Rocky Mountain Solo 70 Review

May 2019 · Miles Arbour

The 2019 Rocky Mountain Solo 70 has seen a few updates, including new drivetrain specs, a dropper post, and high volume 650B tires. Here's our full review..

Highs
  • Modern features like thru-axles, big tire clearance, and various mounts.

  • Fast and stable on gravel, dirt, and pavement.

  • Lower price point than some carbon and steel options.

  • Versatile build kit that will make any type of road very fun.

Lows
  • Aluminum frame isn’t the most comfortable, and is best suited for long day rides and lightweight overnighters.

  • A few component swaps may be in order, including the alloy bars, tape, dropper post lever position, and tires.

  • Some of the threaded bosses could be tweaked to be more effective, fingers crossed for 2020.

  • Stock WTB Byway tires showing damage / signs of wear after a few months of riding.

  • Stock SRAM rear hub may not have greatest track record when it comes to reliability.
