Summary
The Rossignol Mandate is a versatile trail bike that excels in climbing and downhill performance, offering a stable and confidence-inspiring ride. It features high-end components like Fox Factory suspension and Shimano XT drivetrain, but some builds may suffer from less precise forks and weaker motors. The bike's design and handling are praised, though attention to detail and component durability have been points of criticism.
Versatile performance suitable for climbing and downhill
High-end components like Fox Factory suspension and Shimano XT drivetrain
Stable and confidence-inspiring handling
Good price for the spec
Steep seat tube angle enhances climbing efficiency
Some builds feature less precise forks like the Rockshox 35 Gold RL
Shimano M4210 brakes with long levers
Weaker 60 Nm motor in some models
Durability issues with rims and battery cover
630Wh battery may limit range for long tours
The E7000 is the opposite, I pedal calmly and the motor puts out maximum power.
The Rossignol only comes to life at high speeds, where it convinces with stoic composure and inspires huge amounts of confidence.
The Mandate Shift XT is the perfect play-bike.
Seemingly impossible climbs are the best part of riding these bikes. Why not maximise the fun on the way up?

High-end spec
Extremely composed at high speed
Oddly-positioned charge port is exposed to dirt
Standard design with little attention to detail
Sluggish and front-heavy

The Norwegian adventure- and emtb rental company Trye had the 2022 Rossignol Mandate Shift Deore 11 in for a few days, and we got to ride it. Rossignol have been making emtb’s for for a few years. The old model was designed by Felt, but the new Mandate Shift is only sold by the Rossignol brand. We did a video of the test, here we also mention two new motors from Shimano. Chek it out!
