More information on the Rocky Mountain Blizzard Fat Bike and the Rockshox Bluto Fork

First Look: Rocky Mountain Blizzard Storms back as RockShox Bluto Suspension Equipped Fat Bike!

 

[f00g]

I wonder what kind of pricepoint they are shooting for, I like the look of it.

 

[ozzybmx]

I like it... maybe because of the hub widths, thru axle and fork. 190mm didn't appeal but this new 150mm front does, if it comes hand in hand with 197mm rear then so be it.

Looks good! I'm wondering about price point as well.

I thought I was so used to a fat bike as a rigid bike that it would look weird. it doesn't, nice looking bike!

We fatbikers are simply not gnarcore enough. Now that the originator of gnar gnar shredtasticness has joined the fray, we can all call eachother brah, and dress like we are immune to mother nature....

Nice fork though!

Suspension forks in the snow are a waste of money, time, brain power, and adds a bunch of weight. I don't think some of these manufacturers even know what snow riding is even about.

 

[SteveF]

That's a pretty cool way to bring the Blizzard name back...

[Nail Every Trail]

That is a nice looking bike. Good specs too.

 

[Guest]

awesome to see a squishy fork for the masses, and for those that want it for their BIG wheeled fatties.

 

[sickmtbnutcase]

Good specs, looks fantastic, front squishy, new Sun-Ringle tubeless rims and priced decently....someone hide my wallet!

You know that Rocky is based out of coastal BC right? Mild temperatures are part of the gig here so you can find snow and spring conditions a lot of the year. Hence the clothing.

For a bunch of folks that ride goofy looking bikes you are being pretty judgemental about appearances.

People out riding fatbikes = good.

Worry about what you look like.
