Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Growler 50

Ludwig Döhl You are looking for a bike for in alpine terrain use? Then look no further and check out the All Mountain of Rocky Mountain. The combination of a 64 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the All Mountain of Rocky Mountain, even if you ride fast. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other All Mountain around under 3000 Euro that would suit you better. Apart from this criticism, the sporty orientation makes the Growler 50 the best climber in the price range below under 3000 Euro. With 5 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
