Description
The Roscoe 9 is our best all-mountain alloy hardtail, built for lap after lap of grin-inducing fun. A 140 mm FOX Rhythm 36 fork, powerful 4-piston brakes and a fast-and-grippy wheel and tyre combo deliver incredible capability whether you’re nailing jumps or picking through gnarly rock gardens.
You love the serious fun and connected feel a hardtail brings to the trail, and you want one that’s spec’d with top-notch parts that love rough and tumble runs as much as you do.
A lightweight aluminium frame, a 140 mm FOX Rhythm fork with beefy 36 mm stanchions, a Shimano SLX/XT 1×12 drivetrain with a wide range of gears for climbing, powerful 4-piston brakes and a dropper post for room to move around on the bike on descents, corners and jumps. Plus, fast-rolling 29er wheels and wide, grippy 2.6″ tyres.
Rip laps, catch air and crush techy descents on our best hardtail. Of all the rad parts on this bike, the FOX Rhythm 36 fork is the best upgrade – it’s capable of soaking up even the roughest lines.
– 29er wheels and wide 2.6″ tyres make for a grippy, confident and fast-rolling ride
– Bigger, stiffer 36 mm fork stanchions won’t flex, so you can push harder with more precise, confident steering that helps you stay on your line
– The FOX fork’s air spring can easily be adjusted for a specific rider weight, and it’s lighter than a coil spring
– The dropper post lets you lower your saddle on the fly so it’s out of the way on descents
Ready to get rowdy
With 140 mm front travel, trail-smashing 29-inch wheels, and dialled-for-dirt frame features, the Roscoe is ready to get rowdy on your favourite rides.
