rose bikes

adamwood92

wanting an all mountain bike, my budget is around £2000. been looking around at various bikes, trek remedy, lapierre zesty etc.
looked on the rose website after seeing an advert in mbuk and their bikes have great spec for the money. been looking at a rose granite chief but cant find any reviews anywhere, just wondering if anyone knew anything about them and what they would recommend in regards to the best all mountain bike for 2 grand!

cheers!!

Few months ago we were up at Stainburn and met a "guy" from a well know mag he was testing a Chief and all he said was "it had a high front end"

Great looking bike in the flesh and as you say a really good spec.

Have you looked at Canyon?

yeh had a look on their website, and saw the canyon strive looks very good, might read into them a bit more, because they have great spec for the money!
thanks mate

Adam, I'd suggest a keyboard with a working shift key first......

As for the Rose, not sure I've read a review, but most reviews of Euro bikes don't like the suspension which tends to be spiky on small hits and then blow through the travel too fast on larger ones leaving nothing in reserve - set up for the terrain they ride not what we get here.
