2012 INTRODUCTION

ROCKY MOUNTAIN INTRODUCTION Boy is it fun to work at Rocky Mountain these days. Starting with the launch of Altitude and Vertex RSL in 2009, then Flatline World Cup, Vertex 29 and Altitude 29 in 2010, Element RSL and MSL and Slayer in 2011, and now Element 26 and 29 and new Vertex RSL for 2012, the Rocky Mountain renaissance is in full swing. One home run after another, we re back on top and having a ton of fun. It was this same excitement that the original founders of Rocky Mountain felt in 1981 when they started the brand in the basement of a Vancouver, B.C. bike shop. The sport of mountain biking was still in its infancy, but they already knew they could produce better bikes for tough, technical West Coast singletrack. They started by sourcing frames to their exact specifications and in no time, they were a full-fledged bike company at the forefront of technology and making the best bikes on the market. The rugged, technical, and usually wet trails in our Vancouver backyard continue to be the proving ground for all of our bikes, from Vertex RSL to Flatline WC. If they can excel here, they can excel anywhere. Our world-class roster of athletes including Wade Simmons, Geoff Kabush, Andreas Hestler, Marie-Hélène Prémont, Thomas Vanderham, Sabrina Jonnier and Geoff Gulevich inspire us to make bikes they can win on. Thirty-one years later, we re a bit bigger, but we still think and work like a small company. We still put technology and quality ahead of volume and price and we still leave the office early sometimes to ride together.

