Overview

Intended use: Trail

Rear travel: Hardtail

Description

The Growler proves that the secret order of hardtail trail shredders is alive and thriving. Sure, it’s got that classic hardtail profile. But 21st century touches across the platform reveal a future proofed, instant classic. 29x2.6 tires for ridiculous grip. An aggressive ride character for surprising levels of confidence while descending or ripping tough trails. A refreshingly simple (and tough) package for rowdy days at the trails. More satisfying than a tropical IPA growler fill on a hot day—and way, way faster. Cheers, eh.

Blown away!

Let me start by saying that after taking a 10-year break from riding, getting back into it was intimidating. Everything had changed, and my full suspension bike had become obsolete. I test rode many bikes, but none felt secure or gave me a sense of comfort. After getting properly fitted for the Growler, which runs large, I immediately knew I was buying a hardtail. In less than a month, I was back to my old riding style, which says a lot about the bike’s handling and ability to grip the ground—especially now that I’m hitting 50! It’s an incredible ride, and at times I forget it’s not a full suspension. You've built an excellent bike that stays true to the roots of mountain biking and trail riding.
