Summary

The Rocky Mountain Altitude is a highly versatile enduro bike praised for its adjustable geometry via the RIDE-9 system, offering a customizable ride that excels in both climbing and descending. Its lightweight carbon frame and high-quality suspension components, like the Fox Float X CTD, provide a smooth and efficient ride. However, some reviews note issues with suspension tuning and frame flex, alongside a high price point.

Pros
  • Adjustable geometry via RIDE-9 system

  • Lightweight carbon-fiber frame

  • High-quality suspension components

  • Excellent pedaling efficiency

  • Great handling through switchbacks

Cons
  • High price point

  • Stock Fox suspension tune too linear

  • Some frame flex

  • Internal cable routing issues

Key Quotes
The Altitude pedals so briskly I never felt compelled, even on the steepest of hills, to switch the Fox CTD rear shock into climb mode.

MF Tested: Rocky Mountain Altitude 770 MSL Rally Edition

Nov 2014
