Spot Rocker SS 29er Hardtail
Product Description“Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.” Or just leave them all in the dust on the Rocker SS Steel. From the first pedal stroke, you’ll realize it loves riding out front just as much as you do. With the Gates Carbon Drive Belt system and geometry that strikes a perfect balance between stability, agility and comfort, this 29er leads the pack the way a good alpha bike should. Spot has rethought the way a vertical slider-style dropout should come together (literally). Not only does it allow both belt-driven and chain-driven single-speed configurations, it also gives you the option to add a derailleur and "gear up." The unique compact system also gives you the ability to remove and replace the rear wheel without having to adjust belt tension. Add a redesigned super-strong frame connection to the mix and the Spot rear dropout system is the strongest, safest, least fussy and most versatile you'll find anywhere.

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: September 30, 2012 Strengths: Belt drive system is soooooooo damn quiet and smooth!!! The frame isn't the best looking frame ever, but the geometry is just too perfect, too good to be true. Weaknesses: Only come with blue frame for medium size. Not a huge fan for blue. Price is on the high side for single speed, but it is WORTH IT 120%!!! You just can't stop pedaling...too addictive and you will run out of water and gu!!! It doesn't come with life insurance (for the rider); you will be fearless, grow two more pairs of balls, and flying through the trail faster than you ever did before!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Blankets Creek Price Paid: $3299.00

from Manassas, VA Date Reviewed: March 19, 2012 Strengths: Very light "Cool" Factor The Gate's Carbon Drive is awesome! Smooth Handling Best bike I've ever owned, and I've owned A LOT of bikes Weaknesses: EXPENSIVE! The tubeset is prone to denting, I finished riding my first trail and noticed a rather large dent in my frame near my rear brake on the seat stay. Kind of a bummer, but it doesn't affect the frame. That's one nice thing about steal, it may dent, but it won't break like aluminum.

from Orange County, CA Date Reviewed: January 3, 2012 Strengths: Excellent geometry. Smooth ride for a steel frame. Responsive. Climbs well, descends great. Light and nimble. Gates drive is quiet and maintenance free. Weaknesses: None really. May change out size of stem to make a little more manouverable. May need a slightly large rear sprocket for those tough climbs. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: El Moro Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: None. Bike Setup: Standard out of the box.

from Salida Date Reviewed: August 18, 2011 Strengths: I have been thoroughly impressed with this bike from the day i got it. I swapped out some parts- went with chain just to have more gearing options and have now put a thousand miles on it. It is one of the lightest steel frames out there and corners and climbs like a dream. The drop outs work perfectly. The geometry works great for me Medium Frame 5'9", Bikes weighs 22.5 lbs Weaknesses: Very Expensive! The frame is light light light. So light that i put a big dent in the top tube with my shin when i washed out in a corner. The scary part was i didn't really hurt my shin so it says something for now light the tubing is. Still waiting to see if it can be repaired or warrantied.
