RAAW Yalla! in The Loam Wolf Review – "Damn fun"Robert “The Loam Wolf” Johnston from the blog of the same name put the Yalla! through its paces in a detailed review, sharing his findings in this article and on YouTube. Though the test had its bumps – on various levels – the Wolf’s final verdict was positive: “Beautifully supportive yet calm under pressure, the RAAW Yalla! is a highly adjustable downhill bike that inspired flat out charging. Though numerous issues were sustained throughout the test with the components, the RAAW frame performed flawlessly and provided the usual no-nonsense RAAW quality and performance that makes these bikes so desirable and pleasant to test.” Check out the full review, including the video, here.
