The heart of a bike is its frame. The geometry, the material, the feel, and the way it reacts under the rider are the very essence of their high-performance frame tubing. The philosophy behind FORM™ tubing is to push the limits of tube and frame design to create the frame’s unique riding feel.
Combined with their Sloping Top Tube Technology (ST3) frame layout, Rocky creates a compact front end, giving increased agility in tight turning singletrack while providing increased stiffness for greater control in all conditions. It’s also bomber construction: with a greater separation between the top tube/seat tube and seat tube/seat stay welds, frame stress is distributed over a larger area of the seat tube. Originated by Rocky Mountain and copied by others, ST3 delivers a better handling, stronger frame – the ride of a lifetime.
