Rocky Mountain Vapour 27.5 Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB
The Rocky Mountain Vapour is a fun and capable recreational hardtail MTB ideal for canal towpaths and cross country tracks. With 120mm suspension travel and 720mm wide handlebars this is a controlled and efficient hardtail.
You can buy the Rocky Mountain Vapour through a Cycle to Work scheme if your employer participates.
Frame
At the heart of the Vapour is a strong, stiff and light 6061 aluminium hydroformed frame. A tapered head tube up-front improves steering precision. Rack and fender mounts improve versatility for MTB touring, winter riding and commuting.
Suspension
The Suntour XCM fork gives you 120mm plush travel. This is 20mm more than you’d expect from a recreational hardtail at this price point and means you can roll smoothly over more rugged terrain.
This fork comes with hydraulic lockout so you can keep the fork fixed for efficiency on smooth surfaces, and easier climbing.
Components
The Rocky Mountain Vapour comes with 27.5” wheels. They are fast rolling with nimble handling, making for a fun ride feel. Maxxis Sphinx tyres have knobbles for grip on off-road tracks but won’t slow you down when you get back on the tarmac.
You get a 3x9 speed Shimano Acera/Altus drivetrain. This setup gives you a wide range of gears to take on steep climbs, fast descents and road rides. Tektro HD-M290 hydraulic disc brakes with powerful 160mm rotors give you all the stopping power you’re going to need.
Disc brakes work consistently in all conditions are more powerful and provide a better feel than rim brakes. It also opens up the Vapour as a year round machine.
