Rose enduro bike

Facts

The Rose Enduro MTB is available with the Ground Control and Root Miller, such as the Root Miller 3, as fullys, and the Rose Bonero as a hardtail MTB. All 3 models including sub-variants have an extremely resistant aluminum frame which does not show any weakness even in demanding terrain.

• Rose Bonero: It is the cheapest variant as a hardtail but offers just as pure driving fun as the full-suspension mountain bikes from Rose. It is available for purchase as Rose Bonero 1, Rose Bonero 2 as well as Rose Bonero 3.

• Rose Ground Control: Here you get an all-rounder that promises safety and comfort in every situation. The all-mountain vehicle is extremely agile and climbs effortlessly up the mountain. It offers excellent smoothness to enjoy your ride to the fullest.

• Rose Root Miller: The Root Miller, like the Root Miller 1, Root Miller 2 and Root Miller 3, is designed for heavy use. It easily copes with any surface without you having to compromise on performance or handling. The good handling gives the rider full confidence even on technically challenging terrain. It meanders just so through the trails, taking larger roots and other obstacles with ease. With this trail bike no wishes are left unfulfilled.

To have a good clue or comparison you can use the enduro & trail bikes from Santa Cruz as reference bikes. In addition Rose offers cross-country mountain bikes as well as freeride and downhill bikes or dirt bikes.

History

Rose has now been around for more than a hundred years, more precisely since 1907. In the founding years they sold bicycles only in the summer and sewing machines in the winter. In the 1980s they recognized the signs of the times and specialized in mail order. 

Their own mail order catalog was very popular with many bicycle enthusiasts. It had many novelties in its assortment and was also very well positioned in terms of breadth. Bicycles from Canada, such as Red Bull, or even brands from Japan were imported. In addition a variety of components were offered for everyone from beginners to hobby athletes to professionals. At the strongest time the circulation was a proud 600,00 copies, but declined steadily due to the development of Internet shipping. 

This did not affect the success of Rose including their own Rose Bikes. Again in the 90s they recognized very quickly what the future demanded and put the Rose webshop online. At that time sales were still relatively modest at just under 1%, although this now accounts for the lion's share at 80% via online sales.

If you would rather examine the bike in person before buying it a trip to the Rose Biketown in Bocholt is a good idea. There you can admire not only the first Rose bikes but also the somewhat older enduro bikes from Rose: such as the Uncle Jimbo 1, Uncle Jimbo 2 or the Pikes Peak. In addition you will also find all the information on components and models spread over several showrooms. 

Rose also offers advice if you are overwhelmed with the abundance of technical details. The employees measure the customer as desired to knows with which frame size they achieve the optimum performance. If you're lucky the bike with the right frame size is available and you can take it home right away.

Rose offers a solid mix of components for enduro mountain bikes

As always you'll find a rock-solid selection of components on Rose bikes that are up to any challenge. When it comes to the suppliers of the components you will find the usual suspects which are also used by the competition. Well-known manufacturers such as Shimano, SRAM, RockShox, Fox, Maxxis, DT Swiss, Sunringlé, Continental, E*Thirteen or Reverse are used. 

Groupsets / brakes / drive systems

• When it comes to the groupsets they also rely on the top dogs SRAM and Shimano at Rose both of which enjoy a good reputation worldwide. The Shimano Deore, SRAM SX Eagle, SRAM GX Eagle and the Shimano SLX are used. For brakes they count also on the quality of these two market leaders as well as Formula Cura brakes. The new Enduro bikes from Rose are all equipped with disc brakes. The Bosch Performance Line CX motor is a powerful support for the e-bikes.

Shock 

• Depending on the model the suspension fork on the chassis as well as the rear shock has a different suspension travel. This can range from 120 mm travel on the Ground Control to 140 mm on the Root Miller or even 150 mm travel on the Rose Bonero. The RockShox Pike Select Charger, RockShox Deluxe Select+or the Fox Float 36 Factory Series are used.

Saddle / Seatpost

• Selle Italia is the preferred choice for the saddle. With the Rose Edition by Selle Italia they have even set up a collaboration between the two companies. The result was a wonderful saddle that is also used on other types of Rose bikes. For the seatpost the e*thirteen Vario Infinite dropper seatpost is a popular choice that you can adjust between 150 and 180mm without tools and at the touch of a button.

Handlebar & Stem

• For handlebars and stem they rely on the products of Reverse or Level Nine. Among them are the Level Nine Race and Reverse H-Bar handlebars and the Level Nine Race or Reverse Lead stem. The correct tuning of saddle and seatpost as well as the cockpit ensure the best possible seating position of the drivers. It leads to greater efficiency on the trips and provides a secure grip on the bike as well as the necessary comfort.

Wheels / Tires

• The wheels are mostly from Sunringlé or DT Swiss. Among them you'll find the Sunringlé Düroc 35 Comp or the DT Swiss M1900 Spline wheelset. These are either mounted with tires from Maxxis, Kenda or Continental: such as the Maxxis Assegai, Kenda Regolith or also the Continental Trail King II.

Additional equipment

• Since pedals are not included in the scope of delivery of Rose bikes these are best to add to the shopping cart. With a used bike you must always pay attention to the condition of the pedals. These are partly worn out or simply do not correspond to your usual models.

Which Rose Enduro mountain bike gets the best out of you

For cross-country friends Rose offers 3 different models such as the Count Solo, Thrill Hill and Psycho Path. With the Rose Soul Fire DH or Soul Fire 2 you can enjoy your freeride in the bike park as well as downhill rides to the max. Also with the The Bruce dirt bike you will have your joy in the bike park. It virtually lets you fly over the kickers.

If you have decided on speed you will find several models at the road bike section: race bikes for maximum speed and endurance bikes combine speed and endurance. Are you just as happy riding off the road as you are on the asphalt then you're in good hands with a gravel bike. If you still have enough air after work, fitness bikes are the perfect choice. If you prefer motorized support Rose has a range of e-bikes in the assortment such as the Xtra Watt Evo+ comfort or some backroad variants.
