New Bike Day! Rocky Mountain Growler 50
I’ve got the road covered with a Trek FX6S and gravel covered with a Niner RLT RDO9, so it was time to add a MTB. I’m in the process of moving to Meridian Idaho and with Eagle bike park nearby, a hard tail was in order. In these bike scarce Covid times I got very lucky to find a Rocky Mountain Growler 50 in stock at Meridian Cycles. The Growler came spec’d nicely with Shimano XT 1x12, Rock Shox Gold 35 150mm fork, WTB rims with 4.6” WTB tires, and a dropper post. Great bike so far, and I’ve got some riding to do!

I like the subtle graphics on this one. I have to try one of these new school, big travel hard tails, -- i am interested. My mind keeps thinking it will be too much front end dive, but again, something i want to try
