Altitude Alloy 30

I had a chance to demo the Altitude Carbon 70 at the WyIdaho Rendezvous over Labor Day weekend. Amazing bike! The Enduro category is definitely being blurred as this ride did everything I wanted and more! It climbed solidly and quickly. Descents were fast, predictable, and controlled. Firm frame and no BB flex so tons of power transfer. It stayed planted when I wanted and launched when it should! I'm not a racer (5'9" 215lbs) but I felt I could tackle anything on this bike. Well done RM! Thank you for making the effort to participate at the Rendezvous. Your Team was outstanding and out of all of the Vendors, we kept coming back for more RM experiences! Definitely being considered for next bike purchase.

I totally fell in love with my altitude. Bike is amazing in tough terain, eats the trails. In corners it remindes me my previous bike on 27,5 wheels - the geometry is awsome. Unfortunatelly I was not the only one, who liked it, somebody tried to steel it from me and the frame is demaged now, so I look forward when I get the new one.

The green color is pretty too, just a little bit suscetible to small scratches.

I recently got my Altitude A50 and its an amazing bike, definitely comes alive during the fast gnarly rocks and roots but is still a relatively playful and poppy bike. Climbs exceptionally too, only ever found myself flipping that climb switch on very long fire road climbs.

The only problem I do have is I have had the occasional pedal strike as I ride in the slackest position of the ride-9 geometry which puts the bottom bracket quite low.

Other than that absolutely killer, absolutely love the green colour too.

Had a chance to demo the carbon 70 in Valemount BC and was really impressed. I'm 5'11" on a large. Supple with great support when pushing into corners or pumping, got off the ground really nicely, plenty stable, excellent cockpit geo for my proportions... definitely not a bike for blue runs though, bare in mind I usually ride a short travel trail bike but even though its pretty well rounded its still a race bike and definitely benefits from the right kind of terrain as it really only comes alive on faster, gnarlier track. I'm sure there's a better middle ground bike if you want more of a do it all solution. But for me, thinking about the altitude as a second bike for weekend road trips, it's sitting at the top of the list after that demo, I can't get how good the suspension felt out of my head.

I am writing this review after several week and around 10 good rides West of Calgary. I moved up to the XL from a previous L trail bike, I am 6ft1 and so happy with the size. It pedals up long climbs very nice and is so fast and stable one the descents, from fast and flowy to steep and technical. I beat my PRs from my previous bike with even trying!

I love the X2 shock and fork, I am 205lbs and setup was a breeze. I used the matte finish ridewrap and love how it turned out as in the photo.

The one flaw is the rear hub choice, 5 rides in and my free hub started to fail. I was immediately given a loaner wheel until they sorted out the hub defect. I feel for the price point something more burly should have been included as a rear hub.
