Expirience with the Rock Machine Blizzard TRL 70-29

Ludwig Döhl Even if the tube shapes are kept simple, the Blizzard TRL 70-29 is a completely independent All Mountain with VPP rear end. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Rock Machine Fully. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. Well trained athletes are likely to really enjoy the sporty seating position. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Rock Machine Fully doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build All Mountain in the same price range that are more focused on descends. Apart from this criticism, the sporty orientation makes the All Mountain von Rock Machine the best climber in the price range below under 4500 Euro.
