Overview
About this bike
Your competitive riding buddies are not going to like this. Rocky Mountain's Vertex 970 RSL will take you to the front of the pack. Crafted from high-modulus carbon, the 970 dismantles trails with a press-fit bottom bracket that lays all your power down and a tapered head tube that corners better. In or out of the corners, bumps disappear under the big DT Swiss 29-inch wheels aided by a RockShox 100mm Reba fork leading the charge. With a full SRAM 2x10 speed drivetrain and Formula disc brakes, the Vertex shifts and brakes just as sweet as the frame rides. Plus, the Easton kit and Fizik saddle want to go fast just as bad as you do.
