A Rebellious Hardtail
Our full carbon frame has one of the best strength-to-weight ratios in the industry. We shaped and engineered this frame material to be super playful, with a low stand-over height and a wide-diameter seat tube to accommodate a dropper post for full-throttle descending.
Our patented Kobe 3 Slider Dropouts offer modularity that enable you to convert to single-speed belt drive in the future, and our short seat stays place your weight squarely over the rear wheel for uphill traction, with clearance for big tires. Our Groovy Guides hide cables yet provide easy access.
This bike tics all the boxes: XC racing, road tripping, after-work excursions, long weekend adventures and more. Our previous steel Rocker is a legend. The new carbon version marries the best qualities of its predecessor with a host of upgrades that make the Rocker the best-riding hardtail on the market.
FORCE-RESPONSE FRAME
We designed the Rocker frame based on detailed analysis and testing both in the lab and on the trail. The frame shape is driven by a Force-Response design philosophy that maximizes strength and durability, and focuses material in areas where it is most needed. Beefy chainstays (or belt stays) handle huge power loads and prevent flex, keeping the belt straight and true. Svelte seatstays provide comfort in the saddle. The large box section downtube streamlines power transfer between the handlebars and pedals, while the trim top tube saves weight, lowers the center of mass, and provides easy stand-over clearance.
Modern Geometry
The Rocker is a modern hardtail that is light enough to race yet burly enough to air out and descend with trail bikes due to its dropper post, long reach, steep seattube angle and relaxed headtube angle. It’s a confidence inspiring bike on challenging downhills.
Kobe Slider 3 Dropouts
Our patented Kobe Slider Dropouts are the lightest, most compact, and easiest to adjust chain- or belt-drive-optimized sliding dropouts on the market. They offer 15mm of slider throw, an inboard brake mount for better protection, and precise adjustments capabilities for optimal tension. Tire fixes are easy. Drop the rear wheel as you would with any thru-axle dropout, then pop it back into position with no adjustments, and resume riding. Singlespeed belt or geared chain.
Plus or 29
We offer the Rocker as a 29er with clearance for up to 2.4 tires, or as a 27.5-plus with clearance for tires up to 2.8. Because we believe in options. The 29 is faster, lighter and offers lower rolling resistance and tighter steering response. The Plus offers more grip, more comfort and better balance on rough trails at low speeds.
Groovy Guides
Hose lines on a beautifully shaped bike frame are kind of like those overhead power lines that ruin your view of the sky: they are butt ugly and could easily be hidden with some effort. Our Groovy Guides integrate the rear brake line into the tube, providing a clean look while also offering easier access than internal cable routing. Our Groovy Guides make it easy to service what may be the most important cable on your bike, while also keeping it out of the way and eliminating snags. One more example of how we sweat the small details to enhance your ride performance.
Lifetime Warranty
We design and test our frames to the highest standards so you can be confident in your investment. Should you have an issue with your Spot frame, we will warranty it against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the frame. Of course there's some fine print (read here), but if you buy a bike and ride it as it is intended to be ridden, we've got your back. And if you do get into a fender-bender, we have a fantastic crash replacement program as well.
