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.
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.
