Does anybody know the changes made in the 2012 model of the Rockrider 8.1 over the 2011 model yet? All i know is that there is a colour change and it is due for release in July. Id like to know if its worth waiting for or just to go ahead and buy the 2011 model.

    Hopefully they will change as they are bad (can't remeber off hand what I saw)

    Someone posted a link to the pdf of the new cat on here somewhere that listed scepcs and pic of all their new bike - can't find it again though...

    I cant get the translator to work correctly though :(

    Specs look very similar to me though

    This 2012 spec looks identical to 2011 we have here in uk except colours and frame weight (1850 against 1900)

    Different saddle and Michelin Country trail tyres instead of Decathlon's own as far as I can tell. Everything else apart from the colour scheme appears the same.

    Really? Every review and almost every opinion I've read has rated it very highly. Are you sure you're not getting confused with the 5.1 or something?

    The guy was asking about the colour scheme.
