As this is likely to be your first foray into mountain-bike-style gearing, they are simple to use and offer a useful gear number indicator on the twist-grip shifter which might be helpful to some users. Adjusting the SR Suntour Rockrider fork was fairly straightforward as there was only a preload adjustment to play with on top of each leg. Bizarrely the left leg had 12 clicks and the right leg had nine. I’m not sure what that is about but winding the preload adjuster balances the amount force required to make the fork move versus the weight of the rider.
Because the ROCKRIDER AM 100 S with its 66 ° steering angle, the asymmetrical rear triangle and the horizontal shock with state of the art linkage is also in matters of design quite up to date. Feel free to check out the brand new ROCKY MOUNTAIN ‘Instinct’. Do you understand now why I say ROCKRIDER has arrived in the premium sector? One or the other will not like to hear it, but standing shocks are so old school. Also with the ROCKRIDER AM 100 HT Decathlon impressively proves that really all homework has been done.
But what’s even more interesting, it doesn’t really bring worlds over a ‘single-pivot’ either. If multilink rear suspension systems are so incredibly superior, why hasn’t this been standard on enduros and motorcrossers decathlon road bike for decades? Also, the argument with the progression is simply not tenable in times of air shocks. The progression of the characteristic curve can be generated in the damper itself (keyword ‘air suspension fork’).
Spend a bit more money and there is Barracuda Colorado at £280 with twin discs and 24-speed gears. Halfords offers an Apollo Evade in S, M or L with Twin disc brakes at £235 but the forks are not adjustable and the geometry looks even steeper than the Compass or the Rockrider. I read that as it’s designed for leisurely use around local parks, bridleways and forest centres to get you out in the fresh air to experience a little bit of off-road in your neighbourhood.

Under ROCKRIDER ST, various hardtails and full suspension bikes are offered from entry-level to mid-range. In addition, there is an E-MTB line, which is marketed under the name ROCKRIDER E-ST . The same applies to the XC 100, 120 and just at a slightly lower level, since the aluminum versions bring a little more weight. Nevertheless, these versions are also real sports machines and in their price range without competition. So I have found for €900 no XC bike that comes even close to the performance of the ROCKRIDER XC 100. Hand on heart, which of us amateur racers really has sponsors?
You might need to transport or store your bike in a confined space (car trunk, porch, etc.).

Select the size XL / 6’0” – 6’5” before adding this product to your cart.
