Details

Charge harder. Hold bigger lines. Go faster.

Unlock new levels of confidence with the Altitude. Every feature, trail, and line is The new standard in enduro capability and confidence.

Race circuits or Sunday Shreds, the Altitude has you covered. Purpose-built and race-proven, it’s the ultimate enduro weapon for demolishing steep trails and making every session faster. Sure, total enduro capability translates nicely to podiums. But it also means bigger and more committing weekend rides for the rest of us. With so much capability in your corner, it makes you want to push limits, climb faster, and get better.

What sets the Altitude apart

Unapologetically enduro focused geometry

Enduro lives at Altitude—so we cut zero corners in making a purpose-built, 100% committed Enduro bike. Designed to position the rider directly over the front end for unyielding control, expect the Altitude to make short work of anything and everything—and to shave every second possible while doing it.


Enduro greatness for every rider

Any size fits the Altitude. That’s why we designed the Altitude in five distinct frame sizes. It’s not simply making it bigger or smaller—it’s tweaking the geometry and setup to match the nuances of a larger or smaller frame. Then, two wheel sizes ensure every rider can find the perfect Altitude to shred.


Any trail. Any Altitude.

Every trail is at Altutide’s level. Whatever gets thrown your way, our RIDE-9 adjustment system and 2-position rear axle allows you to adjust your geometry for on the fastest possible setup for the trail ahead.

Size Specific Tune ensures that riders of all sizes get the right balance of small-bump compliance, mid-stroke support, and end-stroke progressiveness. Our design team does custom shock tunes based on real world field testing, and adjusts each tune for specific frame sizes.

The RIDE-9 adjustment system allows riders to quickly fine-tune their geometry and suspension with a pair of Allen keys. Nine configurations are possible thanks to two interlocking chips.

Adjust your RIDE-9 position for geometry before considering suspension effects, or variables like air pressure and shock compression. Make gradual, incremental changes, take notes, and be methodical. Don’t adjust in a hurry before a big ride. Take your time and enjoy the process. 

Smoothlink suspension is efficient yet supple when you’re on the pedals and across a wide range of gears. It features a controlled end-stroke and a rate-curve that feels more capable than the travel would suggest. This four-bar suspension design philosophy is centred on ride characteristics; each bike platform we develop balances variables like anti-squat, axle path, chain growth, rate curve, anti-rise, etc. to achieve the legendary Rocky Mountain ride feel.

Smoothwall carbon uses one of the world’s most sophisticated carbon processes to deliver industry leading stiffness-to-weight, ride quality, and durability. We eliminate excess resin and fibers by using rigid internal molds instead of traditional air bladders. We then utilize different types of carbon in specific frame areas to maximize stiffness and impact resistance while minimizing overall weight.
