Expirience with the Rose SOUL FIRE 1

Ludwig Döhl When YouTube star Lukas Knopf is really stepping on the gas, he's usually sitting on the SOUL FIRE 1 . The enduro will either be sent to your home by post or you can pick it up in one of the Rose flagship stores. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Rose Enduro. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on moderate runs should be considered pleasant. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Rose SOUL FIRE 1 doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Enduro in the same price range that are more focused on descends. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 6 years warranty Rose sets the bar high!
