We are looking at getting our first run of fat bikes. Our "local" bike shop carries Rocky Mountain. So we are looking at purchasing 3 blizzard 10s. Anyone own one of these and what are your thoughts?

I have one. I love it. It's more modern geo wise than most fat bikes, but I see that as a positive. It can take a long dropper which is sweet. The head angle may be a bit slack for some, but I think the blizzard is a great value and would recommend it. At the base level most fat bikes are pretty similar since there's no different suspension etc. I think the geometry differences are something most folks can adjust to as long as the bike feels comfortable.

Are you looking to ride on groomed trails, snow etc, bikepacking? This may help influence your purchase and recommendations from others here. The blizzard can take 5'' tires which is helpful if you'll be on loose, unpacked snow often.

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation of the feel of the frame. I have a growler now, and I am thinking this will feel "similar" to it, which I am loving. We will be riding trials that have been packed down by snowmobile mostly.

Here is a link to my experience with the A20.


Love the bike and as previously stated great value for the money. Same frame as the 2023 just smaller wheels.
