Frameset

FrameWith a heavily sloped top tube and a wide range of sizes (from S: 1.50m to XL:2.00m).The ST 540 mountain bike frame is UNISEX.The ST 540 mountain bike is available with the same frame in a WOMEN'S version: fitted seat, narrower handlebar, shorter stem, fork with a more flexible spring, and brake levers that are closer together.As a WOMAN, if you choose the MEN'S model, we recommend at least purchasing the WOMEN'S SPORT 500 saddle which is fitted to the female form. - For less weight and more efficient pedalling, the Rockrider ST 540 MTB frame is made from 6061 aluminium (only 2.1 kg in size M).Our designers created this bike to be comfortable and easy to manoeuvre. Its slope has been designed to keep your back straighter. The lower bottom bracket helps keep you more stable during turns.
SuspensionsRide over obstacles with the hydraulic fork. Its 100 mm travel allows you to calmly overcome more obstacles (roots, pebbles, stones, mud).Its built-in lockout system helps to prevent bobbing and loss of speed on faster terrain. - rear: This mountain bike has no rear suspension. It is a "semi-rigid" mountain bike.Compared to a full suspension mountain bike (with rear suspension), the advantages are clear: this mountain bike is lighter; less energy is lost on flatter ground. If however your primary concern is comfort and manoeuvrability, the ST 540 is available in a full suspension version with suspension at the rear.

Brakes

BrakesNo matter what conditions you ride in (dry/wet), the Rockrider by Tektro 160mm double hydraulic disc brakes will come through for you, even in the mud.Hydraulic braking adds more power and progressive braking and requires less powerful use of the brake levers.The aluminium brake levers are easy to grip, lightweight, and precise.
