  • SAVE 25% - Rocky Mountain Vertex 50 Hardtail Mountain Bike


    29 June 2010

    CRC have the superb Rocky Mountain Vertex 50 Hardtail Bike knocked down to just £1120.00!

    Rocky Mountain Vertex 50 Hardtail Bike

    Race proven Sloping Top Tube Technology (ST3) design for maximum efficiency and control. A compact front end for more agility in tight singletrack. Increased standover height to help with unexpected dismounts. A greater separation between the top tube/seat tube and seat tube/seat stay welds for greater frame strength. Pear shaped top and down tubes for quick steering and handling. Down tube bend at head tube facilitates greater fork clearance and fork options. Diamond-shaped down tube increases pedal power transfer and acceleration. Hourglass-shaped head tube maximizes strength to weight ratio.

    FORM Technology:
    The heart of a bike is its frame. The geometry, the material, the feel, and the way it reacts under the rider are the very essence of the ride. That’s why we’ve introduced FORM™ – the design and manufacturing process of our high-performance frame tubing. Our philosophy behind FORM™ tubing is to push the limits of tube and frame design to create the frame’s unique riding feel.

    • Engineered Ride Quality: FORM™ tubing is a line of high-performance tubes designed to elevate the superior ride quality for which Rocky Mountain Bicycles are known. Innovative design: With 25 years of innovation, we continue to push the boundaries of bicycle design. FORM™ tubing is the exciting new frontier of our creativity.
    • Attention to detail: Every detail in a FORM™ tube set is carefully engineered and has a purpose: from the slightest variations in shape, to wall thickness, tapers, flares and bends.
    • Uncompromised quality: FORM™ tube sets are manufactured with premium materials and delivered by the best suppliers in the industry to meet Rocky Mountain’s strict requirements.
