Mountain Biking Pure and Simple

Singlespeed mountain biking is trail riding distilled to its purest elements: you, the trail, one gear, no excuses. Our new Rocker SS embodies that pure simplicity and elevates it with a lightweight yet burly full-carbon frame, a red-hot belt drive and other innovations that make this the fastest and most technologically advanced singlespeed MTB on the market.
 
Weighing in as low as 2.8 pounds, the Rocker’s frame, upgraded from our previous steel version, is nimble, strong, and versatile, with derailleur-ready dropouts should you decide to gear up down the road. The Gates Carbon Drive belt never stretches, never rusts, withstands chain-snapping torque loads and is a proven race winner.
We spec a dropper post on the wide-diameter seat post for aggressive descending, and the Rocker has ample clearance for wide tires that enhance ride feel and control. Our patented Kobe 3 Slider Dropouts make rear flat fixes a cinch—just pop the wheel back in without having to adjust the belt tension or fiddle around.
Spot was a pioneer in the resurgence of singlespeed mountain biking with our steel Rockers. Now we have raised the bar again by creating the ultimate no-nonsense grab-and-go bike for after-work fitness rides or weekend races. Rediscover your passion for fast and light trail riding in its simplest form. It’s just you and the mountain, now go.
#rockerlife

Belt Drive

We designed the Gates Carbon Drive CenterTrack system. For singlespeeders who want to go fast, it is a proven race winner. With its incredibly strong carbon tensile cords embedded within a no-rust and grease-free polyurethane body, the Gates Carbon Drive system, developed right here in Colorado, is highest performing, lowest maintenance, longest lasting and lightest SS drivetrain available.

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.

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.

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.

I got a new KOM on my first ride so I guess the bike is fast

Construction, good for the price.

Handling, seems very good, stable at higher speeds, nice neutral steering (no floppy feeling when turning).

Fit and parts, all standard so no problem building a bike.

Getting parts to fit the belt-ring to a crank was a bit tricky, it would be easier if they are offered a spider as used on the full builds as spare parts. Eventually I found that an SRAM Quark powermeter would fit ... and that was an even better solution (since I wanted a power meter anyway).

Otherwise they shipped the bike soon after the order was processed, and it arrived shortly there after.

I still struggle to understand what the bike is for. Its an ASTM 3 (XC) bike, but with a geometry one expects on a hardtail enduro bike ... anway I have it setup for XC racing, with an offset seatpost to get a more stretched riding position. So no big jumps or anything like that. I guess it will be strong enough.

Good Bike

I am 5'9" with 32: inseam and got the Medium carbon SS with belt drive and had really high expectations based on all the reviews. Compared to my old SS steel bike this is definitely an upgrade. I really don't understand all the hype. For one, the belt drive is a constant worry. The fact that Spot did not create a method to protect the belt from impacts irritates me. I have spent a lot of time trying to come up with a solution but nothing yet. I really can't enjoy the ride always being concerned about hopping over logs and hitting rock gardens. The belt drive itself is a very nice drivetrain, providing immediate acceleration. The bike handles well too, but the cockpit feels small so riding makes me feel a little too far over the handlebars for my comfort. Overall not worth the money to be honest.

Fantastic Bike

If you are considering a 29er hardtail Single Speed, do not hesitate to purchase the new Rocker.

JUST BUY IT!! You will not regret it.

Incredibly light, great handling with the trail geometry, well balanced while standing, nimble and a blast to ride. My favorite hard tails of all time...and I've owned many.

I'm 6 '2"ish, 34 inseam and went with an XL. The size chart places me on a Large, but I'm completely satisfied on the XL.

Fantastic product and service

After just a few rides, the bike performs amazingly. It is super smooth and quiet. The geometry is very well balanced for climbing and attacking descents. I am constantly looking forward to my next ride. The sales and service department were very communicative throughout the entire process.
