Rocky Mountain Altitude 70 Review
Since GBS just picked up Rocky Mountain in the past few months we thought you might like to hear what some of the first few buyers are saying about them.
Thanks Matt Dunn from the Rocky Mountain Racing team for the info. Glad you are enjoying your new ride!
Matt kindly provided some rider context as well: "Note: I am a sport level XC/Super-D rider coming off a 2005 Giant Reign. I was looking for a lighter trail oriented bike the not only climbed well, but let me enjoy all the normal technical downhill that I love to ride.
Fully built with tubeless set up, it weighs in at just a hair over 27 lbs. I noticed that the chain stays were much longer than I was used to, as well as a slacker (68.5) degree head angle made the bikes over all center of gravity much different than the Reign. The geometry, low bottom bracket height and 15mm front thru-axle make the bike a very stable on the downhill. While climbing, positioning on this bike does take some searching to get comfortable, (I got kicked off a few rocks on the first couple of climbs) but as soon as you get dialed in the bike pedals like a rocket ship. The rear end is super stiff and there is virtually no pedal bob when the pro-pedal is engaged. The long chain stays stop the front end from popping up too much during climbing and give the bike a stable feel up hill as well. This was a huge difference from the old rig.
The XT components are always consistent and the Formula brakes are very powerful. The wheels are light and stiff and worked well with the Stan's tubleless kit. The Fizik Gobi seat is really a perfect fit because of the comfort and length which helps the rider move around in any position while climbing or descending.
Overall, it climbs well and descends brilliantly."
