Rocky Mountain Blizzard -30 Review

Mar 2017 · Miles Arbour

The Rocky Mountain Blizzard -30 is a sturdy fat bike that offers plenty of packing space and mixes the right amount of modernity with time-tested features.

Highs
  • Trail bike style geometry lends itself to a truly shreddable design.

  • The biggest tires are, in my opinion, an obvious choice for getting way out there.

  • Fairly roomy main triangle for storage that’s packed full of bottle mounts.

  • Mid-range components are perfect for winter bikepacking trips.

  • Anything cage mounts on the fork… need I say more?

Lows
  • No bottle mounts on bottom of down tube, but plenty of space for a fuel bottle or water.

  • Maxxis FBF / FBR’s are sometimes not aggressive enough for technical winter trails.

  • Would be nice to see a 46T or even 50T on the cassette.
