The Growler Jr 24 is a scaled down version of the popular hardtail from Rocky Mountain Bikes. Like its big brother, it’s a progressive hardtail shredding machine.

Aggressive geometry
Built to last
Killer tires
May be overkill for riders/trails
Sluggish in tight spaces

Rocky brings modern hardtail geometry at an entry-level price with the 1000 USD Growler 20...
Progressive geometry with 64° head angle
Same frame as higher-end models, upgrade-friendly
Boost 148 thru-axle rear, tapered headtube, BSA bottom bracket
29x2.6" WTB Trail Boss tires with clearance for more
Shimano MT201 brakes with good lever feel and modulation
Wide 780mm handlebar, WTB Volt saddle
Great climbability and descending capability for price
No major compatibility issues, tubeless ready
Hard plastic grips are awful; needed replacement
No clutch derailleur leads to drivetrain noise and occasional chain drop
Resin-only rotors and Centerlock hubs limit upgrade ease
Suntour fork is overdamped and has blow-off tendency on big hits
Square-taper crankset flex under load; drivetrain doesn't shift under load well
No dropper post included; seatpost may be short on smaller sizes
Brakes lack power compared to higher-end systems
