Rockrider 6? Are you referring to that full-sus BSO? If so, stay away from it and buy a decent hardtail. Don't touch any full sus priced south of 70-80k. In fact, after the new price hikes, a capable full-sus will cost you nothing less than a lakh.

Hi Guys,

I am unable to decide between RockRider 6 2011 model and RockRider 5.2 2012 model. The specs which I stumbled upon doesn't make much sense to me.
The former is priced at ~18k while the 2012 RR 5.2 costs ~20k.

Please shed some expert opinions on this as to which is the better deal and which one I should opt for...

I'll use the bike mostly for office commute and very occasional trails...

Thanks,
Shabareesh

5.2 is a better buy than 5.1. The shocks are better and there are double walled rims on 5.2. Also, the 5.2 has a freehub-cassette mechanism, unlike the freewheel on 5.1.
