Review: Rocky Mountain Altitude Alloy 30

Jul 2019 · Richard Cunningham

Just-right geometry, great pedaling performance and a needs-nothing components pick for under $3,000 USD.

Highs
  • Efficient feel under power

  • Spot-on trail handling

  • Needs-nothing component spec

Lows
  • Won't flourish at the bike park

  • Ride 9 chip could be a negative in the wrong hands

Rocky Mountain Altitude 2018 Review – Evolution Completed

Jul 2017 · Moritz Dittmar

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, evolution /’ɛvəluːʃ(ə)n/ is “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are believed to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth.” But what’s that got to with bikes and – more specifically – the new Rocky Mountain Altitude?
