Bike Setup:
Marzocchi 888RV, Fox DHX 4.0, Formula Oro 24k brakes, Race Face diablous crankset and chainguide, Shimano Deore transmission, Mavic rims, RMB handlebar and hubs, Funn pedals and saddle
Bottom Line:
This bike is just awesome. I had never ride something sweet and smooth like this bike. The suspension makes you feel like you're strapped at the trail, but at the same time you can easily pull the bike for a bunnyhop or a manual, for example. When it's time to turn, it corners like it's on rails (I can safely say that this bike turns better than my slalom hardtail!. The rear suspension, if it's well tuned, makes its job like no other, soft enough to keep your wheels at the trail and firm enough to not bottom out and not bob. If you have the money to buy one top bike, buy a Rocky Mountain. It's a great downhill bike, perfect for freeriders and you even can pedal this bike, due to the good linkage. Perfect

Where do I start. The frame is so stiff and bombproof. I absolutely love the frame. SUPER Plush dhx 5.0 rear shock and it is very adjustable. Fairly decent components.

no chainguide. non adjustable fork

this is a great bike for how much money i paid. I would imediately upgrade to a chainguide if you dont pedal uphill. Rocky Mountain out did themselves making this frame. I love it. I recommend it to all who love riding freeride.
