2003 Rocky Mountain ETS-x30 Red 19 Inch

Rocky Mountain Bicycles are HANDBUILT in Vancouver, British Columbia. Those proud Canadians produce equipment intended for the toughest mountain bike conditions. The bikes are designed to outperform and outlast other so-called mountain bikes. The EASTON RAD tube set used on this and nearly all of Rocky Mountain’s frames is second to none when it comes to strength and weight. Rocky also pioneered the sloping top tube concept (ST3), making their bikes climb like mountain goats yet descend with confidence.

The ETS (Energy Transfer System) is a FORMULA ONE inspired full suspension marvel designed to return energy to forward motion as the shock rebounds. It is easily adjustable from 3.5 to 4.5 inches of rear wheel travel. Rocky Mountain even manufactures the rear suspension linkage parts in-house to the most exacting standards. This suspension platform has been compared to the VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) concept used by Santa Cruz and the critics agree. “It is a toss-up.” If you want a bike for 24 hour racing, cross country racing, freeriding or just curb attacking fun, this one is for you. With suspension that feels this good, you’ll never have to pick the smooth line again.
