The women's model from Rock Machine uses the same frame as the men's Torrent and Manhattan hardtails. But the Catherine 20-29 courts the favor of female buyers with add-on parts specific to women, such as the saddle. With its balanced handling, riding the Rock Machine Hardtail feels really intuitive. In the saddle of the tours with lots of high meters your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Catherine 20-29 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Downcountry-Bike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Catherine 20-29 sizing runs small.
