BIKE MagazineSimply put, I rode the fastest I’ve ever gone on the Rocky Mountain Altitude.
Loam WolfThe Rocky Mountain Altitude is a big bike that deserves – nay, demands – big terrain.
Loam WolfThe racy Altitude is as eager to take to the air as it is to carve a corner.

From our first test ride, the new Altitude felt like a true race bike, but not one that was confined to the tape.

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.

I have an affinity for bikes that mount the shock low on the frame. I’m not sure how much dropping the center of gravity legitimately affects how a bike handles, but it sure is easy on the eyes. So, as you can imagine, I was immediately a fan when I saw the new Rocky Mountain Altitude frame redesign. What’s more, the high-end C90 Rally Shimano build makes this an abundantly plush machine. Of course, the Altitude’s voracious appetite for speed is more important than its good looks. I was impressed by how well the bike climbed. Despite being burdened by thick Maxxis Double Down casing tires, CushCore tire inserts, and a front tire with Maxxis’ MaxxGrip compound, the Altitude scooted around efficiently. This left me wondering just how efficiently it would climb with a more trail-oriented tire setup.

Rocky's new enduro bike embodies race-bred intentions.

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 […]
