Description
Here to take our riding to new heights, the Rocky Mountain Altitude is back and completely redesigned to bring us premium enduro performance. The new Altitude is equipped with Rocky Mountain’s new LC2R suspension system that features a low-slung pivot and counter-rotating link design paired with a new one-piece rear triangle and shorter links to enhance performance going up and downhill. 160mm of LC2R suspension throws down gripping traction and improved small bump sensitivity over the previous Smoothlink platform for even better race-ready suspension kinematics.

Shimano MT6120 4-piston brakes give us big mountain power in a simple package, and WTB ST Light i30 TCS 2. 0 rims are fitted with a Shimano XT hub in the rear for quality performance, spinning uphill.
