Our Rockit ^TM geometry means just point and shoot! The Rockhound's long top tube, short rear end, and lower bottom bracket height place the rider in an ideal cross country position, for climbing, nimble technical work and descents. Front end geometry is optimized for 80mm travel front forks.

The Rock Hound 29er's front end layout includes a machined head tube design which provides plenty of front fork clearance. Also, our 22" and 23.5" 29er designs offer a great fit to really big riders, thanks to the taller 29er forks.

Waterford exclusive OS2 butted tube sets, featuring True Temper OX Platinum air-hardening steel alloys, custom drawn to our rigorous specs. Toptube and downtube are flared at the head tube for greater surface contact and rigidity. Tubeset specifications vary by frame size to offer riders of all sizes the strength and stiffness they need.
