The somewhat outdated Root Miller underwent a complete overhaul in 2020 and is now more orientated towards the Pikes Peak enduro bike. We have already tested the all-mountain bike.

150 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear, 29-inch wheels and a solid aluminium frame with full ball bearings characterise the new All Mountain from Rose - the Root Miller 3 - out. While the top model we tested for € 3399 already has Fox Factory suspension and the same wheels (DT Swiss M 1700 Spline) as the Pivot Switchblade, which is more than twice as expensive, the entry-level model (Root Miller 1) even costs less than € 2000. The Sram brakes and Sram X01 Eagle drivetrain also make it clear that this price is a real challenge.

Read our test to find out how the Rose Root Miller 3 rides and what we measured in the BIKE test lab. You can find the article as a PDF in the download area below. The test costs 0.99 euros.

Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in BIKE. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them, hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
