THE STORY OF THE ROCKRIDER 500 CROSS-COUNTRY MOUNTAIN BIKE…

Entirely designed and developed in France at the B’Twin Village (Lille), this mountain bike is the fruit of the work of an expert team of passionate cross-country mountain bikers. The Rockrider team designed and tested the Rockrider 500 XC mountain bike with their mountain bike testers.

For your satisfaction, the Rockrider XC 500 is assembled in our own factory in Lille, France, just a stone’s throw away from our design team.
