Compare the Rocket 520 to the leading 29er MTBs from Brand T or Brand S. While they charge for the name, we invest every dollar into your Shimano drivetrain and hydraulic braking power. Pure performance, no markups.
Why Rocket 520 is a Game-Changer:
- Hydroformed X6 Aerospace Alloy: Featuring a Smooth-Weld finish and Internal Cable Routing. High-pressure liquid shaping ensures a frame that is vertically compliant yet laterally rigid, giving you carbon-fiber aesthetics with the legendary durability of X6 aluminum.
- Full Shimano Altus 27-Speed Drivetrain: Massive gear range with the Shimano FC-MT210-3 2-Piece Integrated Alloy Crank—technology typically reserved for bikes twice this price.
- Precision Hydraulic Stopping Power: Trust your safety to CSTAR Hydraulic Disc Brakes for one-finger modulation and consistent performance in mud, rain, or dust.
- The 29-Inch Advantage: Alloy double-wall rims and 14G Stainless Steel spokes roll over obstacles that stop smaller wheels in their tracks.
- Available Colors: Choose between a stealthy Matt Black or a premium Shiny Grey finish.

Wonderful book for many reasons
Format: Paperback
I recommend this book for its story, cultural accuracy, and high interest action. First it is an exciting story of how conflicts arise and can be resolved with an exciting lacrosse game at the end. How cool is that? But the cultural and historical details make this a fascinating read for all ages. If you want to know about the lives of Native Americans in the New York area, written by a Native American, and put into an historically accurate story, this is a great read. I would recommend this as a high interest type of reader for middle school readers, one that would challenge them as well. The story could be about conflicts today, but the action is naturally more intense. If you are looking for an accurate portrait of Native American life, Bruchac is a wonderful author for you to choose. It is hard to find good books about northeastern Native Americans.

Engaging and educational
Format: Paperback
We really enjoyed this book as a family. My children were enthralled with characters and depiction of life in a Longhouse village. We supplemented this book with others about the Iroquois Nation and East Coast Native Americans for our homeschooling unit. It was a hit.

Great Story about Native Americans before Europeans
Format: Paperback
I read this book with my kids (11,8) as part of our unit on Native Americans before colonization. They both really enjoyed it. It helped to humanize history for them and show them that although the cultural practices were different, the characters experienced some of the same feelings, relationship challenges, and personal struggles and triumphs that we experience today.

Wonderful book about pre-European North America
Format: Paperback
This is a great book. There's a massive shortage of children's books written by Natives, especially ones that give a picture of pre-European America, and if you've noticed that, THIS IS THE BOOK YOU'RE LOOKING FOR to fill that hole in your home school curriculum/child's library. It's a "boy book," but my seven year old girl got through it without any complaints except that she wanted me to read ahead so I could tell her if anything scary happened. I would say that the plot is a little slow, the main story pauses a lot for background information or traditional stories. But that's not really a complaint, I don't think it's even worth taking off one star. Almost anything by Joseph Bruchac is worth your money, and this one is no exception.
