Highlighted Features of the 2023 Rocky Mountain Altitude

Different Frame Sizes

The frame is available in small and medium with 27.5" wheels. Plus medium, large, and extra-large with 29" wheels.

Size-Specific Tuning

Riders in all height ranges get the same balance of small-bump compliance, mid-stroke support, and end-stroke progressiveness. Each tune is adjusted for specific frame sizes.

SMOOTHLINK Suspension

It's supple and efficient when you're pedaling and using any gears. The controlled end-stroke and rate curve make it feel even more capable than suggested by the travel (170mm front and 160mm rear).

RIDE-9 Adjustment System

Use it to quickly fine-tune the geometry and suspension based on how and where you want to ride, just with a set of Allen keys. Nine possible configurations with two interlocking chips.

Two-Position Axle Dropout

You can switch between a long or short rear-center length. That's the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the rear axle, aka chainstay length. Longer improves your stability and shorter gives you sharper handling.

Modular Shock Mount

It's available on carbon models for the convenient future suspension kinematic updates.
