The 2019 Rocky Mountain Altitude Carbon was a versatile long-travel trail bike with enduro ambitions, built around a carbon front triangle and a refined version of the brand’s Smoothlink suspension. With 170mm of front travel and 150mm in the rear, the Altitude was designed to tackle aggressive terrain while maintaining pedaling efficiency and agility. Its Ride-9 geometry adjustment system allowed riders to tweak head angle, bottom bracket height, and suspension characteristics to suit different trails and preferences—a standout feature that added serious versatility. The 27.5” wheels kept handling lively, especially in tight and technical terrain, and the modern geometry gave it a confident feel at speed. The 2019 Altitude Carbon was a favorite for riders looking for one bike that could handle big mountain descents and punchy trail climbs alike.
