Rose Bikes united Mr Big 29er hardtail and his old Psycho Path 27.5-inch hardtail in a new Psycho Path. Frame size S is only available with 27.5-inch wheels, while bikes in M, L and XL get 29-inch wheels. The geometry and frame shape are unchanged from the old Mr Big, but a new layup of the carbon fibre mats has saved 150 to 180 grams (depending on size) on the frame.
According to the manufacturer, the frame of the new Psycho Path weighs 950 grams in size M. With the Psycho Path 3 pictured here, Rose plays the trump card of a direct mail order company and equips the bike for 3499 euros with a complete XTR groupset, carbon handlebars and seatpost and high-quality DT Swiss wheels.
According to Rose, the poison green racer weighs just 9.3 kilos (without pedals) and is available now. Of course, the new hardtail can also be customised according to personal preferences in the Rose configurator.
