Hit the trails and it will hold its own with more expensive mountain bikes, put it on daily commuting duty and it won't let you down, or even fit a pannier rack and luggage and take it off on multi day adventures. This bike is capable of doing it all, and doing it well.

Design and Materials

The Rockrider ST 540 boasts a sleek design that's both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The French-designed frame, made of the same high-quality 6061 aluminium that's normally found on much more expensive rides, ensures durability while keeping the bike lightweight. This combination ensures that the bike can give you the confidence to tackle gnarly trails while still allowing the you to manoeuvre with the bike with ease.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

When you're hammering down singletrack or finding yourself in a situation in traffic, you need brakes that you can rely on. The ST 540 comes equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, providing superior stopping power in all conditions. Unusual to find at this price point, these hydraulics are super smooth.

Double Chainrings

The 18-speed double chainrings system adds to the bike's versatility. Whether you're climbing steep hills or cruising on flat trails, the ST 540 ensures a smooth and efficient ride. The gear transitions are seamless, allowing you to focus on the trail ahead, while offering you the broadest range of gears to get you up all manner of hills.

27.5" Double-Walled Rims

The 27.5" double-walled rims provide the perfect balance between stability and agility. They're robust enough to handle rough trails while ensuring that the bike remains agile for those tight turns and technical sections.

In-depth Comparisons

The Rockrider ST 540 stands tall among its peers, but how does it compare to its main competition - the Carrera offerings?

The ST 540 is designed for those who know that they want a high-performing bike rather than a heavier workhorse. The Rockrider's 6061 frameset really shines through, the XC forks are matched perfectly with the geometry of the frame, and the hydraulic brakes on this Rockrider just blow everything else away at this price point.
