"No headset routing, because we know better." I love Rocky!

[@awsstvawsstv2809]

i own the 2023 model, and it is so impressive, very silent very confident inspiring. But this new one looks really good.

[@youling1997]

Moto style! Taking cable routing to the next level🎉

[@diltd3989]

saw ken on this bike a few months ago and have just been anxiously waiting for it to drop! Really cool to see the finalized product.

[@CohuttaTrailDevelopersLLC]

Looks almost identical to my Intense Tracer 279 which is already a year old. It does ride good though.

[@KiwiInGermanyMTB]

It's almost perfect. Wish you could order with mullet setup.

[@kyleslater5245]

I thought that was an option? Correcctions…. I saw mention of a flip chip thing to make it work. That said. I doubt I’ll order a mullet bike again. I hate to say it but my next bike will likely be 29 both ends.

[@MrAlexdh]

It doesn't come stock as a mullet setup, but all it will cost you to convert it to mullet is a rear wheel (sizes MD-XL). The lower shock mount has a flip chip to swap between full 29er or MX.

[@Cartsp70]

Absolutely love this bike ! Wow 🤩 bye bye SC 😂

[@kyleslater5245]

Glad to see all the tuning options. I appreciate what my current altitude pp has for adjustment but more is always better. I’m more likely to pickup an element or instinct though.

[@justinfournier1285]

Looks awesome, maybe a tad slack for me. It’s going on the finalist list for new bike to buy this year.

[@Cartsp70]

Guys you don’t need to explain the Lcr stuff!! You can see just by looking this bike is a game changer!! 🙌🏼👊🏽what a beautiful design 🎉

[@Seebema]

Looking good fellas

[@user-gh5ly2hq4o]

I would like to ask if the aluminum alloy version is also good. I have never ridden the Rocky Mountain and would like to try it.

[@almostdoller]

damn I just bought an Altitude at the end of last season , if I knew this one was coming out that soon I would've waited for the new one! looks awesome and way more customizable.

[@tekjim]

Ticks almost all my boxes!!! Just need to swap out a rear wheel

[@dnutr]

It looks like a Nukeproof GIGA

[@MrHopkinsmike]

How did he get a one up edc to fit in a fox 38?

[@Eric.V.]

Looks exactly like a Santa Cruz. Does it share the same suspension platform?

[@chris4536]

No.

[@Eric.V.]

@@chris4536Sorry, I guess it’s more like the Intense. They even copied the concentric BB pivot.

[@chris4536]

Make your own conclusions. I'll be out on the BC steeps when mine arrives!

[@Eric.V.]

@@chris4536Be sure to check the concentric BB pivot. A prominent ytuber had issues of this coming loose during testing. He had to remove the entire crank set and BB to re-tighten it.

[@chris4536]

@@Eric.V. Yeah cheers, saw the vid by Jeff K.W. I work for a RM dealer so plenty of support on hand. Happy trails!

[@Lukieb_na_kole]

Rocky Mountain not available at all in Poland 😢

[@tor-arnemathiassen9278]

Does every model come with Cushcore installed?

[@rockymountainbicycles]

All models except A30 & A50 come with pre installed CushCore front and rear.

[@chris4536]

​@@rockymountainbicycles Any testing on an oval chainring at all? Might size down the stock 32T and noticed RF offer an oval cinch. Cheers!

[@cliffordrichardc]

wish can shipping to hong kong

[@justinfournier1285]

Just get someone to buy it for you or use a freight forwarder.

[@asifitmatters1]

The bike we didn’t know we needed… everything looks pretty good apart from that totally IDIOTIC AirTag compartment.

[@kyleslater5245]

I’m trying to convince myself not to buy one…
