Expirience with the Rose GROUND CONTROL 3

Ludwig Döhl With the GROUND CONTROL 3 , 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. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the GROUND CONTROL 3 is a very balanced customer. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Rose Fully wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. All in all, in the on long tours with lots of trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. With 6 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
