Spot Bikes (United States) - Press Release: The All New Spot Rocker!

The all new Spot Rocker is here! Now featuring a carbon fiber frame, updated geometry and dropouts, and more innovation than ever before. The modular frame allows you to run 29 or 27.5+ wheels and tires and a belt driven singlespeed or chain driven geared setup on the same frame. Featuring a dropper post on all complete builds, this carbon hardtail is meant to tackle tough climbs and descents alike. 

With our deep roots in singlespeed racing and hardtail riding, we designed the new Carbon Rockers for fast and light XC hot laps and long adventures deep into the mountains. With frames starting at 2.8lbs and complete builds at 19.7lbs, they will help you cover more ground than you ever thought possible.

Belt Drive Meets Carbon Frame:

Our patented Kobe Slider 3.0 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 adjustment 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.

Force Response Frame Design:

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.

Both bikes are available for pre-order now with deliveries starting in October.
