Hi I have seen a rockrider 9.1 for sale at around £350 used. Its in good condition and its a 2008 i think (red colour). Are these bikes any good? Are they good quality full susp biles?

    Do you know how much the bike weights> Im a bit worried about getting a FS as I have been told they are very heavy?

    This bike is fantastic value for money, with a Tora forks and an X-Fusion rear shock I'm sure it will suitable for what you want to do. The weight is 13.9KG which is very good for the price.

    Great bike, had one myself. Well specced for the money...

    I did change the rear shock for a RockSHox with lockout as I wanted it to be dual purpose (i.e. road as well).

    Cheers for the advice I have just purchased the bike. I know have a Furry and Rockrider. How do you think the Rockrider 08 compare to the Fury 08 on trails or XC?

    Some people work during the day mate, be patient. Value for money-wise the 9.1 is much better than the Fury.

    And in terms of performance? How would it compare on roads, trails etc?

    Well it is better value for money, that normally means better specification. :roll: The bike will most probably perform very well on the trail but it is upto yourself as a rider to produce a majority of the performance.
