The all-new 2023 Rocky Mountain Solo carbon features a fully redesigned frame, clearance for 29 x 2.0” or 27.5 x 2.2″ tires, and more gear mounting points than ever. Plus, Rocky rolled out two redevamped alloy models alongside the new carbon version. Check it out here…
The Solo is Rocky Mountain’s only drop-bar bike, sitting within their off-road focused mountain bike range. Although it’s a bit of an outlier in their lineup, it naturally fills the gap between a skinny-tired road bike and knobby-tired MTB, which seems fitting for a brand like Rocky Mountain. We spent some time on the 2019 Rocky Mountain Solo and found it to be fast and stable on gravel, and it offered lots of value for anyone on the hunt for a capable all-road drop-bar bike.
We’re excited to see a completely redesigned Rocky Mountain Solo for 2023 and beyond. While the overall concept remains the same, the Solo is now offered with a carbon frame for the first time. The geometry on the 2023 Rocky Mountain Solo carbon and alloy frames stayed relatively consistent with past models, although there were a few size-specific tweaks and the overall reach on all sizes got a little longer.
The biggest change to the design of the Solo is that it now has clearance for 29 x 2.0” or 27.5 x 2.2” tires. The frame also gets internal cable routing, dropper post routing, the ability to run 1x and 2x drivetrains, and a boatload of gear mounts, including 12 on the frame and eight on the fork. The latest Solo has is offered in three complete carbon builds and two alloy models, catering to different budgets and requirements. Find all the details below.
