Expirience with the Rockrider 900 S

Ludwig Döhl You are looking for a bike for tours with lots of high meters use? Then look no further and check out the Downcountry-Bike of Rockrider. With 12 kg, the Rockrider Downcountry-Bike counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the 900 S is a very balanced customer. 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. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downcountry-Bike around under 3000 Euro that would suit you better. And finally, we need to emphasize, that Rockrider installed better wheels at a price of 2499 Euro than the competition.
