Rocky Mountain says

The evolution of Rocky Mountain's signature race hardtail, Vertex RSL has already been piloted to World Cup victories by Geoff Kabush and Marie-Helene Premont. Vertex RSL features Rocky Mountain's proven race geometry in a super light and stiff package. New for 2010 is our Vertex alloy frame which features a completely redesigned FORM tubeset, Shimano Direct Mount front derailleur mount, and BB92 bottom bracket shell.
