Ludwig Döhl You are looking for a bike for on extremely technical trails use? Then look no further and check out the Rocky Mountain Enduro. With a 63,2 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. The upright seating position gives the Enduro of Rocky Mountain a comfortable character. Looking at only the shifting system of the rest of the bikes you have to say that other manufacturers in the price range under 8000 Eurouse higher quality components. With 16 kg, the Enduro of Rocky Mountain tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face. Rocky Mountain gives 5 years warranty on the bike.
