Best all-around Enduro I've been on
I rode a 22 transition patrol prior to this for 9 months and for my terrain, it didn't work for me. I ride a wide range of trails from mellow blues to gnarly double blacks, and with the patrol if I wasn't pushing 110% every ride, it felt heavy, lethargic, and slow. I sold it at a loss, and was honest with myself that it just wasn't the right bike for me and the terrain I ride. With the rest of the reviews on the altitude, and with the luck of the market, I got a pre-owned 2023 altitude with 4 rides on it for very cheap. Needless to say, I am overjoyed with this bike and its quiver. Its snappy when I need it to be, and its stable when I need it to be, and I can pop it around on mellow trails and go balls to the wall on steep fast terrain. I appreciate how well rounded this bike is. You won't be disappointed if you are looking for a do it all bike in mixed terrain.
