Expirience with the Rose GROUND CONTROL 1

Ludwig Döhl With the GROUND CONTROL 1 , Rose delivers a solid downcountry bike for a reasonable price. If you really want a fully despite a small budget, you should take a closer look at this model. Thanks to a moderate 67 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Rose Downcountry-Bike. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. We like: 6 years warranty on the frame!
