Overview
About this bike
Rocky Mountain's Altitude 970 likes all the trails. Built around Rocky's Straight Up geometry on 29-inch wheels, the Altitude 970 makes climbing easy, yet with 115mm of SmoothLink rear travel, a through-axle front wheel, and Shimano XT discs with 180mm rotors, it's clear this bike rolls with the descents in mind. The proven Fox fork reinforces that fact with a stiff tapered steerer and 120mm of action. Plus, a full Shimano XT 10-speed drivetrain powering DT Swiss rims wrapped in Maxxis tires turn make every trail easier. And the spec list on this bike keeps on going the right way with a Fizik saddle and some aluminum Easton bits to make this bike ready to rock right off the showroom floor.
