Rocket S2

This off-road speed rating describes how quickly the bike rolls under pedal power on smoother ground. The setup that matters most here is typical trail-width tires and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. Put together, they influence both acceleration and the effort needed to hold speed. In real riding, it's tuned for reliability and control rather than maximum speed.

Climbing rating: 1.2/10. Within Mountain bikes, it sits near the bottom. The lowest gear is very tall when the road tilts up. Your easiest gear lands around 36.7 gear inches. Most comparable bikes have an easier low gear; this is easier than only about ~3% of them. Gear inches is basically “how easy is the easiest gear”. Lower numbers help you keep your legs spinning on steep bits. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Suspension: 10/10, classed as “Extreme rough-terrain ready”. It’s intended for the roughest use cases, where suspension control is critical. Suspension at both ends helps keep wheel tracking steadier when the surface gets rough. It’s built to stay stable through repeated big impacts and rough landings. It’s tuned for steep, rough terrain where keeping the wheels tracking under hard hits is the priority.

Balanced fit - a middle ground between comfort and speed. That's driven by handlebar height is roughly 61 mm lower than the saddle (moderate drop), and how far you'll be stretched forward is about 644 mm (extreme). Plan for roughly 30 degrees of lean.

In Mountain, Here is the simple reasoning behind the fit flexibility rating: A modular front-end gives more freedom to change stem length or bar width, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier, and A proprietary post often means fewer off-the-shelf alternatives. That is why we tag it Moderately Adjustable. This mainly reflects how easy it is to adjust or swap key fit parts over time.

Ride comfort is 8.7/10 — on a real ride it feels very smooth. So it’s tagged Comfortable overall. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~30°), which puts you in an attack stance, which can feel more intense on long, rough descents.

This is priced well above what we’d usually expect for a similar setup. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 63% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 17% of them. Quick reference: €8.400 listed versus about €5.169 for a comparable build. Put simply: it’s priced more like a premium pick than a value buy.

This bike is made for very rough terrain, big hits, and bike-park riding. It has about 195 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which is useful for big hits and steeper descents. The Full setup supports this riding style.
