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. 11,5 kg is great value for the total weight of a Downcountry-Bike. On all kinds of trails, the Rockrider Fully therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. At the seating position, Rockrider combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. On the downhill, however, the Rockrider is left in the dust by its competitors. Rockrider is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Race 900S sizing runs small.
