Expirience with the Rock Machine Torrent 30-29

Rock Machine Torrent 30-29 Review Even in this price range Rock Machine manages to put a hardtail with independent design on the wheels. The Torrent 30-29 has a clear design language. When it comes down to handling, Rock Machine does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Downcountry-Bike von Rock Machine is ready for the majority of singletrails. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on long tours in light terrain should be considered pleasant. There are Downcountry-Bike in the price under 1500 Euro that have more potential downhill. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the Rock Machine a real mountain goat in the Downcountry-Bikes.
