Rocky Mountain Bikes For The Extreme Biking Ecstasy

By: Robert Sheehan Home |


Want to jive with a bike through the treacherous trails of the mountains? Get on Rocky Mountain bikes and be ready for an electrifying ride! Rocky bikes are exceptional with a zing of difference. But the offerings of Rocky encompass the desires and needs of myriad off road cyclists

The World Of Rocky Mountain Bike

Rocky bikes are embossed with innovation, quality and value with exceptional design, fabrication, CNC-machining, paint and pre-assembly done in-house in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Rocky mountain bike is one of the leaders who realized that future biking is going to rely heavily on full suspension. They are the one who bought out the 3D Link multi-pivot linkage design years ago. There were bikes for huge downhill travel and free ride bikes. The want was of middle one, a lightweight design for more travel.

ETSX Or Energy Transfer System

The quest ended with ETSX. This is a featherweight package weighing 12.9 kilograms for the 19 inch size and literally you can do ANYTHING with this bike.

This is geared with a double A-arm design, which as per the claim of Rocky Mountain is derived from Formula 1 racecar suspension. The design is beautiful with light and small suspension components. The main pivot point lies above the crank and just in front of the seat tube.

Moreover, there is really no chain stay, which can get in the way of the drive train. Sealed bearings at all of the pivots make the construction superb. By and large the rear wheel stays firmly planted onto the ground and the extra special traction is smooth under all conditions. Now great news! You can flip a quick release and alter the travel from 3.5 to 4.5 inches for a good ride in rough terrains for long travels and for an easy climb to the top of the mountain.

Some Other Specialties Of ETSX

1.The frame is prepared with Easton Bi-Oval RAD tubing
2.The welding is rock solid and big
3.The Fox Float RLC front fork has a very efficient lever on top of the right fork leg to control the spring tension
4.Two bottle mounts, one above and one below the down tube are there

The Part Mix Is Scrumptious. The List Goes Like This

1.Shimano 515 clipless pedals
2.The hubs, cranks, disc brakes, shifters and front derailleur are from Shimano XT
3.Thermo SP headset and Deus stem
4.Handlebar from favorite Easton Carbon Monkey Lite
5.Tires are from marvelous Hutchinson Mosquito
6.Wheelset is Rockies in house built Wheeltech, which includes Mavic X223 Disc rims, and DT spokes

At present, ETSX has three models.

Finding The Right Bike

Size does matter! And the best way to get the perfect size is testing several sizes in person at a Rocky Mountain bike dealer.

Warranty Coverage On Rocky Mountain Bike

Read the owners manual carefully. The shop from where you bought the bike will provide with initial information. You can also check out the Warranty Inquiries section in the website of Rocky Mountain Bicycles to get detailed info on warranties and guarantees.

Say goodbye to a bland life. Say hello to a daring journey on a sturdy beast, the Rocky mountain bike.
