I also flipped the stem for a slight negative rise, just to get the most cross-country configuration possible. To do this, I set the chip in the fully rearmost position. Initial setup: Masquerading as an XC BikeĪgain, I thought I’d start out the test with the Ride-9 chip with the highest BB and steepest head angle possible. As it turned out, the miles just ticked away and I thought less and less about the nuances of the bike and just enjoyed it for what it was. Being a 29er snob, there’s only a handful of wagon wheel bikes with that amount of travel, so dropping to 27.5’s should be the perfect mix of travel and wheel size. Honestly, I haven’t ridden a bike with this much travel in quite some time. Heading into this review, I had to keep an open mind. Either way, the Altitude 770 is built for aggressive riding, but won’t back down from any climb. With 150mm travel, front and rear, the Altitude sits squarely in the market formerly called all-mountain, but is now called enduro. Now in its third year, the Altitude 770 MSL is built around the Ride-9 chip that allows the rider to personalize the feel of the bike based on their weight, terrain and riding preferences.
