Rocky Mountain Vertex Carbon 70

The Rocky Mountain Vertex embodies speed and confidence, sitting at the top of the food chain as their flagship XC-race hardtail. Its lightweight frame provides incredible stiffness and rolling speed, while its modern, aggressive geometry inspires confidence everywhere on the race course—even technical corners and descents.

The Vertex Carbon 70 attacks the course with a Fox 32 Step Cast fork and Sun Helix rims that are ready to charge rough terrain without slowing down. Those rims are mounted with Maxxis Ikon Maxx Speed tires whose primary objective is to get you from the starting line to the finish line in the shortest time possible. That shouldn’t be a problem because you’ll have the huge gear range and quick shifting of SRAM’s GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain at your command, and you won’t lose time off-course at switchbacks because Shimano XT brakes give you the power and modulation to carve those turns with precise control. If “likes to win” is part of how others would describe you, the Vertex is your bike.
