Summary
The Rocky Mountain Altitude is a highly capable enduro bike that excels in aggressive terrain, offering a blend of speed, stability, and adjustability. Its suspension performance is praised for being supple yet supportive, with the LC2R linkage enhancing both climbing traction and descending control. While it demands an assertive riding style, the Altitude rewards with exceptional grip and a racy feel.
Excellent rear wheel grip and stability
Supple yet supportive suspension with LC2R linkage
Adjustable geometry with Ride-4 system
Capable descender with excellent bump-eating capability
High-quality components and in-frame storage
Setup can be daunting for first-timers
Short dropper post out of the box
Some test riders felt in between sizing
Persistent, annoying rattle suspected to be from the dropper post
Requires careful suspension setup to avoid negative ride experiences
The Altitude wants, maybe even needs to go fast. It wants you to be a driver, not a passenger.
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 reinvented Altitude puts grip and comfort above support through the travel, but results in a bike that feels very well suited to steep and loose terrain at the cost of some predictability.Pinkbike

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.
jun 2024 · Spencer Astra
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.

"Fleeting moments of invincibility arrive when you're within the optimal operating speed window..."
Excellent rear wheel grip and stable climbing
Tightens seated cockpit position for comfortable long climbs
High mid-stroke support and consistent suspension rate
Balanced in the air, predictable for jumps
PenaltyBox 2.0 downtube storage is watertight and silent
CushCore Trail inserts come stock, saving rims
Very tidy cable routing, near silent operation
Molded protection minimizes bearing wear
Two small fenders keep dirt off shock and linkage
Stock 175mm dropper post insufficient (prefer 200mm)
Fox 38 small-bump performance not well facilitated by mid-stroke zone
Shimano XT Trail brakes fall behind in power delivery for heavier riders
Wheels have Race Face AR30 rims that are not strong enough (flat spotted)
Stock 500lb spring undersprung for 202lb rider (needs 550lb)
Slow-speed performance on low angle terrain not its forte
