As we all know you can never have enough bikes, therefor I would like to ask you guys if anybody has any experience with the brand Bombtrack and if the bikes are worth buying or not. I am considering buying the AL Apex for my next adventure starting at the end of May in Cologne.
Thank you in advance for your feedback you can also suggest other bikes but they should be available now.

Alloy fork, mechanical brakes, 12kg.
It’s not terrible, but also not worth it for the full price. Or did you find a really good deal?
I have the bombtrack hook ext in steel and its a nice bike 🙂
Comfort is good. Found nothing negativ yet. Dont know my speed, but I am not a slow Driver : P
It’s a nice bike but I think €1400 is a bit high.
The main downsides that stand out to me are:
SRAM Apex: I would expect Rival for that price.
WTB i23 rims: I have these, rear cracked almost immediately and my rig is not very heavy. You have to be careful with them or replace and rebuild the wheel.
Chainring is 36T: that’s too small for my preference. I would replace that.
Upsides:
Absolutely beautiful colour.
Long cage derailleur so you could fit a 11-46 rear cassette.
Loads of mounts
Mechanic group set (personal preference)
25° flare drop handlebars
I wouldn’t be running to get it at €1400 but if you like the bike, you want aluminium, and you’re ok with the downsides then go for it!
I use panniers and a rack. And for my big summer tour I want to buy two top frame bags.
What do you mean with replacements? In case something broke?
