I love this bike but it is time for me to thin out the quiver. This bike has had $2000 of professional service (not me) this year - completely stripped down to replacing bearings!
"Lofty climbs, wicked descents, all day epics - Rocky Mountain's Altitude 750 MSL does it all. Built from Smoothwall carbon and hydroformed aluminum around Rocky Mountain's Ride-9 adjustable geometry, the Altitude romps up climbs just as proficiently as it charges downhills. Either direction, with 150mm of remote-controlled SmoothLink rear suspension and a Fox 34 fork with 160 mm of travel, traction can be found everywhere. And you'll go everywhere with an efficient Shimano 1x11 drivetrain and Race Face cranks bolstering your climbing legs, while a wide Race Face bar anchored by a short stem for plenty of leverage to muscle through techy sections. With the stout 27.5-inch Wheeltech wheels, proper Maxxis tires, RockShox dropper post (now a reverb post), and Shimano SLX discs, your riding skills are headed for a new altitude."
