Features
- RIDE-4™ adjustment system: Quickly fine-tune geometry and suspension with a single Allen key

- Fully enclosed internal routing: Allows for easy cable and hose installations, with allowance for moto-style brake setups
- Reach adjust headset: Fine tune your ride with center, +/- 5mm offset options
- Refined geometry: Rocky refined the reach, made the seat tube angle steeper, and lengthened the chainstays
- Total adjustability: Designed with adjustable frame features to suit all riders and riding styles, this is Rocky's most versatile platform
- Generous space for long dropper posts: Shorter seat tube lengths for increased dropper post fitment
