THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN STORY
SINCE 1981
Rocky Mountain has been building bicycles in Vancouver BC, Canada since 1981. In that time we have developed a reputation
for quality and innovation. We are proud of our work, and our customers are proud to own the bikes we make.
Rocky Mountain was born in 1978 in the basement of a bike shop in the heart of Vancouver. The employees there realized
that there was huge demand for high quality mountain bikes, so they began importing frames from California for their
customers. Soon they learned that despite the high quality of the imported frames, the technically demanding Vancouver
trails called for a different geometry than what was offered. To meet the exploding demand, they formed Rocky Mountain
Bicycles and began importing and manufacturing frames to their exact specifications. The early years of Rocky Mountain
served as an incubator for the west coast mountain bike industry, with a handful of employees branching off to start several
internationally successful bike companies.
Rocky Mountain has come a long way since its modest beginning, but its core values have never changed. These core
values are the reason Rocky Mountain bikes are as sought after today as they were in 1981.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
CONCEPT
TO
CREATION
CREATION PROCESS
All Rocky Mountain bikes are first prototyped in our Vancouver
B.C. location. From the original concept meeting, to 3D models,
to our master framebuilders cutting the tubes and cnc’ing the
parts, the entire process takes place under one roof.
UNDER ONE ROOF
Having the ability to turn ideas into reality in a matter
of days significantly speeds up product development,
because we’re never at the mercy of a vendor’s lead time
– we can do everything ourselves in house. It’s important
to know every tiny detail about the bikes we make, and
without building them first for ourselves, we couldn’t.
BIKES MADE BY RIDERS
At Rocky Mountain we ride and test our bikes in the harshest conditions imaginable. It is these conditions that have
spawned the bicycles in our line up. British Columbia has the most diverse riding conditions in the world. In four hours
one can go from the temperate rain forest of the coast, crossing huge mountains and glacial fed rivers to the deserts
of the interior. The riding possibilities here are endless; long climbs, fast fire road descents, twisty singletrack, technical
rock and root sections, log rides and big drops. The terrain is demanding at the best of times, mind boggling and truly
scary at the worst. It is the desire to ride this terrain that has fuelled our passion to build bikes. It is this terrain that has
inspired our innovation, to create and build the best product possible.
Our staff members meet to ride in groups several times a week. Some of our staff group-rides would challenge the most
seasoned pros - it goes with the territory and results in the bikes that we design and build. There is a rich tradition of
world-class riders who have ridden Rocky Mountain bikes to victory and in the case of our freeriders, to our amazement.
Our association with these riders has resulted in the bicycles we build.
Since the early 1990’s we have been at the forefront of cross-country racing with pioneer riders like Alison Sydor, Andreas
Hestler, Chrissy Redden, and Bruce Spicer. The highlights of our XC racing are certainly Marie-Helene Premont’s silver
medal at the Athens Olympics and her 2008 UCI World Cup overall title. Our newest XC superstar Geoff Kabush has set
the record for most US National Series race wins. Rocky Mountain has dominated mountain bike stage racing for the
past decade with riders such as Lesley Tomlinson, Andreas Hestler, Alison Sydor, Pia Sundstedt, and Karl Platt. We have
won every major stage race in the world.
In 2009 Rocky Mountain returned to World Cup downhill competition with the Maxxis-Rocky Mountain team. Sabrina Jonnier
has already piloted our prototype Flatline World Cup to six World Cup wins this season. In 2009 Rocky Mountain athletes
raced more days in more countries than any other mountain bike team in the world.
Our athletes were the first true freeriders. Our legendary Frorider team of Wade Simmons, Richie Schley, and Brett Tippie
changed the sport forever with their new and mindblowing riding style. We continue to push the limits of gravity riding with
new talent, but remain extremely fortunate to have an icon like Wade Simmons riding and helping us develop our bikes.
ENGINEERS WHO RIDE
Not only does Rocky Mountain have a large engineering
department, but ours is staffed with experienced senior
engineers and designers who all RIDE. They know what
matters both on the computer and on the trail.
BUILDING WINNERS
Our professional athletes are key in our bike development
process. It’s with their help that we can refine our designs
and produce bikes that are competitive at the highest level.
Our 2009 launch of Vertex RSL was successful due to the input
we received from our athletes like Marie-Helene Premont and
Alison Sydor. For the 2009 season we developed the Flatline
WC Prototype for Sabrina Jonnier and the Maxxis-Rocky
Mountain team and it has since won more world cups than
any other brand. The Team’s feedback was instrumental for
us to launch the Flatline World Cup for 2010.

LOVE THE RIDE.
