Expirience with the Rockrider ST 540

Ludwig Döhl As a on sporty excursions, the Rockrider Hardtail ticks all the boxes. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. At the seating position, Rockrider combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the Rockrider ST 540 a real mountain goat in the Racebikes. Pay attention when selecting your size: the ST 540 sizing runs small.
