Hale to the bigger 29er mountain bike wheel and the recent revival of the nearly extinct aluminum hardtail!
2012 Rocky Mountain Vertex 950
Cross country domination will be at the tips of your fingers with the new Rocky Mountain Vertex 950. Top-notch handling due to the insanely tight chainstays to get the rear wheel under you to carve singletrack with a shit-eaten grin like never before. The advanced properties of acceleration and climbing also come from the proprietary FORM shaped aluminum tubing with a tapered head tube and press-fit bottom bracket. Those fast and fun attributes are also enhanced by the big 29er mountain bike wheels and of course, the RockShox 100mm Reba fork. The bike is 29er spec’d with a full SRAM 2×10-speed drivetrain, DT Swiss wheels, and Formula disc brakes, the Vertex 950 shifts, goes, and slows like a true XC alloy rocket should. Plus, finishing the trim kit from Easton and Fizik are dialed right there as well.
