The vast majority of e-hardtails are designed for forest road tours or even everyday use. Not so the new Growler. The Canadians have clearly labelled their hardtail "Trail". So the Rocky is practically begging to finally be allowed to turn off the forest track into the terrain. Thanks to the small wheels and short geometry, the Growler rushes nimbly round tight bends. The 2.8 inch wide Maxxis tyres greedily soak up bumps, especially at air pressures of around one bar. The large contact area generates more traction than the standard sizes. And the comfort is also superior to that of normal hardtails.
A detailed test with all the facts and laboratory values from EMTB 1/2021 can be conveniently downloaded as a PDF below the article.
The test costs 0.99 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in EMTB. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them - hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
