Rocket in MBUK
The Rocket Gold bike is in the November edition of MBUK Magazine in a group test in which it gets a fantastic write up. Grab a copy if you get the chance, but here's some great quotes....
"...there's no doubt the Rocket is a bike with serious trail presence and gravity swagger"
"You can really feel the difference in the way the steel frame and advanced dampers connect to the trail"
"...twist in the long, skinny mainframe means it finds it's own flow around high cornering load or blunt-impact situations, rather crashing a clattering over the top.....but together with the outstanding damper performance it creates and unshakeably confident ride."
The Rocket was up against a Carbon Stumpjumper, Mondraker Foxy and Orange Five. All 4 bikes priced within £400 of eachother, all four bikes over 31 lbs, and the Rocket wasn't the heaviest! Don't believe the hype when it comes to seeing that swoopy carbon front end on other products. Steel is real!
The latest edition of MBUK is out now.
