Expirience with the Rock Machine Blizzard TRL 90-29

Ludwig Döhl Even if the tube shapes are kept simple, the Blizzard TRL 90-29 is a completely independent All Mountain with VPP rear end. When it comes down to handling, Rock Machine does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Rock Machine Fully is ready for the majority of singletrails. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the Rock Machine doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build All Mountain in the same price range that are more focused on descends. Rock Machine is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components.
