Expirience with the Rock Machine Torrent 70-29

Rock Machine Torrent 70-29 Review Even in this price range Rock Machine manages to put a hardtail with independent design on the wheels. The Torrent 70-29 has a clear design language. With its geometry, the Rock Machine is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 1500 Euro that would suit you better.
