Expirience with the Rose PDQ 2

Ludwig Döhl PDQ is the abbreviation for "Pretty Damn Quick." With the model name, there is no hiding the self-confidence of Rose. The special thing about the PDQ 2 is that it is equipped with 120 mm suspension travel on the fork significantly better than other carbon hardtails. 10,8 kg is great value for the total weight of a Downcountry-Bike. On all kinds of trails, the Rose PDQ 2 therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. With its balanced handling, riding the Rose PDQ 2 feels really intuitive. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range tours with lots of high meters, the Rose is one of the best models in the tours with lots of high meters category. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Rose is behind its products.
