Anyone with a Rockrider 8.0?

whitestar1

Hi new to MTB and just brought my first bike a rockrider 8.0 I have a Decathlon super store nearby and spent hours with the staff before committing. The problem for me was I couldn't find a review for this bike. Since the store is almost next door I decided on the purchase for the after sale support. I have seen a very good review on the RR 8.1 on bikeradar but nothing on the 8.0

What I am curious about is the saddle. Can anyone offer a good saddle suggestion for under £50?

The 8.0 is a new model, the old name was the 5XC which you will find more data on.
Its a very good bike, sharing the same frame as the 8.1 and the same brakes.The rest of the parts come off the 5.3.
I'm guessing you got it from Wednesbury? If so the cycles manager their is very good and I've known and worked with him for about 3 years now.

Thats very interesting. Yes it was from Wednesbury. I had no idea that it was "related" to the RR5.3. Not disappointed, I really love the bike. Its light, fast and looks good too. So I am thinking of bulletproof tires (if there are such a thing) a new seat (the current one just isn't cool looking). Suggestions?
