Bergamont Bicycles Roxtar 2.0 (2015)

The 2015 Bergamont Bicycles Roxtar 2.0 is a starter mountain bike. Solidly built, the lightweight, sturdy aluminum frame serves as the base for reliable components everywhere: a ride-smoothing suspension fork; wide gearing, cleanly shifted by Shimano, is protected behind a chainguard; reliable, sure-stopping V-brakes; and tough alloy wheels, inside go-anywhere tires, at home on trails, in parks, down paths, or even on the street.
A good first mountain bike.
