Rocky Mountain Soul 27.5 Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
The Rocky Mountain Soul is a solid, fun and capable recreational hardtail MTB for canal towpaths and cross country tracks. With plenty of suspension travel, hydraulic disc brakes and a quality aluminium frame the whole package is value for money.
You can buy the Rocky Mountain Soul hardtail through a Cycle to Work scheme if your employer participates for even better value.
Frame
Key to the fun and capable ride feel is a strong, light and stiff aluminium alloy (6061) frame. A tapered head tube up-front improves steering precision. Rack and fender mounts improve versatility for MTB touring, winter riding and commuting.
Suspension
It is great to see 120mm suspension travel. This is 20mm more than you find on most recreational hardtails and will help to smooth out more rugged trails. The Suntour XCR fork comes with hydraulic lockout so you can fix the suspension in place on smooth tracks and whilst climbing for improved efficiency.
The fork also comes with adjustable rebound damping so you can fine tune the way your fork behaves over rough ground. It’s an important features because if the fork rebounds too fast you’ll have less control. On the flip side, if your fork rebounds tool slow it won’t be ready for the next impact.
Components
The Rocky Mountain Soul comes with fast rolling and nimble 27.5” rims. These are wrapped in Maxxis Sphinx tyres that have knobbles for grip on off-road tracks but aren’t sluggish when you get back on the tarmac. The set-up makes for a fast and fun ride.
A 3x9 speed Shimano Alivio/Acera drivetrain gives you wide range of gearing. This helps you take on steep climbs, fast descents and road riding. Shimano components are known for their reliability, durability and performance.
Tektro HD-M290 hydraulic disc brakes with powerful 160mm rotors provide all the stopping power you’re going to need. No matter the weather or ground conditions, disc brakes perform equally well. This opens the Soul up as a competent winter steed, and a commuter machine for navigating junctions, red lights and bleary eyed pedestrians.
720mm wide handlebars are wider than most at this price point and give you more control than thinner bars.
