Blister Gear Review on the El Roy

The editors at Blister Gear Review recently had an El Roy in for evaluation, here's their take on our enduro hardtail model.

"The El Roy is a bike for terrain where most people would want a full-suspension Trail or Enduro bike, but for the riders who want to tackle those sorts of rides with a hardtail — at least some of the time. If there’s appeal for you in that idea, I really do think that these sorts of hardcore hardtails are a blast, and that the El Roy is an excellent example from that category. If you think the notion sounds absurd, that’s okay. It’s not for everyone. Bring the right attitude and some decent bike handling skills to the table, though, and you’ll be amazed by what the El Roy can do."
