Introducing the 2021 Breezer Radar X

The Breezer Radar X and Radar X Pro are entirely new bikes for 2021. Although they exist as part of the Radar family, the frames specs and geometry are completely different than the rest. Features like thru-axles, boost hub spacing, and more mounting options make it look pretty ideal as a 29″ drop-bar mountain bike. Breezer also confirms that the the Radar X frames have clearance for 29 x 2.5″ tires—an actual tire width measurement of 64.5mm (2.5”)—with about 6mm of space between the tire and the stays. The Radar X features a wealth of mounts, including rack and fender provisions, top tube mounts, loads of bottle mounts, plus additional three-pack mounts on the fork legs and seat stays. Find details and build kits on both the Radar X Pro and Radar below.

Breezer Radar X Pro

The Breezer Radar X Pro is the most expensive build in the Radar series, but at $1,999 USD, that’s saying something. Besides the fantastic Deep Purple paint job, the Radar X Pro features a Shimano GRX 600 1×11 drivetrain, a WTB i25 wheelset, and big WTB Nineline 29 x 2.25″ tires.

As far as geometry, the Radar X and Radar X Pro has a rather long front end when compared to other bikes in this category—its extra-long reach is nearly 3cm longer that that of a similarly sized Salsa Cutthroat. Otherwise, the Radar X maintains relatively short 444mm chain stays and a reasonably slack 69° head tube angle. It looks like it’s suited for fast off-road riding, and could be quite fun on smooth singletrack as well.

While the rest of the Breezer Radar lineup has also been updated for 2021, mainly build kits and paint jobs, we think the Radar X and Radar X Pro are the most interesting. To see the rest of the changes, head over to BreezerBikes.com.
