whoa
oh yeah
today I am demo riding a brand new Enduro bike yes I do enjoy my 2020 transition Patrol I've
actually decided I would like to find a size medium frame for this build but I'm also not
married to transition so it also may be worth looking into some different Enduro bikes you've
already seen me Demo ride a Santa Cruz Nomad a few months ago and I definitely enjoyed that one
too but for today I'm gonna check out the Rocky Mountain altitude and this one was sent to me
from the Pros Closet and yes they are the sponsor of today's video so the Pros Closet buys and sells
certified pre-owned bikes and now they're even offering direct to Consumer brand new bikes from
some Brands like Rocky Mountain so I decided to try that out I picked out a brand new 2022 Rocky
Mountain Altitude alloy 70 personally I don't really need carbon now whether you buy a new
bike or a certified pre-owned bike from them the bikes come almost fully assembled all you
really need to do is put the front wheel on your own pedals pump up the tires and maybe adjust
the handlebar if you do buy a pre-owned bike from the Pro's closet to get certified by the
master mechanics who inspect wash replace parts tune up all the bikes in their warehouse based
in Louisville Colorado making sure the bike shows up at your door ready to ride in an awesome shape
The Pro's Closet sells more than bikes too suspension Wheel sets helmets whatever got
shoes you never ride trade them in get a new kit or just shop their website for hundreds of items
you need if you're going the used route you don't have to worry about buying a dud with these guys
I would definitely trust them with my purchase and you can use my code boostmaster22 for free
shipping their website's got all the information that you need including the weight this one comes
in at 35 pounds 13 ounces so with this being the alloy 70 spec it basically means it's a pretty
solid build here it's worth $7,346 Canadian the bigger sizes have 29er options as well I'm just
going for 27.5 though and on this build we've got a fox 38 grip 2 damper probably my favourite part
on this whole bike Fox dhx coil yes I'm going with the medium trying to get more experience
with that sizing I appreciate how the size medium comes with a 780 millimeter wide bar just like I
prefer though they still only come with 150mm dropper posts with me being 5'10" I definitely
prefer something bigger I really like the tire set with an acid guy Max grip on the front and a
dhr2 Max Terra in the rear though I would prefer a stiffer casing than EXO plus Race Face Wheels
we got Shimano XT brakes XT derailleur and shifter all pretty decent stuff alright guys boost Master
here I'm out here in Squamish with Matt Bolton so I'm going to be testing out this new Rocky
Mountain altitude I'm pretty stoked we've got a ride nine chip here I'm actually deciding to
go in the middle position which should be about a 65 degree head tube angle I test wrote it when it
was in its most slack position and I'm not sure that I care for it so much because I was doing
a bit of pedal striking I really appreciate the adjustable geometry on these bikes nine
different positions for BB height and head angle as well as an option for a longer or shorter chain
stay length I'm gonna stay with the shorter chainstay length myself and we're gonna ride
some sweet trails out here there's a new trail called airplane mode you probably heard of it
so I haven't even written it yet so we're gonna ride that hit some jumps we're also going to do
some slab Trails Matt Bolton here is on his 2021 transition Patrol it's the mullet setup 29er front
27.5 rear looks pretty awesome we're about to ride in a trail called Cakewalk it was just rebuilt
in Spring of this year by a guy named Ted with dream wizard so I'm pretty hyped this is gonna
be awesome fresh work on this Trail why don't we ride it hitting up Cake Walk behind Matt here
remember the last time I rode this Trail was years ago so I honestly don't remember it like at all
it is pretty dry out uh these days
sweet oh yeah that is getting fun yeah
bike is feeling good
okay
sweet oh nice look at this sick
that is cool
ya the suspension on this bike is feeling great I love this Fork a lot
sick that was freaking cool we have an optional one here
I think I remember this pretty techy but it is nice and dry today actually I do
remember seeing this I'm down you just gotta don't want to slide off the end
nice
yeah right on we'll see what happens all right let's try this move looks pretty sick good
oh yeah yo
yeah dude coming up fast I was sick yeah get the little hairy yeah this Trail is so sweet
so you can follow his line here
we go yeah
okay
oh yo
hiker oh cool
yeah this place could really use uh some rain that is for sure
nice that was a cool Bridge
interesting so this is not open I guess uh shoot I remember these
jumps I don't remember the drop but yeah that's cool okay what is this
that's hilarious look at it oh wow that's cool so far this bike is feeling really comfortable
very intuitive everything is predictable and feels great it feels poppy enough for some
