Rocky Mountain has been designing top of the range mountain bikes for the past 25 years for people who love to ride on the road and off the road. They build bikes for all types of riders; this is the essence of their success. The attention to detail and their dedication to quality ensure they are a key player in the market, even after 25 years.
Since the company’s formation they have been designing and producing some of the finest, toughest, and most desirable mountain bikes around. Today, their range also includes road bikes, commuters, and a range of mountain bikes just for women. And not just their best sellers in pastels, but designs specifically for women, with geometry and sizing suited to their needs.
The bikes themselves are a combination of new technology and old-world craftsmanship, brought to life by a company where cycling is more than a passion, it’s a way of life. Bikes like the Slayer or Flatline could only have been designed by someone dreaming about the perfect bike, and then given the means to make it reality.
Rocky Mountain is based in Vancouver, Canada, where you will find their headquarters and their main production site. Their R&D facility is located right beside the factory. The company is keen to point out they are not a mass production operation. They hand build all of their bicycles in their range and also the wheels. They invest heavily in quality control and have high construction standards also using brand quality tubing and name brand components to build their bikes.
Each year the company hosts the Rocky Mountain Bicycle Show in the U.S. At these events visitors get the opportunity to see the finest custom frame-builders, production bike manufacturers, sports nutrition experts plus components and accessory companies. Attendance also helps support the efforts of Bicycle Colorado and Bike Denver, leading advocates for bicycle safety and awareness.
Rocky Mountain bikes are designed particularly for extreme mountain biking. They are usually ridden on dirt trails and many other unpaved surfaces. When compared to road bicycles they are better and rugged enough for the unfriendly terrain.
