Alpine passes, warm summer-rain on the long cycling rounds – this experience is so near, so pure and solely on a racing bike. And it doesn’t matter if you’re on a beginner’s, or the noble carbon model, the fascination is equal.... RADON offers you the whole range – all you have to do is to decide who’s going to accompany you on your fantastic bike tours.

» R1 SERIES Dignified. Functional. Affordable. The R1 is the start in the race bike upper class. A light aluminium chassis with butted head tube and matching RADON double chamber full-carbon fork, sets up the frame in the R1 series. The frame’s enormous rigidity value and the high-rigid fork form a union that builds the basis for very sporty bikes - combined with Shimano 105 equipment and light Mavic Aksium wheel-tyre-system. A sporty bike for a sporty price.

» SAGE SERIES Sexy. Smart. Technical The Sage is the measure of all things with our aluminium race chassis. The designers developed this series with their own motivation of how a racing bike should be: a light but rigid frame with internal cable routing, PressFit bottom bracket standard, conical (tapered) head tube, RADON Conehead, as well as an extremely comfortable Flex Stay chainstays in correspondence with a 27,2mm seat post dimension. This top series is combined with RADON double chamber full-carbon fork, which supports the momentum and convenience of the chassis. The first test results in top racing bike magazines verify our development goals: Sage is remarkably fast, rigid and yet comfortable and sexy. Sage Welt 2013 starts at €1299 complete with Shimano Ultegra equipment. Otherwise for the price of €1999, Citec 3000 is a weapon for racers with complete SRAM Red.

Building decent children’s bikes is easier said than done. The little ones are, basically, a reflection of the big bikes; the same construction and materials – just in miniature. It quickly becomes evident that the manufacturing prices are very close to each other. As the kids of today are our customers of tomorrow, we shall turn a blind eye at the costs and subvention as much as we can. We are very proud of our young wild ones, the girls and boys who cycle RADONs. Price 240 » 260 »

Service partner »
RADON SERVICE PARTNER RADON-Service-Partner Programme has the world’s first project to join specialist shops and distribution for an advantage for all parties concerned. During our many years of working as bike distributor, specialist shops and bike-repair shops contacted us after working with RADON bikes and wanting to expand in this working area. At the same time we heard form the customers’ side that they were having problems with their previous dealers. To still be able to participate in the advantages of the massive savings we were able to give to our customers, we decided to convert our RADON-Service-Partner project from theory into practise and join both groups together. Approximately 100 RADON Serive Partners in Europe Meanwhile, we now have nearly 100 RADON-Service-Partners all over Europe, and are happy to be working for RADON customers. We keep receiving weekly applications from specialised dealers and repairs and so we keep increasing our trade network.
