What say you Altitude owners?

What are the bikes PROS vs CONS?

The geo looks dialed and the spec of the Carbon 70 Sram is great, the price is another story. 😉

The Altitude has 10mm more travel front and rear than my Norco Sight. It also had a FOX 36 which is a huge plus as I find my Pike Luftkappe out gunned sometimes.

I chatted with a rider who has had every model year , and he's loving the new bike , He did state he misses the lever lock-out for the rear shock . As it,s not much of a out of saddle peddler , when compared to earlier models .

These guys tested a whole whack of so called enduro bikes. Kind of panned the Rocky as it was more nervous handing than the other bikes. The Santa Cruz Hightower was the favourite. It's a free app with the relevant review on the latest issue, Stay Pinned.

What I got from that link is that these were all really good bikes with no glaring issues but they were enduroing these bikes & Rocky was the slowest ?

Lotsa' reviewers opine the A is more trail than enduro oriented.

Yeah. It sounded like a good bike but not for so called enduro racing.

There are lots of reviews but they are all fluff. I really like real riders feed back. My main concern with the bike is the crazy head angle!!! And the some what high bb. Everything else looks awesome
