Rocky Mountain altitude is a killer bike! 👍🏼

I just got mine a couple weeks ago, a beast on the trails!

1994 Rocky Mountain Fusion was my first real MTB, raced that thing for a long time, Still have it, been loaned around for friends and family lol

Great video, your skills are insane man!!!!

Altitude and instinct are dream bikes for me.

Reminds me of Guerrilla Gravity. Has the same flexibility in chainstay lengths, etc. That'd be super cool if you reviewed a GG Gnarvana someday! Good riding, as always, dude!

I’ve never click faster in my life! Love the Vid

I definitely agree about the tires and climbing. For me that's the biggest difference.

Nice bike and nice riding these trails look so killer!

Awesome video and riding skills. You could probably ride that trail on any mountain bike.

Sick bike. And running xtr to me hands down best drivetrain you can get ona mountain bike. The shifting is so fast

Hey its my bike! But brand new and better haha! Love my rocky mountain though! This trail looks like a hell of a lot of fun too!

For your new bike would be a wicked selection & you can have them as a mullet with the Ziggy Link !

So when should we expect the new Rocky mountain altitude in your stall Van? 😃👍

The dream bike right there! One day.. maybe. Do I really need a liver?

What bike would you rather take to a bike park? The RM Altitude or the Spec enduro?

Would you ever try some vittoria tires?

I could see Nick getting an Altitude to replace his Enduro. I've yet to see a review where the reviewer didn't love the Altitude.

Smooth as usual. I'm old and won't ride the elevated stuff. Watching you ride those greasy skinnies on a 29er enduro bike while casually discussing suspension kinematics is a mind bending pov experience. Simply awesome. Oh and that bike is sweet but the $$$?

Definitely a sick bike but Rocky Mountain prices are horrible compared to Specialized and many other brands. The Enduro Pro build is about $1000 cheaper.

First, great reviews! Really enjoying them. I’m just about to decide between the chilcotin 151 and the altitude. Looking for one bike do it all. Poppy and agile enough for home trails and big enough for hitting the bike park. Since you rode them both I‘d like to hear your opinion. Thanks!

Altitude replaces the Instinct BC and I think you can get it in 27.5 or 29er up to a medium frame large and XL are 29er only. New Instinct is the same frame and wheel options I believe but is a 150/140mm travel (if I remember correctly). Thunderbolt is alloy and 27.5 only with a Deore 12spd being the highest spec.

Do you think a fork could ever be too stiff like a carbon wheel could be? Seems that people say the stiffness of the Zeb/38 holds a line better in the rough but people also say too stiff of a wheel can deflect you off your line in the rough
