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.
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
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 Rocky Mountain Altitude C90 Rally Edition 2021 is incredibly smooth and intuitive.

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.
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
Soft Race Face rims and noisy dropper post
A couple of early-adopter issues with frame hardware
Not the most playful bike out there

For a long, low, and slack enduro bike, the 2024 Rocky Mountain Altitude C70 does everything very well. Check out the full review.

The new Altitude works best on steep, loose terrain, which makes sense considering where it was designed.
Excellent geometry with meaningful adjustments
Impressive levels of grip over loose terrain
Race ready out of the box
X2 shock tune feels too light for kinematic
Frustrating frame hardware

Rocky Mountain's 2024 Altitude Carbon 70 Coil offers plush suspension but delights on climbs with a deceptively lightweight ride.

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 […]

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

Transitioning out the gate and going down the trail was a blast!
