Hey friends!
Another summer season has come to a close. As autumn's crisp winds arrive and the nights grow longer, things at Rockets never stand still. We're excited to bring you updates on our new in-house brands, the latest bicycle launches, and exclusive early access to some fantastic money-saving deals - just for our valued subscribers.
Brompton Bicycles
Our stock of Brompton bikes is due to land here with us in store any day now, but you can discuss your fantastic options and place your order here with us at Rockets and Rascals today.
New Santa Cruz Bikes
It seems the design team at Santa Cruz has been hard at work this summer. Earlier in the year, they launched the all-new Bronson mixed-wheel trail bike, followed by the recent debut of the "all-terrain 29er thriller," the Hightower. Both models have received updated suspension kinematics, refined geometry, and cutting-edge build specs, keeping these popular trail bikes at the forefront of modern design.
The latest addition to their lineup is the all-new Vala, a full-power E-bike. This model features the latest Bosch Performance CX motor and a 600 Wh battery, alongside a shift from their signature VPP suspension to a Four Bar Linkage design, giving the Vala a distinct silhouette within the Santa Cruz range.

Season Change - Patagonia
Our new autumn/winter mountain bike range has just arrived in-store! From lightweight, packable Houdini jackets to the fully waterproof Dirt Roamer Storm jacket, we’ve got you covered for any weather. While squeezing in a ride between rain showers can be a challenge, if you’re brave enough to face the elements, we’ve also got cosy layers like the Tech Face Hoodie to keep you warm on crisp, clear days.
In addition to performance gear, we offer a range of casual clothing, including t-shirts and hoodies, plus travel bags and accessories—perfect gift ideas for the hard-to-buy-for rider in your life.
Our Patagonia products can be seen in-store or you can visit our online shop here at your convenience.
