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.

Pros
  • 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

Cons
  • 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

Key Quotes

Mar 2022 · Knut Nes
