2014 Rocky Mountain Blizzard Fat Bike

2014 Rocky Mountain Blizzard Deore model FAT BIKE. Medium size.

The frame boasts the legendary Rock Mountain smooth, clean welds, and highlights a West Coast Art inspired paint job. Combined with the subdued paint job, the bike is just stunning. Also included is the Integrated Rocky Mountain x Porcelain Rocket half-frame bag (sold separately at time of purchase for $150). Fat bikes are for adventure and this bag lets you take whatever you want with you. This bike sold out completely last winter.

The Blizzard was designed with a shorter- than-average top tube to keep it nimble, and wide 4.7” tire clearance for maximum float on soft terrain. The bike rips through snow, mud and dry hard pack trails.

Shimano Deore drivetrain (race face cranks) and hydraulic disk brakes (Rocky loves to spec shimano !) MULEFÜT 80 SL tubeless compatible rims (set up with tubes right now) and 45 NRTH HÜSKER DÜ tires.

Is a Fat Bike everything those who own them boast of? At first I was skeptical (and sick to death of all the posts on Facebook of people’s fat bikes leaning up against stuff). I thought – they are slow, heavy and awkward. Well after I gave in a bought it – I was quickly converted (or turned hypocrite). I could not believe how fun it was – you have so much TRACTION!! Corners that I always brake for on an XC bike I was railing around fisting the bar (no brakes). Climbing loose stuff, banging down bumpy trails – everything was so much fun. I stopped using the trainer this winter, and used my lights to ride in the forest most nights of the week (boots and pogies help here). I am selling this bike to go full carbon and keep loving the FAT BIKE experience.
