With 120mm or 140mm of travel, mid-range geometry numbers, and relatively attainable pricing, these trail bikes don&#8217;t tick off any buzzwords but should offer real-world performance. The all-aluminum SISKIU T8 is like a friendly reminder of bikes from the turn of the century. The head angle is a relaxed 66.5 degrees and the seat angle is a rarely seen, super-relaxed 68.5 degrees.
