Tell us about your bike

I ride a Rocky Mountain Altitude C70. It's a great all round bike with 27.5" wheels and climbs and descends amazingly with its 160mm front and 150mm rear travel. It is a fully carbon frame so is light and easy to control. This bike feels amazing no matter what you do and I would highly recommend.

Why do you like this bike?

I love just how easy it is to control and have fun with. It's great for technical trails but also flows like nothing else!

What upgrades have you made or want to make?

I currently have not made any upgrades but would like to upgrade the drive chain to a 12 speed Shimano XT system and also put some 4 piston brakes on. I'm also looking at getting a custom paint for it to really make it 1 of a kind...

What's your favourite ride ever?

Every ride. As long as im behind the bars im happy.
