Expirience with the Rose COUNT SOLO 1

Ludwig Döhl The COUNT SOLO 1 can also be described as a gateway drug, because the aluminum hardtail has already addicted thousands of people to cycling. With its balanced handling, riding the Rose Racebike feels really intuitive. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the COUNT SOLO 1, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. A shout out to Rose – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the COUNT SOLO 1 for in light terrain a benchmark in the price range under 800 Euro. With 6 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
