Expirience with the Rock Machine Catherine 60-29

Ludwig Döhl The women's model from Rock Machine uses the same frame as the men's Torrent and Manhattan hardtails. But the Catherine 60-29 courts the favor of female buyers with add-on parts specific to women, such as the saddle. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Rock Machine Hardtail. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Rock Machine Catherine 60-29, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. There are Downcountry-Bike in the price under 1000 Euro that have more potential downhill. With the shifting components, Rock Machine fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Downcountry-Bike von Rock Machine sizing runs small.
