Overview
The Eastern Bikes Growler LTD is a 26 inch BMX-style cruiser with a full chromoly frame and fork and mechanical disc brakes, built for a smooth street ride rather than tricks or jumps.
Eastern sizes the Growler up from a standard BMX into a big cruiser body, and it is also sold in a Limited 26 inch and a 29 inch version. Eastern is explicit that this bike is not intended for tricks or jumping, which matters given the BMX-cruiser look draws that crowd. Reviewers split sharply between owners who found it smooth and durable and one buyer who ran into stripped hardware.
- Full chromoly frame and fork
- 3-piece tubular heat-treated chromoly cranks
- Eastern Maxum alloy 36T sprocket
- Mechanical disc brakes
Who it's for
Riders who want a stylish chromoly cruiser for street riding rather than park or trick use. Not the choice for anyone planning to jump or grind it, since Eastern says so directly.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who kept the bike called it durable and smooth, with one buyer saying it exceeded expectations aside from a packing issue that bent a spoke. Another buyer reported the seat bolt and nut stripped quickly and a handlebar bolt ripped a nut off its housing, and noted no kickstand was included.
