4 reasons not to buy

The Prowler is pricey.

The Prowler is only available in a single 19.7″ frame size.

Information is scarce on the Prowler’s fork, from the little-known brand GTMRK.

A reviewer found that the Prowler’s powerful motor ‘chewed through the juice’, sapping the battery quickly.

Bottom line

The Prowler is one of the higher-quality offerings from ‘huntbike’ specialist Rambo. It’s quiet, it’s stealthy, it’s built to silently stalk through the boonies. Bafang’s 1000W ‘Ultra’ mid-drive motor equips the Prowler with a whopping maximum 160Nm of torque and 1500W of peak power. Most of the Prowler’s components are quality, including the easy-to-use Enviolo CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) internal hub, which has no steps between gears and provides a 380% range. There are multiple places to attach racks, a trailer, bags, bottle cages and even an extra battery. It’s powerful, but this means the battery can be quickly sapped by over-zealous throttle use. The fork is made by new, fatbike-centric brand GTMRK (details are scarce). Not surprisingly, the Prowler’s feature-laden build comes at a high price.

Rambo Prowler Review: Extreme Hunting, Backwoods Electric Mountain Bike

Level 5 expert

If you are a hunter, if you are a bikepacker or if you just love camo, you are going to love this ride… Overall, the Rambo Prowler is an impressive machine that boasts not just impressive specs, but a well-thought-out, purpose-built design. The Prowler doesn’t like the roads. No. The Prowler, I think, scowls at pavement.
