Overview
About this bike
We need more words for light, fast, and awesome to describe Rocky Mountain's Vertex 990 RSL. Crafted from Rocky's high-modulus carbon, the 990 absolutely devours XC trails and lights up the race track. The press-fit BB provides efficient power transfer and a tapered head tube stiffens up the front end so you corner with precision. Bumps disappear under the light Stan's 29-inch wheels and the 100mm RockShox SID with remote lockout. SRAM's impressively lightweight X01 1x11-speed drivetrain and Shimano XT discs shift and brake with pro-level quickness. And, a compliment of excellent parts from Race Face leaves you searching for adjectives.
