Expirience with the Rose GROUND CONTROL 4

Ludwig Döhl With the GROUND CONTROL 4 , 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. The moderate 67 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on long tours in light terrain should be considered pleasant. On climbs, other bikes in the under 4500 Euro present a little better performance than the Rose GROUND CONTROL 4. 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. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Rose puts a lot of trust in its products.
