2011 Rocky Mountain Blizzard Ltd Edition Hardtail XC Bike

Technology - ST3:
When we first startedbuilding bikes it quickly became apparent that traditional framegeometry wasn't going to cut it on the steep descents and tight turningsingletrack of southern British Columbia. To help tame this ruggedlandscape we developed ST3 Geometry - or Sloping Top Tube Technology. Asloping top tube means increased frame stiffness and strength, and whenthings aren't going so well, more stand over height for crucialdismounting ease.
The frame layout creates a compact front end,giving increased agility in tight turning singletrack while providingincreased stiffness for greater control in all conditions. It's alsobomber construction: with a greater separation between the top tube/seattube and seat tube/seat stay welds, frame stress is distributed over alarger area of the seat tube. Originated by Rocky Mountain and copied byothers, ST3 delivers a better handling, stronger frame - the ride of alifetime.
