The Reaper provides the same aggressive trail performance found in our Thunderbolt and Altitude full suspension bikes in a smaller package for young rippers. It can tear up singletrack, smash technical descents, and slay bike park laps all day long. And, because we know that kids grow (and have younger siblings), the Reaper is easily convertible from 24” wheels to 26” wheels and vice versa. Don’t fear the Reaper.

Rocky Mountain Growler
The Growler takes full advantage of high volume 27.5+ tires and next generation trail geometry for a capable, confident ride. More traction makes short work of scrabbly climbs, more forgiveness helps hold aggressive lines, and intuitive handling keeps the ride playful. Cheers, eh!

I remember reading an article where various bike companies were asked how they felt about 26 being replaced with 650b as the new smaller wheel standard. Most of them welcomed the change but one guy pointed out that 26 was an important wheel size for young shredders growing into bigger bikes. That it seemed rather short sighted to replace 26 all together. Always thought he made a good point.
