RockMan 2012 products.

So - we've had a chance to un-pack our latest RockMan order, and as well as stocking up on some older bits and pieces we've now got some new items in stock.

The Liberté is their latest 26" frame, coming in at £70 cheaper than their other 26" frames such as theRockMan Slate 3.  The geometry's also a bit more conventional, with a lower BB than the rest of the RockMan range at +55mm.




The Radix is the replacement frame for RockMan's first venture into the 24" market.  Featuring more comp-inspired geo than most other 24" frames out at the moment, and a low overall frame weight, this should be an interesting option for those wanting to give 24" trials a try.  Now 24" bikes are officially 'comp legal' expect to see this category taking off...



The Manus 3 is the latest in RockMan's popular 20" line, this time coming in an anodised green finish, only with a Sky 2-esque high BB (+95mm!) and post mount disc mount.



3 bars have been added to RockMan's bar  range - the 7050 Riser, the 7075 Riser and the new unidirectional carbon weave Carbon Riser.




RockMan's long-standing CNC Blues have now got a fresh new look courtesy of some blue anodised backings, but still with the same tried-and-tested brake pad compound.


Their hub range has also been tweaked for 2012, now featuring new shape hubs with different finishes, graphics and prices!  The 135mm Sealed Rear - available in either this anodised Black finish or in a cool anodised silver (the rest of their hubs are available in these colour options too) is now £50 or so less than it used to be, as well as weighing a bit less too.  A good combination...


Their two front hubs (both Disc and Non Disc) have been updated now to feature slightly tweaked designs once again:





Their Sealed Disc Rear 116mm hub has also had a slight facelift too - it's also now the lightest rear disc hub on the market (lighter than most non disc models!):



...and lastly, the Single Wall Front and Single Wall Rear rims have had a slight tweak too to help their graphics match up with the new version found on the 20" Forged Stem.
