Berria Belador Allroad Long-Term Review: 26mm Active Suspension, Curved Seat Tube & More

berria belador allroad review

“Berria Bikes was born in 2012, the brainchild of brothers José and David Vitoria. José – the elder brother – embodies the passion and spirit of cyclists the world over. A fan, professional cyclist, and connoisseur of cycling culture, he spent his childhood wide-eyed and hungry to learn about its rich history, obsessed with how bikes work as performance machines.” – https://berriabikes.com

“David, meanwhile, made it to the very top of the sport, racing on the road for Phonak, BMC Racing, Rock Racing and Footon-Servetto, as well as representing Switzerland, the country of his birth. His ability to push a bike to its limit in the crucible of pro racing uncovered a deep understanding of where the boundaries of human performance exist – of where we can be better.”
