However, Rocky designed the bike to still be fun to ride when you get to the destination. Rocky explained that the suspension was custom built from the ground up by Manitou. For instance, a 150lb rider would have his\/her rear shock running around 30 PSI. This is because if the bike were spec&#8217;d with a typical shock that runs in the 200 psi range, and a 250lb rider with 40 pounds of gear were to ride it, there would be a problem. Both front and rear use higher volume and lower pressures. It does not use Boost 148.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight<\/strong>: 29.5 pounds<br \/>\n<strong>Price<\/strong>: 4.499 Us$<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/sherpa-detail-presskit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90404\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/sherpa-detail-presskit.jpg\" alt=\"sherpa-detail-presskit\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/sherpa-detail-presskit.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/sherpa-detail-presskit-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Himalayan snow lion theme runs though out the entire bike.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7865.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90426\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7865.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC7865\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7865.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7865-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7863.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90425\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7863.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC7863\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7863.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7863-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7861.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90423\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7861.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC7861\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7861.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7861-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7859.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90421\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7859.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC7859\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7859.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7859-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7873.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90432\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7873.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC7873\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7873.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSC7873-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Custom Saddle, fork, shock, rims&#8230;everything.