R&D When Rocky Mountain first started out making mountain bikes, they had to be handcrafted because that was the only way to ensure that the workmanship was up to the demands of the terrain in our hometown of Vancouver, Canada. Over the years, technology and design have evolved and so, too, have our demands: now bikes have to be stronger, lighter, and more fun to ride than ever. One thing that hasn t changed is our commitment to designing and building the best bikes on the planet, and to do that, we employ a team of engineers and conduct all of our R&D right here in Vancouver, where it all started 30 years ago. Not only does this keep us in touch with the needs of the world s strongest technical riders and most progressive trails, but it also allows us to cycle through more versions of a design before it is given the green light. Having a full-scale R&D and prototype facility right here under our roof means that a tweak or suggested change from one of our world class racers or freeriders can be incorporated into a revised prototype and back on the trail for testing within days. Because as much as computers have become a huge part of bike design, nothing beats the feedback we can gather when the tires hit the dirt. We use our own test equipment in the Vancouver facility to confirm results from the factory. Industry standards are not enough for us. Ours are more demanding. Rocky Mountain Bicycles. Designed and proven in Vancouver, British Columbia. Always. Prototypes and mules are welded in Vancouver, and sometimes we build frames for our athletes there, too.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES SmoothLink Our patented SmoothLink Suspension features minimal pedal feedback so you get a smoother pedal stroke, especially on uphill climbs. How does it work? By placing the rear pivot above the rear hub axle, we keep the average chain torque line parallel to the lower link (the line between main pivot and rear pivot) at all points of travel. THIS is the key to bob-free suspension, since the chain tension cannot act on the suspension. SmoothLink is featured on our complete line of Elements, Altitudes, and Slayers. ABC TM Pivots Our patent pending Angular Bushing Concept (ABC) pivots represent a paradigm shift in high performance suspension linkage. ABC pivots consist of an angular contact polymer bushing which rotates on a tapered alloy pivot. By carefully controlling the tolerance of these pieces, we are able to specify a torque value on the pivot and can eliminate binding, which has been impossible until now. The more you tighten a typical bushing system, the more the pivot will bind. Not so with ABC Pivots. And get this; they re lighter, more durable, and laterally stiffer than a cartridge bearing. On the Element we saved 120 grams by switching to ABC pivots while increasing rear end pivot stiffness by 105 percent. Yes, you read that correctly; ABC pivots are 105% stiffer than a sealed cartridge bearing. Plus, they need almost no maintenance just clean the contact surfaces from time to time. It s been a year since we unveiled this new pivot technology and the proof is in the pedals. Having literally abused our Elements in North Shore rain and mud for the last year, we re definitely riding more and wrenching less. ABC Pivots are used in 6 locations on the Element (4 on Element 29), saving 20g per location for a total weight savings of 120 grams over conventional cartridge bearings. ABC TM PIVOT ASSEMBLY DETAIL SMOOTHWALL TECHNOLOGY AS SEEN IN THE NEW VERTEX RSL AND ELEMENT RSL & MSL BB CLUSTER In 2011, we unveiled SmoothWall construction to the world with the introduction of the Element RSL, and since then it has won unanimous praise for its incredibly light weight and superior stiffness. For 2012, we re introducing a new Vertex RSL featuring SmoothWall construction, bringing our class-leading strength and stiffness to weight ratios to our flagship race hardtail line. SmoothWall construction is achieved by sculpting the inner surface of the frame as carefully as the outer, with the help of an inner mold, as opposed to the traditional air bladder. This results in no excess resin, fibers, or filler, meaning no stress risers or extra weight. The most important characteristic of SmoothWall technology is that it enables us to construct frames with the highest carbon layup density. SmoothWall s super high fiber to resin ratio with maximum compression of the pre-preg carbon layers results in the lightest and stiffest construction possible. At Rocky Mountain, we ve always been at the forefront of mountain bike geometry. In fact, it was the need for geometry better suited to the rugged terrain that we call home that inspired the very first Rocky Mountain Bicycles to be built in the first place. Since the first sloping top tubes that have become the norm throughout the industry, Rocky geometry has always been both progressive and influential. StraightUp. Our groundbreaking StraightUp geometry was met with skepticism when it was first introduced on the Altitude in 2009, but since then, it s changed the way the industry looks at full suspension bike geometry. Now, imitators abound. With a 75 (Slayer) or 76 (Altitude) degree seat angle, StraightUp geometry puts the rider into the perfect pedaling position once sagged into the suspension travel. Just because a bike has 165mm of travel (as Slayer does) doesn t mean the rider should be wallowing over the rear wheel once sagged. Combined with our SmoothLink suspension technology, Altitude and Slayer literally set the standard for climbing prowess among trail and all-mountain bikes. STRAIGHTUP GEOMETRY AS DEMONSTRATED ON SLAYER STRAIGHTUP TM 75 0 THE COMPETITIONH THE VERTEX RSL BB CLUSTER CROSS-SECTION SHOWS SMOOTHWALL TM AT ITS BEST. RTC TM 29 When we began the 2012 Vertex RSL and Element 29 projects, we knew we could improve on the status quo of 29er race geometry. We tested countless geometry configurations with our team racers and quickly zeroed in on what we believe is the perfect race geometry for a variety of terrain. Vertex RSL and Element 29 share similar geometry, but differ slightly in order to adjust for the fact that one is a hardtail and one is a full suspension bike. The key characteristics are: Super short wheelbase and chain stay length The myth that a 29er can t handle technical terrain ends here. Element 29 and Vertex RSL shred the tightest and most technical race courses. Less BB drop We raised the BB slightly over our previous 29 wheel bikes. While minimizing pedal strikes, this also allowed us to further tuck in the rear wheel, which helps lift the front end and get weight over the rear wheel, making our new 29ers more maneuverable in tight spots. ABC PIVOT LOCATIONS AS SEEN ON THE ALL NEW ELEMENT 50 Shortened top tubes We reigned in the TT lengths to give the rider a more natural, 26 bike feel with more maneuverability. 70.6 (Element) and 70.25 (Vertex RSL) degree head tube Head tube angles on 29ers vary widely, so we experimented during the prototype process. Our riders unanimously concluded that the numbers we ended up with delivered the perfect balance of stability and agility for XC bikes made to rip. Wider fit range Our revised geometry now fits riders from 5 3 to 6 6. * Complete geometry tables for all of our bikes can be found on page 45. KEY TECHNOLOGIES KEY TECHNOLOGIES 6

