About this bike
The Vertex embodies speed and confidence, sitting at the top of the food chain as Rocky Mountain's flagship XC-race hardtail. The light, stiff aluminum frame exudes a go-fast nature, and the competent mix of components gives you the tools to succeed. Front-end shock absorption is handled by the Rockshox Reba RL 100mm fork, which guides a set of Sun Helix TR25 SL wheels wrapped in Maxxis Ikon 29 x 2.2-inch tires for predictable handling in a fast-rolling package. A Shimano XT drivetrain delivers on-point shifting while SLX hydraulic disc brakes offer showstopping power for controlled cornering and descending capability. RaceFace crank and bottom bracket along with Rocky Mountain aluminum cockpit components give you the strength you need, creating a lightweight hardtail that wants nothing more than to be ridden to the limits of possibility.
