Rocky Mountain is most famous for making some of the finest mountain
bikes in the world for over thirty years, but we’ve been making great
road and urban bikes just as long. We started way back in 1981 with
our Turbo and Giro road models because we identified ways we could
improve on the status quo. It’s a formula that’s been magic ever since
with all of the bikes we make. Under riders ranging from Olympians to
weekend warriors, each of our pavement bikes has a unique purpose and
story. Since day one our goal has been to make the best bicycles in the
world, and we’re sure that once you’ve ridden a Rocky Mountain you’ll
Love the Ride.

With a brand new super high modulus carbon frame and
updated race geometry, there’s a lot to say about the
2013 Solo RSL. Using only the best quality carbon fiber
in a high-density layup, the Solo RSL is lighter and stiffer
than ever. While laterally stiff, the Solo RSL’s slender seat
stays and 27.2mm seatpost give the vertical compliance
required on epic rides and rough pavement. Whether
you’re training to be the next Giro d’Italia superstar, or
your crush your local criterium, the Solo RSL will help you
get there.

No matter what kind of bike, nothing matters more
than great fit. With a slightly longer wheelbase and a
more upright position than our Solo RSL, the Prestige’s
Performance Fondo Geometry delivers race performance
and technology to the Fondo rider. In addition, we made
vertical compliance a top priority with the Prestige; its
super slender seat stays and 27.2mm seat post smooth
out the roughest mountain roads.

SOLO CYCLOCROSSNothing attracts rain like a ‘cross race. That’s why our 2013 Solo CX and Solo CXR bikes come with disc brakes only. As if ‘cross wasn’t already silly amounts of fun, now you can rip descents faster and brake later than your competition. Add that to the long list of carefully considered ‘cross-specific features and you get two of the best riding cyclocross bikes out there.

RCYou don’t need to sacrifice speed for comfort with our RC series of bikes. With the light weight and gearing of a road bike and the geometry and flat handlebar of an urban bike, you get the best of both worlds. So, whether you’re drafting cars at 35 km/h on your way to work (not recommended !), or ripping around the countryside on the weekend, the RC won’t slow you down.

We love road racing and that’s why we’ve partnered with the Tour de Beauce since the beginning in 1985. The Tour de Beauce is one of the premiere road stage races in North America and features some of the best local and international racers on the roads near our head office in St-Georges de Beauce, Quebec. Over the years, many Rocky Mountain employees and team riders have battled it out with the best in the world on our own home turf.
From beautiful countryside roads, to historic Quebec City streets, to the brutally difficult Mont Megantic climb, the Tour de Beauce exemplifies everything that a great race should be.

The Feeling of FreedomSport is my attitude to life and I have had the chance to experience
a lot of different sports during my career. I started with cross
country skiing – my first “real” love – before I discovered road
biking.
Is there anything better than cruising though the streets in
summer with a road bike, tasting the sweat mixed with dust
and feeling the heat reflecting by the asphalt? It’s the feeling of
freedom - not caught up in traffic, no traffic jams and no speed
limits. There is no better way to experience your surroundings;
a bike lets you get out and see things you would never see by car
or on foot.
The Olympic Games are the pinnacle for road cycling. The
qualification criteria for participating at the games is really hard.
Just making the qualification is a huge accomplishment for any
athlete, and I call myself lucky to be participating again at these
Games.
On that special day in London with my Rocky Mountain Solo RSL,
I will try to reflect with gratitude on the last 20 years I have
experienced on both road and mountain bikes. I will try to enjoy
every moment of the race and give my best.
