Presentation
Welcome to Rocky Mountain Bicycles, makers of some of the best bikes in creation. We’ve been perfecting our art here in Vancouver, B.C. for the past 27 years. Look closely at a Rocky Mountain Bicycle, there is more than what meets the eye. Hand-crafting bicycles in a process that has many steps and takes a significant amount of time. Take a look inside our Vancouver, BC offices and find out just how detailed and multi-faceted our bike building process is. We take a great deal of care when transforming tubes into beautifully finished, performance oriented bike frames. With our own CNC machines, master prototypers, and designers all in the same building, we offer a unique alternative to today’s bicycle enthusiast. From concept, to prototyping, wheel building to the final coat of paint, it’s all done right here. Take a look inside to find out more.
Patented Technology
When you develop leading edge technology, you protect it. Our commitment to our own R&D has led to several patents on suspension platforms and construction techniques.
RMB QA
Each step of the building process is documented within an ISO process and a record of who worked on it is kept to ensure manufacturing excellence.
Box-Tube Junction Technique
A Rocky patented technique where mitered (machine cut) tubes' non-contacting surface material is removed to create an exact fit (box junction) for a more precise, superior frame.
Size Specific Tubing
Each frame tube is designed with strength and shape characteristics in specific areas. As different frame sizes require different tube sizes, we engineer each tube specifically for each frame so as not to compromise a smaller frame with a cut version of a longer tube. One size does not fit all.
Perfect Build Integrity
Total Commitment approach to frame preparation. A perfectly finished frame comes from a perfectly prepared frame. It's the benefit of a hand built process.
Custom Bent Tubing
Tubes custom shaped specifically for each bike platform design to maximize ride characteristics and quality.
Custom Formed Tubing
Specifically shaped tubes including flaring, tapering, variable wall-thickness, bi-oval shape, etc. according to the unique requirements of each frame design in each platform.
Rocky Research & Design
Each frame in each platform is engineered and approved upon by our own R&D team.
Rocky Engineered Suspension
Patented suspension and geometry specifically designed from the ground up for the ultimate in riding performance.
Hand Crafted
Not built by robotic drones. Completely designed, assembled, and welded by highly skilled craftsmen to our unmatched standards.
Master Crafted
Only the best of the best are skilled enough to weld a High-end Scandium frame - it's the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the Rocky weld shop.
Custom Tuned Valving
The rear shocks is tuned to determine shaft speed by varying the shim sizes which control the flow of oil and thus controlling the damping. Each shock is tuned to each bike's precise linkage rates and leverage ratios to maximize frame performance for a more responsive, powerful ride.
Hand Masked
Hand-detailing process on both wet painted and powder coated frames that result in a spectacular Rocky only finish.
Wet Paint
In-house technique used on aluminum, scandium and carbon frames - a light-weight industry leading finish with endless creative possibilities.
Powder Coat
Environmentally friendly process of coating frames with electrostatically charged paint particles for an incredibly durable and long-lasting finish.
Wheeltech
Wheels built, laced, tuned, and stress tested in house for a stronger, longer-lasting wheel - the toughest in-house wheels on a production bike for the last 20 years.
RMB CNC
Three in-house Computer Numerical Control machines on which we build precision custom parts to a higher manufacturing standard specifically for our bikes.
Carbon
Extremely strong and light composite material used in the construction of several high performance Rocky frames.
