Expirience with the Rose SOUL FIRE 2

Ludwig Döhl When YouTube star Lukas Knopf is really stepping on the gas, he's usually sitting on the SOUL FIRE 2 . The enduro will either be sent to your home by post or you can pick it up in one of the Rose flagship stores. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Rose Fully suite the taste of most bikers. With the shifting components, Rose fulfills not only the current standard, but even puts the icing on the cake with its extremely high-quality components. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Rose is behind its products.
