    Working at a Rocky dealer, this is my favorite Rocky to sell. It is such an awesome bike that is so easy to sell people and it is a bike I want to sell people. I want to see people riding rad bikes, and this is the coolest bike made by Rocky

    Hardtail Party is super honest in his review. He says whats good, whats bad and does not sugar codes it. Not sponsored. And you can see it in his expressions that he loves what he does. How someone that gives so much value on his review only have 41k subscribers? The word needs to get out. I am a fan.

    steve you should do a video with the top 10 bikes you have reviewed and liked this or past years. Would be awesome to see how some bikes stack up against others or just where they stand. Cheers!!

    I am so glad that you were able to review this bike. I had attempted to email you a request to do just that but I couldn't find any contact info on your sites... In any case, great review! This one is top of my hardtail list at the moment.

    This channel is a one-man army (with NUKES!). Dude is a machine. That's a lot of info and service to society from one person. I am not buying the growler but I enjoyed the video and I ALWAYS learn from observations htp makes while riding and reviewing. THANKS! Go Patreon!

    You run out of bikes to review, you should do forks. I'm curious about the options other than Fox and RockShox.

    I picked up a 2020 Growler 40 in June and it’s been a blast! I’ve since upgraded the derailleur and shifters to SRAM GX Eagle and the fork to a 2021 Fox 36 with 160mm travel. Needless to say, it really shreds on the downhill now!

    Thanks for the recommendation. Just picked up a RM Growler 20 recently. Was able to sell my outdated Scott Hardtail and buy this one. I’ve upgraded some stuff ie eagle drivetrain, new cranks, 9point8 dropper and recently a dvo diamond fork. Super stoked to try it out. I think the better/lighter fork will make a huge difference. Thanks for all the education about bikes you have given me over the last year.

    Sedona climbs are crazy technical, I like how you'll stop and make multiple attempts to clean an obstacle. Nice review

    If anyone is thinking about getting this bike, you should really consider it. It’s nicely spec’ed for the price. Only thing I changed is the fork to a 140mm pike. The bike is fun.
