This process allowed us to incorporate desirable frame features, increase durability, and maintain the ride performance we are known for. Our standard Smoothwall layup that can be found on the Vertex Carbon 70 and Vertex Carbon 50 remains industry leading, without resorting to cost cutting by integrating fiberglass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1401689297901847343size-16\" lang=\"x-size-16\"><strong>Rocky Mountain ride quality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our Vertex retains all the ride DNA that makes Rocky Mountain Bicycles known for. We\u2019ve focused on XC performance for flat out speed but have not made compromises on ride quality, keeping our bikes fun when out on the trail. We\u2019ve lengthened the reach, slackened the head angle, and shortened the wheelbase, maintaining rear end compliance and a comfortable ride.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1401689297901847343size-16\" lang=\"x-size-16\"><strong>Technical Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Max tire clearance is 29 x 2.3 and 27.5 x 2.8<\/li>\n<li>Lighter, tooled rear axle with an updated axle nut for more intuitive assembly<\/li>\n<li>Improved cable management including large head tube and down tube access ports, full-length shift housing, and internally routed shift housing and brake lines the front triangle<\/li>\n<li>Features both Di2 and dropper post compatibility, simultaneously<\/li>\n<li>27.2 mm seatpost allows for extra ride comfort while seated.
