Rocky Mountain is bringing the Reaper back in Grom form. Utilizing much of the technology from the adult bikes such as Ride-9 geometry and suspension adjustments, the Reaper is available in 24″, 26″ and 27.5″. The 24″ version can accept 26″ wheels, and the 26″ version can accept 24″ wheels, thus making it much easier on parents’ wallets. Anyhow, check out the press release below for the details…
We also have a new video featuring Rocky Mountain athlete, Dane Jewett on the new Reaper 26. Dane is a 12-year old rider from Squamish, BC, and at 4’10” is able to throw down some seriously impressive moves on a bike!
We wanted to show how much fun riding is through the eyes of a kid. Filmed over Crankworx in Whistler, Dane was busy racing, riding with friends, and loading up on sugar and pizza.
Special guest appearances from Remi Gauvin, Thomas Vanderham, and Carson Storch. We hope you enjoy, The Grom Reaper
