Rocky Mountain says

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 the ride. That s why we ve introduced FORM the design and manufacturing process of our high-performance frame tubing. Our philosophy behind FORM tubing is to push the limits of tube and frame design to create the frame s unique riding feel. Designed to maximize your ride, this frame has been created with our usual stringent FORM design and prototype testing processes. We didn t just push the envelope on tube/frame design we tore it wide open. And if that wasn t enough, our frames were test driven by worldclass athletes in the harshest of conditions.
