- Builder's Choices: The bike comes with three different builders' choices, offering a selection of premium components and design options.
Cons:
- Price: Starting at €4,750 for the frameset alone, the Jaegher FL.X Hurricane 1912 is a significant investment. The cost might be prohibitive for some riders, especially those new to the sport or hobby.
- Wait Time: As a custom, made-to-order bike, there's likely to be a waiting period from when you place your order to when the bike is ready. If you're in a hurry, this might not be the best option.
- Maintenance: While stainless steel is durable, it still requires maintenance to keep it in top condition. This can mean extra time and effort, particularly if you're using the bike on rough trails or in harsh weather conditions.
- Weight: The bike frame weighs 1.4 kg, which is slightly heavier than carbon frames. This might be a disadvantage if you're looking for the lightest possible build.
- Custom Paintwork Durability: While the custom paintwork provides excellent aesthetic options, it may be more prone to chipping or wear than standard finishes, especially when riding in rough conditions.
