Expirience with the Rockrider Race 900S

Ludwig Döhl The Race 900S is one of the fastest full-suspension bikes in the Cross Country World Cup. Outside of the race track, it mainly grabs attention due to its price. With 12,1 kg weight for the complete bike, the Rockrider joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 4500 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Downcountry-Bike von Rockrider. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Downcountry-Bike von Rockrider doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Downcountry-Bike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. The Rockrider has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Rockrider sizing runs small.
