Expirience with the Rose SOUL FIRE 3

Ludwig Döhl When YouTube star Lukas Knopf is really stepping on the gas, he's usually sitting on the SOUL FIRE 3 . The enduro will either be sent to your home by post or you can pick it up in one of the Rose flagship stores. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the SOUL FIRE 3 is a very balanced customer. When it comes to the seating position, Rose chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail. The guarantee of 6 years proves that Rose puts a lot of trust in its products.
