Expirience with the Rock Machine Blizzard 50-297

Ludwig Döhl The Blizzard 50-297 is the Czech answer to modern mountain biking. Because with its VPP rear triangle and Mullet wheels, this bike has everything that the hip brands from overseas also offer. With its balanced handling, riding the Rock Machine Blizzard 50-297 feels really intuitive. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. On the downhill, however, the Blizzard 50-297 is left in the dust by its competitors.
