Whether it's racing or just demanding weekend rides, when our goal is to get down the mountain the fastest way possible, the Rocky Mountain Altitude is one of the first bikes that comes to mind. The Altitude is Rocky Mountain's enduro race bike and features 160mm of Smoothlink suspension to bring us a slayer of a bike that lives for aggressive descents.
