2009-2016. In the fall of 2009 I sold my Santa Cruz Blur XC and got this bike, a used 2009 Rocky Mountain Altitude 70. It climbed better than the Blurs before it, it descended better with longer travel and no brake jack.(a known problem for them) and it was red, with a better, smoother fox fork. I friggin loved this thing so much that I kept of years after it was out of date! I ended up putting Mavic Crossmax wheels on it and upgraded it to Shimano XT 3x10 before selling it. In 2011 I took it to Moab and had a fantasic solo trip with the dog.
