Expirience with the Rose PDQ 3

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 3 is that it is equipped with 120 mm suspension travel on the fork significantly better than other carbon hardtails. 8,9 kg is great value for the total weight of a Downcountry-Bike. On all kinds of trails, the Rose PDQ 3 therefore rides significantly lighter-footed than its competitors. The moderate 67,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Rose Hardtail. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. The guarantee promise of 6 years ensures trust.
