With every bike manufacturer having delay, does anyone heard about major delay for the 2021 altitude shipping?

Ordered a frame this fall and the ETA was february 24th. I'm getting concerned that it might becomes june 24th.... Is there any industry insider that can update us on shipping progress from Rocky?

Hello. I pre ordered a 2021 Rocky Mountain instinct about a month ago. My bike shop told me that it was set to be released February 24 and they should see the bikes in early March. I spoke with my bike shop last week about another issue but he mentioned to me he spoke with RM a week prior and they said they were still on track for those dates. I know it’s not the bike your are inquiring about, but thought that might ease your mind a bit.

This info came from the manager at my lbs. he pulled out a binder with a bunch of info on it. Suspension is 150/140, teach was 481 on a large, 65.1 hta, 76.1 sta, fox suspension, Shimano slx/xt 12 speed drivetrain. Shimano 4 piston brakes. That’s all I can remember off the top of my head.

I ordered a new Instinct for my son through our local bike shop last August and it was slated to arrive in February, we just found out it won't be here until mid-JUNE!!!!. So you could very likely end up in the same boat. I hope not for your sake.

I ordered my son a Giant Talon 0 at the beginning of September, was told January, after January came and went I phoned to inquire what they thought timeline was, was told July, so we put a down payment on a Rocky Mountain Soul 20 in Feb that is slated to be here May.
Thankful I did because the shop we ordered the Giant from phoned last week to say that it wouldn't arrive until 2022!

I demo'd an Altitude in early July at Park City Bike&Demos, Park City, UT.

A) it is an incredible general trail bike. Great uphill and so fun and capable downhill.
B) the shop was full of bikes- various models, and sizes
