Using only top quality carbon fiber and partnering with the best carbon specialists in the world, Rocky Mountain engineers, designs, and tests all of their carbon frames in house. The carbon frames feature monocoque construction which is stronger than a tube-to-tube or lugged design and which also keeps the weight extremely low.
Different carbon layups and weaves were chosen to fine tune the ride for different applications. For instance, 24 ton modulus carbon was used for Altitude RSL and Vertex RSL 50 and RSL 70 and 40 ton carbon for the Vertex RSL Team.