With Element RSL (98mm) and MSL (120mm), we ve created two ultimate race bikes by consulting closely with our World Cup athletes and by developing technologies like our patented ABC pivots and SmoothWall carbon fiber construction. Super stiff and surprisingly rugged, Element RSL and MSL prove that a featherweight race bike can descend like a trail bike. ELEMENT RSL & MSL FEATURES LIGHT AND STIFF Element RSL leads the industry in stiffness to weight. Total frame weight is 2000g (incl. shock), with a 52% increase in stiffness to weight over its predecessor. No XC race bike has a better stiffness to weight ratio than Element RSL.

While remaining relatively unchanged, it won races and put smiles on the faces of mountain bikers all over the world for the next 14 years. It was only natural to follow up Element RSL and MSL with a new aluminum Element in both 26- and 29-inch wheels for 2012. The 2012 Element 26 (120mm rear travel) and Element 29 (95mm rear travel) share many of the same technologies of Element RSL and MSL, and the result is two bikes that change the alloy cross country mountain bike game. Cross Country means more now. FS CROSS COUNTRY - 29 ELEMENT 26 & 29 FEATURES SMOOTHLINK SUSPENSION Our proven and patented SmoothLink suspension system sets the standard for pedaling efficiency.

Our all-new 2012 Vertex RSL represents the culmination of 30 years of racing at the highest level and the most advanced composite technology in the industry. And it s a 29er. That s right, the benefits of the bigger wheel are simply undeniable and that s why our new flagship race hard tail is only available with 29 wheels. ALL NEW RTC 29 GEOMETRY Our all new RTC 29 geometry improves on the status quo of 29er geometry, providing what we believe is the perfect race geometry for a variety of terrain. Super short chain stays and wheelbases, shortened top tubes, 70.25º head angle and slightly higher BB than in the past help make our Vertex RSL more maneuverable, capable and responsive than other 29 race hardtails out there. CROSS COUNTRY VERTEX RSL FEATURES CUSTOM ROCKY MOUNTAIN FORM SMOOTHWALL CONSTRUCTION 100% designed, engineered and tested in house by our R&D team to ensure the lightest, stiffest frame and the best ride quality.

CUSTOM FORM SEATSTAY TUBING Custom S-bend seatstays are circular at the seat tube junction and flare to a rectangular shape at the dropout. Circular shaped tubes are best when strength is required in all planes and rectangular tube shapes at the dropouts are best for fatigue strength. VERTEX FEATURES BB92 By using a BB92 bottom bracket shell, we are able to increase the size of the down tube / seat tube junction, which increases stiffness without adding weight. Similarly, the new larger diameter head tube on Vertex allows for larger junctions with the top tube and down tube, further increasing stiffness and strength. TUBE SHAPES The top tube and the down tube have wide flat surfaces to increase strength in the principal stress areas and also to have a smooth joint at the S-BEND SEATSTAYS top and bottom to improve the fatigue strength. To help absorb small frequency vibrations before they hit the rider, reducing rider fatigue. CROSS COUNTRY CROSS COUNTRY 20

RMB GOES TO CHILE For more than 10 years, I ve had the opportunity to represent Rocky Mountain Bicycles travelling to many beautiful places attending bike festivals and filming MTB movie segments. Now, further along in my career, there is less of the death defying stunts and more of the pleasurable adventures. When you combine good friends, great trails and like-minded locals, you reach a pinnacle in life. Chile, last November was just this. We were a motley crew of professional riders, photographers and Rocky Mountain employees on a South American single-track seeking adventure. Guided by shredding locals, we were delivered the goods : jungle trails, Andes high alpine descents and varied volcanic topography like lava flows and pumice rock were all part of the mix. Trips like these are a great way to bring people of different walks of life together with a common passion. - Wade Simmons, MTB HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE 22 WADE SIMMONS CHILE TRIP PHOTO : CHRIS CHRISTIE - LOCATION : LA PARVA, CHILE - RIDER : WADE SIMMONS

