Overview
About this bike
Agile, playful, capable. This sums up the Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt 730 perfectly. It's the bike you want when you want the low weight and acceleration of an XC bike, with the point-n-go confidence of a trail bike. It starts with a hydroformed aluminum chassis and steps it up with a relatively slack head angle, 120mm of travel on both ends, plus Rocky's Smoothlink suspension action. Uphill, it rockets past your crew, and downhill? Well, make sure you have the keys to the car, you'll be waiting for them for a while. The specs are legit: Fox shock, X-Fusion fork, XT Shadow rear derailleur, Race Face controls, and 27.5-inch Sun wheels wrapped in Conti rubber.
