Following a test on one of their team bikes before Christmas we were keen to get the new Astrix in the magazine and Riding High Uk have just delivered the new 2010 Havoc over to the Dirt offices. It looks set to be a winner at a very good price.
We were impressed with the performance on the early tests. Great angles and sizing it comes in short or long. This the long has a 47″ wheelbase and 63 degree head angle working off a design that has many Lawwill similarities. It includes a linkage. The Astrix has speed that’s for sure and a suspension system that is well balanced, not too progressive as on many bikes heading this way recently.
Nice touches all around including the one bolt rear axle and a competitive price of £1999 for the frame with Vivid damper. Contact RidingHigh UK. And I might wash it when it has been ridden. Just waiting for Ben Baker, Liam Mason and the boys Morgan to do their stuff.
