Overview
About this bike
Up punchy hills, around boulders, down steep embankments, and around the suckers in your way, Rocky Mountain's Thunderbolt 799 MSL is downright electrifying. The Smoothwall carbon frame is quick, agile, and extremely lightweight, yet can just as easily tear up singletrack, being that it's paired with Fox's Float shock and fork so you can go big and go fast. Short chainstays combined with a longer top tube and slack head tube angle balance the bike's agility with just enough playfulness and aggression. The innovative Ride-9 adjustable geometry lets you optimize your riding style, and the uber-pro parts package seals the deal. Shimano's 2x11, almost-feels-like-cheating, XTR Di2 electronic drivetrain, their top-of-the-line XTR brakes, and tubeless-ready Stan's Valor carbon wheels with Maxxis treads ensure you've got more than enough bike for any trail. Add a stem and carbon bar from Race Face and a Reverb dropper post, and you're ready to step up your game.
