PRODUCT DETAILS
ROCKY MOUNTAIN ALTITUDE CARBON 50 2024 - ACROSS THE UNIVERSE/SWEET LEAF
From commanding the clock to holding your own on weekend rides. Our new Altitude is purpose-built to go fast and demolish steep trails.
Its total enduro capabilities can help you secure that “top step” and tackle demanding group rides with confidence.
With so much capability in your corner, it’s time to push limits, climb faster, and charge harder.
WHAT SETS THE ALTITUDE APART
Completely reimagined, from the ground up. The all-new design makes the Altitude even faster than before. With increased stiffness and a lower centre of gravity, overall ride performance is leveled up.
Increased stiffness where it matters. Oversized bearings, shorter links, and a one piece rear triangle increases the stiffness to support the rider at higher speeds.
Size-specific tune. Each frame size is tuned for small-bump compliance, mid-stroke support, and end-stroke progressiveness. We use three different rear triangles across our size range to fine tune the rear centre lengths per size and further tune the size SM frame to perform better with lighter riders.
Reach adjust headset. Fine tune your ride with neutral 0mm, or +/- 5mm offset headset cups.
LC2R
It was first introduced on the 2006 Slayer, and was found on later versions of the Slayer SXC and Slayer SS.
The design was then adapted to the popular 2008 Flatline, and then the Flatline WC models.
Now, it’s back, and more refined than ever!
LC2R (Low Centre Counter Rotating) delivers ride characteristics that balance kinematic variables to achieve the legendary Rocky Mountain ride feel riders have come to love.
The mixture of a tuned blend of anti-squat with a rate curve that is efficient and supportive yet responsive, supple, and quiet provides maximum traction, comfort and performance.
PENALTY BOX 2.0
The new PenaltyBox™ 2.0 downtube storage (carbon models only) includes generous capacity, custom tool wrap and our rock-solid hinged door system that doubles down as a water bottle mount and built-in concealed AirTag/Tile compartment.
