Product Release: Rocky Mountain’s MX Mount for Altitude and Altitude Powerplay
Rocky Mountain is excited to introduce the MX Mount for our Altitude and Altitude Powerplay platforms, which allows for a quick and easy conversion to a mixed wheel size setup while maintaining similar geometry.
The MX Mount is available for purchase on http://www.bikes.com and is compatible with all Altitude Carbon 29″ models, and Altitude Powerplay Carbon 29″ models.
The MX Mount
The Altitude combines decades of racing experience with our latest technology innovations that allow you to ride harder and faster than ever before. With the new Altitude MX Mount installed, you’ll be able to use a 27.5” rear wheel to help corner faster and ride more playfully, all while giving you a bit more clearance when you’re behind the saddle on a steep, technical line.
Altitude 29
The Altitude MX Mount is easy to install and maintains similar geometry to the regular Altitude 29. The Altitude MX mount is designed to be compatible with Positions 1-5 of Rocky Mountain’s RIDE-9 adjustment system only. Position 5 is the “Neutral” position, and the bike becomes incrementally slacker and more progressive as you move towards Position 1, the slackest position. Positions 6-9 have less clearance between the back of the seat stay brace and the seat tube and are incompatible with the use of the Altitude MX Mount.
When you install the Altitude MX Mount, you will increase the travel of your Altitude while also lowering the rate curve. This means you might have to increase shock pressure or go up in spring rate to achieve proper sag and suspension feel.
Altitude Powerplay
The Altitude MX Mount is easy to install and maintains similar geometry to the regular Altitude Powerplay. The Altitude MX mount is designed to be compatible with Positions 1-4 of Rocky Mountain’s RIDE-4 adjustment system only. Position 4 is the steepest position, and the bike will become incrementally slacker and more progressive as you move towards Position 1, the slackest position.
