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.

Pros
  • 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

Cons
  • Less-than-super-efficient climbing prowess

  • Overwhelming number of Ride-9 settings

  • Rear shock requires extra pressure compared to factory recommendations

Key Quotes
It’s been a lot of things, but somehow it still feels like an Altitude.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
The suspension feels uniquely supple, fast, and totally unencumbered, soaking up bumps better than Jonny Moseley in his prime.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
The Altitude’s leaner looks give you a sense that this bike would be pretty good at climbing and trail rambling too.

This bike was a treat in a lot of different scenarios.

THE ALTITUDE IS MEANT TO BE RIDDEN HARD AND COMES ALIVE WITH AGGRESSIVE RIDER INPUT.
