Summary
The Rocky Mountain Altitude is a versatile enduro bike praised for its adjustable geometry, excellent suspension performance, and ability to handle aggressive terrain. It offers a balanced ride with good traction and stability, though some reviews note it can feel less efficient on climbs. The bike's Ride 9 system allows for fine-tuning, catering to a wide range of preferences and riding styles.
Adjustable geometry with Ride 9 system
Excellent traction and stability on difficult trails
Versatile with many spec levels and price points
Supple, fast, and unencumbered suspension
Clean, fully tubed internal cable routing
Less-than-super-efficient climbing prowess
Overwhelming number of Ride-9 settings
Rear shock requires extra pressure compared to factory recommendations
It’s been a lot of things, but somehow it still feels like an Altitude.
BIKE MagazineThe suspension feels uniquely supple, fast, and totally unencumbered, soaking up bumps better than Jonny Moseley in his prime.
BIKE MagazineThe Altitude’s leaner looks give you a sense that this bike would be pretty good at climbing and trail rambling too.
BikerumorThis bike was a treat in a lot of different scenarios.
Jeff Kendall-WeedTHE ALTITUDE IS MEANT TO BE RIDDEN HARD AND COMES ALIVE WITH AGGRESSIVE RIDER INPUT.

The Rocky Mountain Altitude C90 enters the “Best Enduro Bike of 2022” group test as the defending champion. But can it claim victory for the second year in a row and convince our test crew with its all-round qualities and smart details?
Adjustable chainstay length has pronounced effect on handling
Excellent suspension
Superb all-round qualities on all trails
Long seat tube and short insertion depth
No storage compartment or tool strap mounts

The new motor boasts the same impressive power, but with more refinement, less drag and less weight.

Rocky Mountain’s Altitude Powerplay can keep up with aggressive riders wanting to push hard yet is equally at home cruising trails under riders who just want to explore and have fun.
