The popular Ridgeback 602LX mountain bike features a standard rigid fork to keep the bike simple, lighter and easier to maintain. For those not needing suspension forks, the 602LX is the perfect entry level mountain bike. A 7 speed rear cassette means you have 21 wide ratio gears to use whenever the terrain calls for it. A key feature we feel on this bike is the traditional quill stem, rather than the latest A-Head stem. What this means is that you can adjust the handlebars up and down much more easily (With an Ahead stem this is almost impossible) so if you want a mountain bike for a growing rider with some longevity, or a mountain bike with a more upright riding position, the 602LX will definately help! FEATURES Ridgeback mountain bikes are where it all began, The Terrain series line-up features six great bikes that ride with confidence -inspiring ease. Using a classic single-track geomtery, a Ridgeback mountain bike is reactive and intuitive, delivering big ride feel with front end comfort. The 602LX has a resilient steel fork whilst other models use SR suspension for enhanced shock absorption. A triple chainset, wide ratio cassette and Shimano EZFire shifting make light work of the ups and downs out on the trail. For more relaxed cycling the MXK offers the best of all worlds. A higher front end, adjustable handlebar stem and wide sprung saddle provide an upright riding postion for great visibility and comfortable easy pedalling. Built with go anywhere ability, a terrain series Ridgeback is as strong as it is agile, whether negotiating a twisty single track or enjoying a leisurely ride in the park.
