RM Growler 40 | First Ride at Demo Flow

Riding my brand spanking new Rocky Mountain Growler 40 down Soquel Demo's FLOW trail! This bike is such a blast! Enjoy! 🤙🏽

I’m a 50 yr old guy that used to be an avid rider before an injury. Just getting back into the sport. Love my new Growler. So many more good options than there was a decade ago

[@mfmonthefmf]

dang, that trail is going on my bucket list!!!

[@Tonedefy]

Yeah! Definitely one of my favorites! If you're out here in the Bay Area, I could tour you there. Even let u use the Growler so you can really test ride it!

[@mfmonthefmf]

@@Tonedefy thanks man! if I'm ever in the area I'll definitely hit you up, that place looks ominous and awesome!

[@Tonedefy]

@@mfmonthefmf haha yup. Especially when its foggy like in the video!

[@SonnyRVlog]

Indeed very beautifull view especially with the fog

[@Tonedefy]

Are you in the Bay Area too? I'd be down to ride bro!

[@SonnyRVlog]

@@Tonedefy i wish 😁 i am in DC area, east coast. I used to live in LA before

I sold my Evil Following MB during the pandemic and bought a Rocky Mountain Growler 50. The Growler handles 95% of what the Evil would, climbs better, just goes downhill slower and beats me up after 90 minutes of riding. That said, I'm a middle aged guy with a family so I don't have tons of time to ride, so getting a good workout in 90 minutes is perfect. Love the Growler!

[@Tonedefy]

I hear ya! This bike is perfectly adequate for 95% of my local ride as well. It still feels very much like a hardtail, but man it is definitely super fun!!! Rocky really hit it out of the park on this one!

[@JimsonMTB]

Thats a really nice bike. What time is this? I wanna go there like this kind of weather

[@Tonedefy]

7 ng umaga yan haha, mahamog pa!

Looks like my jam too..love that trail..im just an average rider not wanting extreme..was looking at the RMG but in Australia I cnt find :( looking at either a merida big trail 600 or specialized fuse comp..thanks for the vid.

[@Tonedefy]

Thanks man, definitely love this trail! If you are ever in Northern California, Id be more than happy to tour you around Soquel Demo forest! Good luck with bike shopping, new bike days are always the best!

Thanks for sharing 👍🔥❤️🙏🕉

You never pedaled the bike uphill on this video? Need to take a page out of ‘Hardtail Party’. That guy knows how to do a proper bike review that covers all aspects of a mountain bike.

[@Tonedefy]

Big fan of HTP. Part of the reason I bought this bike was because of his review. I actually have a separate much more in depth video of this bike, but frankly its nowhere near the production quality of HTP.

[@LittleApril-lt7ok]

Polygon xtrada 7 or this RM?

[@Tonedefy]

That was on the Rocky Mountain, although I think the Xtrada will do just fine on this trail. 🤙🏽

[@Tonedefy]

Looks like I misunderstood your question...between the 2, I definitely preferred this RM. It just suits the type of riding/terrain I like better. But the Polygon is still a solid bike, definitely lighter and easier on the climbs!

[@scottlynch449]

How are the breaking bumps?

[@Tonedefy]

It's definitely there, but Ive seen it a lot worse.
