Hi there,
looking at my first proper mountain bike, been looking around for a while now and keep coming back to the B'twin Rockrider 560 or 540.
Specs looks good compared to others in the price bracket.
Has anyone had any experience with these bikes, what are they like?
Are they worth it?
Or should I look elsewhere? If so recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Definitely worth the extra for the 560. You won't find better for the price.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

The 560 is effectively the old 8.1 which you will find much recommended on here, the name changed around the start of the rear, but in terms of the actual physical bike its just an MY change.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
