Résumé

The Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt is a versatile trail bike praised for its efficient climbing, playful yet capable downhill performance, and comfortable all-day ride quality. Its balanced geometry and Smoothlink suspension system contribute to snappy handling and a smooth ride. While it excels on flowy singletrack and technical climbs, some riders may find it less suited for aggressive descents or prefer updates like tubeless-ready rims and a dropper post.

Pros
  • Efficient climbing and playful downhill performance

  • Comfortable for all-day rides

  • Balanced geometry and Smoothlink suspension for snappy handling

  • Versatile on flowy singletrack and technical climbs

  • Stiff and efficient hydroformed frame

Cons
  • Relatively heavy XC setup

  • Lack of tubeless-ready rims and dropper post in some models

  • May require active riding style on descents

Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt 770: Reviewed

oct. 2014

“The Thunderbolt has made my time climbing far more enjoyable than before, and I get a small sense of satisfaction by simply cruising past people on the way up the hill with a smile and a wave…”

  • Comfortable upright seated position

  • Remote CTD lever for on-the-fly suspension adjustment

  • Supple Fox RP23 shock with progressive curve

Points faibles
  • Top tube slightly small for 5'10" rider

The aluminum frame has four available build specs, and I …
