8 reasons not to buy
- Experts say the bike lacks agility in tight turns, citing the long wheelbase.
- At 30.64lb (Pro) and 32.4lb (standard) without any accessories, the Radar X is heavy.
- Experts find the Radar X sluggish on climbs and slow to accelerate.
- The stock handlebars (46 to 50cm) are very wide.
- With a 38t chainring and 11-42t cassette, both builds lack high gears, and a tester laments the big jumps between gears on the Radar X's Apex drivetrain.
- A tester says the WTB Nineline TCS tires offer poor grip in muddy conditions.
- A 6’1” tester complains that the size 54 (L), with its long 610mm top tube, is too big despite being taller than the 5'10" to 6' stated height range.
- One expert says the SRAM hoods (Radar X) are too small, making the grip feel less secure on rough descents.
Bottom line
Breezer Radar X is a steel adventure bike with 29" wheels. The two builds offer buyers the choice of SRAM Apex 1 and TRP hybrid hydraulic brakes or Shimano GRX and hydraulic brakes (Pro). Mounting options abound, and the comfortable ride impresses. Reviewers also praise the confident handling on rough off-road terrain, but the bike struggles in tight sections and climbs and accelerates slowly. Other complaints include overly wide bars, unusual frame sizing, and a lack of high gearing. Despite this, experts consider the Radar X a solid option for adventure rides and bikepacking, though it's not a great touring bike, despite Breezer's claims.Expert Reviews
