With over 90 bikes in the Rose range, you're bound to find something to suit your riding style. We'd like to introduce to you to a few of our bikes and explain how Rose will be covering the UK over the next year.

Read on,When you head over to www.rosebikes.co.uk you'll find a huge selection of products to choose from, a selection that has helped us become one of the largest online retailers in Europe. This range of product allows us to build our bikes in a very special way.


The Bike Configurator in action at London Cycle show last week.

The "Bike Configurator" is used to construct and order your ideal bike online. You can change the forks, wheels, tyres, in fact right down to how many carbon spacers you would like to fine tune your ride. All the frames are hand finished and assembled in the factory in Germany and shipped to your door, within 7 days!

Where do you start when you have a choice of almost any component for your bike? Well, Rose has that sorted with up to 8 builds on each frame at different price points. Below are a few of the highlights for 2011.


The Granite Chief (Starting at £1500)-


With an increase in travel from 140mm to 150mm over last years frame, the Granite Chief has got to be one of the most suitable trail bikes for the UK. When you include the 200grams shaved off of the frame and you can build up a bike equipped with SRAM X.9 components, a Fox 32 150mm Talas fork and RP23 rear shock at a feather weight 13.5kg (around 30lbs), and it will only cost you around £2000!

The Beef Cake (Starting at £1700)-


180mm - 200mm of travel depending on the shock you spec, choose your fork; Domain, Totem, Boxxer, 40 or single crown Fox 180mm and you're ready to go. Katy Curd rode the stock 2010 Rose Beef Cake DH at the World Cups last season and is looking forward to getting her new Beef Cake SL (a 33lb race version). You'll see our Flow team riding these purple frames next year, well, you might but then they'll overtake you!

---

Mr Ride 29" (Starting at £1100)-



If you haven't tried a 29" bike yet then what are you waiting for? With an increased wheel size you'll find that you roll over bumps with ease and climbing becomes a pleasure! The Mr Ride is Rose's first 29" frame and they start at £1100, (around £1400 with pictured spec). We can't wait to get ours out in the mud and go for some epic XC "training" rides!
