Summary

The Rocky Mountain Altitude is a versatile enduro bike praised for its adjustable geometry, excellent suspension performance, and ability to handle a wide range of terrains. It offers a balanced ride with good traction and stability, though some reviews note it could be more efficient on climbs. The bike's Ride 9 system allows for fine-tuning, catering to various riding styles and preferences.

Pros
  • Adjustable geometry with Ride 9 system

  • Excellent traction and stability on difficult trails

  • Supple and fast suspension

  • Versatile with many spec levels and price points

  • 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 Rocky Mountain Altitude is a true enduro race bike that climbs better than you’d think [Review]

Nov 2024 · Sam James

The Rocky Mountain Altitude enduro bike has a totally new suspension layout, and we put it to the test with a full season of riding.

Highs
  • Efficient climber for a big bike

  • Solid parts package

  • Slack geometry makes for a stable ride

  • Supple yet supportive suspension feel, and the Super Deluxe Ultimate shock is a standout

  • Budget-friendly aluminum builds for those who can’t afford carbon

Lows
  • Soft Race Face rims and noisy dropper post

  • A couple of early-adopter issues with frame hardware

  • Not the most playful bike out there

Review: The Rocky Mountain Altitude C90 Has Impressive Grip & Adjustability, But Isn't the Easiest to Work On

Aug 2024 · Dario DiGiulio

The new Altitude works best on steep, loose terrain, which makes sense considering where it was designed.

Highs
  • Excellent geometry with meaningful adjustments

  • Impressive levels of grip over loose terrain

  • Race ready out of the box

Lows
  • X2 shock tune feels too light for kinematic

  • Frustrating frame hardware

[R]eviewed: Rocky Mountain Altitude ‘Carbon 90 Rally Edition’

Feb 2024 · February 19, 2024

When we think of Rally, images of sideways Subarus and Dakar 450’s come to mind. Vehicles capable of haulin’ arse over gnarly terrain all while looking so damn good in the process. It’s an aesthetic that has made its way into the Rocky Mountain range of bikes over the years and 2024 ain’t no different. We take a deep dive into Rocky Mountains new Altitude C90 Rally edition to see if it lives up to it’s namesake. Review: Blake Nielsen  […]
