Hello EMTBers
I purchased a 2020 Rocky Mountain Growler Powerplay 10 on closeout in Feb 2021 for USD $2300 tax included. Pandemic EMTB madness made it quite difficult to ferret out a bargain, or even to find a bike at all so I'm happy with the deal.
Geometry is pretty modern without super long reach, and relatively high stack. Longish wheelbase but shorter chainstays for ebike, mid-slack 66.5 headtube. On paper it looks like a pretty stable set up with good ability to roll over stuff while still having a relatively upright body position...
Steve I've considered lower volume tires, but will wait to see stand over first. She's 5'3 and leggy. Fwiw I'm tall and kid is growing like a weed. But yeah, immediate fit is a concern.
Those Mondraker bikes look great, but at 5'3 and destined to be maybe up to 6' she'd grow out too quick...
Or really for her dad, a life long cyclist with 150k+ miles under his belt?
Hi I'm Hank from Seattle. I currently ride a Salsa Vaya on roads and an Ibis Ripmo off roads. I've been on e-bikes here and there and found them to be wonderful fun and good exercise. No crusty analog cyclist bias...
