Rocky Mountain Altitude 750 2015 - Weight?

Thunderchief

Hi All

I'm looking at buying a RM Altitude 750, and I'm struggling to find anywhere that lists the weight, does anyone know this? It will be an extra large frame but, It doesn't have to be an exact figure, just a general guide. I know the full carbon 799 is supposed to be very light, but I don't have 8 grand! :shock:

If any one has any experience with this bike (Altitudes in general) I'd love to hear them.

Thanks

Simon.

You could ask whoever you are buying it off to weigh it.

Review of the 2013 750 mentions 30.2lbs - http://www.bikemag.com/gear/exclusive-2013-bible-review-rocky-mountain-altitude-750/

Why is this a factor though? Sure you don't want your trail bike to weigh more than a DH bike from 2005 but a test ride on it will tell you more than a pair of scales.

Claimed weights from manufacturers are completely meaningless anyway, about as truthful as half the bikes in the Your Mountain Bikes section of this forum.

Cool thanks, funny thing is I read that review, just didn't see the weight, doh!

Weight is not a big thing, I just wanted to know a ball park, 30lbs means it should be similar or lighter than my current bike, so that's cool.

Cheers.