of these jumps too oh yeah there we go that was so sick yo but pretty soon we're gonna
try out an actual jump line and really see how this bike handles the air time
that was so fun dude that's so good classic love that one definitely could use some rain
but yeah so we're just gonna make our way out to uh airplane mode this time
sixth arms sick
whoops yo airplane mode that's sick everything's hand built it looks like a machine built
Trail it's all here yeah oh that's awesome I actually love that these guys did a great job
ready let's do it yeah okay
yo okay
foreign
that is cool
whoa oh boy yo oh that's a different drill too this is the old line sorry I got a
guy that was a lot of fun foreign okay let's uh try that part again
there's a bigger hip jump coming up first gonna take a look at that one
I feel like this bike can pop up pretty good
whoa look at all this what the
ah cool yeah sick that's actually super fun super good yeah yeah this looks great
yeah the speed we're coming in already felt good yeah it's kind of like that was
perfect yeah we could have hit it but I wanted you to see The Landings yeah
he calls this one the Cedars Palace yeah you can jump over the whole thing yeah looks like
it it's probably about 25 time nice yeah apart from here oh yeah you taste it too it's great
yeah all the way down there so it's sick it's like a week of building just in this one turn
oh [ __ ] okay
I definitely underestimated the speed for that one
okay so that was longer than it looks okay gotta go faster this time
all right okay
well at least I got the jump it's fun yeah it takes a little getting
used to I guess is this blind yeah okay let's try clearing that bridge
whoa there we go
that's fun stuff all right let's finish off airplane mode here
train it all up
oh
yeah so good so sick
whoa wow that's the most difficult part of the trail super fun dude because I'm looking
at all the geometry like this hedge of angle it is a little steeper than the patrol like
because I also demo wrote a nomad and that was very similar to the patrol geometry 64 head angle
this one's like 65. almost the same chain stay and like but I feel like but you got the ride 9
chips you can adjust it more right but it's like you can go a little bit longer reach with steeper
head to Bengal which I don't know if I care for at all but and then in the slackest position
just find it was a little too low yeah because otherwise the slackus is like 64.5 head tube
angle which I like but then if my pedals are too low I don't like that either so
so far bike is feeling great but one last thing I want to try out is some rock slabs Highway to
Hell is a short one with some sweet slabs and merges back onto hueso out in the Alice
Lake Trail Network I don't think I need gloves anyway here so I'm just gonna put those away
foreign
so sick I like that
well I'll jump into a slab nice that was pretty sick
oh
foreign
that's a good one
nice sick yes
yeah that was really fun yeah that's a great little connection and a pretty sick View foreign
I should mention it climbed really well as long as I wasn't in the lowest bottom bracket setting
that is so I didn't have to hit my pedals on anything I was very happy with how it performed
I stayed on my bike oh not there actually oops
we're so so fun
oh [ __ ] ouch hold up
ouch
well that really sucks I guess I was going too fast down that rock slab
and lost control in the loose dirt I had to pay light on my hand and then my ankle hurts
shoot that was not good yeah just going all too fast I definitely hurt my ankle
here I really hope it's not too bad I can barely walk on it I still have to
get down to my vehicle though so I hope I can make it down the rest of the trail
yeah that was all right I feel like I can put some weight on my tippy toes just not so much on the
heel although a couple parts I had to awkwardly walk down my ankle was swelling a bit it turns
out it was just a sprain I had a limp for a couple weeks but honestly I'm actually doing quite a bit
better now as for the bike I thought it was really solid I also love the paint job on this thing the
geometry is good and I definitely appreciate that ride 9 chip though ultimately I kind of wish I
could get a slightly slacker head tube angle while not lowering my bottom bracket so much though I
would also put 165 mil cranks if it was my own bike rather than the 170 that's on here otherwise
these size mediums are feeling pretty good for me like I said I want to get a size medium on my
patrol anyways or just get a different bike like a Rocky Mountain altitude or perhaps the Santa
Cruz Nomad like I rode last time what do you guys think of this bike do you own one or have
you ridden one I'll love to hear your thoughts in the comments below big thanks to the pros closet
for Lending me this bike and it's now time to return the bike back to them where you could
even buy this bike if you want as a certified pre-owned bike and by the way did you see that
video of me Demo riding the Santa Cruz Nomad if you haven't check it out here I wrote some
epic North Shore janky Trails it was tons of fun thanks everyone and I will see you guys next time
