New Rose Bonero 2022 – Hardtail for trail beginners

With the Rose Bonero, the German manufacturer presents a new trail hardtail that uses a 140 mm fork. It is designed to be versatile and to appeal to mountain bike beginners and people returning to biking in particular. We have all the important information for you.

The German bike manufacturer Rose is launching a new trail hardtail, the Bonero. Equipped with a 140 mm fork, it is intended to be a bike for beginners in the MTB world. But experienced bikers are also promised fun on flatter trails. The Bonero complements the brand’s hardtail line-up, which has so far been more oriented towards cross-country.
The bike is available in six sizes from XS to XXL to cover a wide range of body sizes. Frame sizes XS and S roll on 27.5″ wheels, sizes M to XXL on 29″. The chain stays grow with the size, with the aim of offering all riders a good balance on the bike. Rose wants to make the bike versatile with mounting points, so that everything is possible with the Bonero, from everyday use to trail riding and bikepacking. The bike is available in 3 versions and costs between € 1,499 and € 2,199.
