Expirience with the Rock Machine Blizzard TRL 30-29

Ludwig Döhl Even if the tube shapes are kept simple, the Blizzard TRL 30-29 is a completely independent All Mountain with VPP rear end. Thanks to a moderate 66 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position is sporty. There are All Mountain in the price under 3000 Euro that have more potential downhill.
