Expirience with the Rock Machine Torrent 60-29

Ludwig Döhl Even in this price range Rock Machine manages to put a hardtail with independent design on the wheels. The Torrent 60-29 has a clear design language. With its balanced handling, riding the Rock Machine Torrent 60-29 feels really intuitive. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Downcountry-Bike von Rock Machine, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 1500 Euro that would suit you better.
