Altitude Alloy 30

A month ago I sold my german e-mtb and bought a second hand 2020 Altitude C70 27.5’. What a bike ! It’s incredibly efficient as a climber and gives you confidence when downhilling on single or large tracks. I’ve got a lot to discover riding this bike but everything seems to be easy to reach. I remember 25 years ago when I saw for the first time a Rocky Mountain in my small south of France bike dealer, I was « in love » (it was too expensive as I was a student), now I’ve got One and feel incredbly lucky !

There's something special about how the Altitude's rides. Whether I'm on familiar trails or new ones, the handling and the overall feel of the bike have continued to impress and surprise me in the two years I've ridden this generation of Altitude. My first ride was on a fairly rowdy trail that I'm very familiar with, and compared to other bikes I had ridden down the trail, the Altitude gave me a sense of poise and control that I didn't know was quite achievable. Not to mention the fact that every hole and speed-sapping feature on the trail seemed to disappear under the Altitude, and I've now adjusted to riding faster (and smoother!) than ever before because the bike casually generates speed and fluidity where there used to be none. It may be a bit much for your average trail ride or long-distance excursion on blue trails, but it's fun nonetheless because of its mild handling characteristics and comfortable geometry. I couldn't be happier and more impressed with what Rocky Mountain have done with the Altitude over the years, and I can't wait to see what they come up with in the future because this bike is going to be very hard to top.

I bought the alloy 70 29er. Love it. Climbs great descends amazing. I had trouble with the rear hub but my lbs quickly sorted it out and I got a new one. Loving the shimano I’ve ran sram for the last few years and switching over is refreshing. This bike is awesome highly recommend!!

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.