If it is, then look no further than Slayer. Never has a bike with this much travel pedaled so well and never has such an efficient climbing bike descended so well. With Rocky Mountain pioneered StraightUp geometry featuring its 75 degree seat angle, the rider is always in the perfect pedaling position for maximum power on the climbs. With its 66.5 degree head tube angle and bottomless SmoothLink Suspension, nothing gets in Slayer s way when things get gnarly. STRAIGHT-UP GEOMETRY Never has an all-mountain bike climbed this well thanks to Slayer s 75 degree seat tube angle. SLAYER FEATURES SHIMANO E-THRU 142 X 12MM REAR AXLE Shimano s new rear axle system addresses the shortcomings of traditional through axle systems. Hub end caps self-align into machined grooves in the dropouts. No more struggling to align the hub perfectly in the frame to insert the axle. E-Thru does it for you. E-TYPE FRONT DERAILLEUR By using an E-Type front derailleur mounted on the chainstay, we were able to produce the lightest and stiffest chainstay possible. By reducing the size of the envelope the chain moves in, the E-type system provides more accurate shifting performance. Mounted on the front derailleur is a custom anti chain-drop plate which makes a jammed chain a thing of the past. SMOOTHLINK SUSPENSION Our proven and patented SmoothLink suspension system sets the standard for pedaling efficiency. ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT SEATPOST CABLE ROUTING Because riding full seat height on gnarly terrain can be a scary proposition, we included cable guides for adjustable height seatposts.

VANDERHAM RETURNS I get to call TV The Kid for I have been fortunate to shoot him on his bike since he was 13. Just a kid. But, more than that, he was homegrown Canadian talent that shredded on his bike. He is one of those riders who you are proud to have representing the evolution of the freeride movement that e xploded out of Vancouver. He was a key c omponent in the evolution of where it is today. Through that evolution, I have been very fortunate to have been able to take many of the photos that show the progression of the sport. He has amazing talent on the bicycle and I really enjoy the challenge of capturing that in a photograph. Thomas Vanderham s name is on more of my nugs than any other rider. Rocky Mountain is the name on his bike in the majority of those photos and it is damn good to see it on his bike again. Good homegrown talent riding some good homegrown product. Stoked to see where the kid and his Rocky take us for the next ten years... THOMAS VANDERHAM 38 - Sterling Lorence THOMAS VANDERHAM

Rider : Nicolas Quéré Location : TRIBE 10,000 Val d Allos, France Photo : www.artreflex-photo.fr Location : BC Bike Race Photo : Dave Silver THE CHANGING FACE OF RACING Super D racing may be the new black in North America, but it owes its roots to the DH marathon and Enduro Series that have been taking place in Europe for the last 20 years. Rocky has made bikes for years that shred long downhills but are also capable of climbing with the best of em. The Slayer fits the bill perfectly for Enduro Series riders like Alex Balaud and Nicolas Quéré: to race in these conditions it must have well-balanced handling and suspension, pedal efficiently, and be lightweight. Rocky s ability to bring all of these characteristics together has made it the winningest brand in Europe in the DH Marathon category. If you like the idea of hour long descents with punchy climbs and long pedaling sections, you can be sure that Rocky s 10+ years of crafting bikes that win these races will benefit you, too. BC Bike Race is known as the ultimate singletrack experience for good reason. For mountain bikers from over 30 countries, it has been like a dream come true. From Olympians like Geoff Kabush to everyday cycling enthusiasts, hosting each and every one of the participants in our B.C. backyard is a pleasure. Seeing the grins of enjoyment and the tears of triumph upon completion make all the long hours of preparation work well worth it. What could be more natural at the end of a racing career than helping to put on your own big show? - Andreas Hestler, Olympian, Rocky Mountain Ambassador, BC Bike Race co-founder Fred Glo, France Founder, Tribe Enduro Series INDURO DH BC BIKE RACE 40
