Rocky Mountain make the Altitude MX Mount available, allowing Altitude and Altitude Powerplay 29' owners to run a mullet configuration
Rocky Mountain Bikes has released an MX Mount for its Altitude Enduro MTB and Altitude Powerplay eMTB, allowing owners of current carbon 29″ models to switch to a mullet setup. The brand tells us that the MX Mount will allow you to corner faster, and ride more playfully, all while giving you a bit more clearance when you’re behind the saddle on a steep, technical line. Their Pro Enduro Racer, ALN, agrees with that sentiment, choosing to run her Altitude Carbon in the mullet configuration.
Switching out the stock shock mount for the MX Mount increases the Altitude’s rear wheel travel, concomitantly lowering the rate curve. Overall progression drops from 40.3% to 36.1%. Rocky Mountain tells us you might have to increase shock pressure or, if you run a coil shock, switch out your coil for one with a higher spring rate in order to achieve proper sag and suspension feel.
“I like to bring a creative approach to the trails, search for alternate lines, look for things to double up. Ultimately, I like the extra clearance from running my Altitude with mixed wheel sizes.”As we saw on the Altitude, switching out the stock shock mount for the MX Mount on the Altitude Powerplay eMTB increases rear travel, while also altering the leverage curve, reducing overall progression from 45.5% to 43.4%.
The Altitude PowerPlay has a 4-position geometry and leverage curve altering flip-chip, and all four positions are compatible with the MX Mount.Hit up Rocky Mountain or your local dealer for more information on pricing & availability.
