Alta Peak

All new for 2010, the new Alta Peak moves into the All-Mountain category, replacing last year's Cascade Peak (which moved up to the Nebo's previous level). A great value in the category with incredible components.

New frame. New components. Better ride. Better value.
We start with the new F6A frame. It provides better pedaling up and down hills with less bob; better cornering with offset chainstays for more lateral stiffness; better performance and durability with sealed bearings on the pivots; lower standover clearance to jump on and off easier; a slightly more relaxed head angle (69 degrees) improved control in cornering and descending; and finishes that are second to none.

Other benefits include:

• A bend in the top tube to give lower standover clearance because often when you need to put a foot down on the trail you're not on level ground and you need as much clearance as you can get.
• Bearings on every pivot (rather than bushings which is the industry standard) that provide superior performance and durability.
• Off-set chainstays for more lateral stiffness.
• Hydroformed (drawn) tubes, rather than traditional gussets provide superior strength and durability, and are lighter.
• Improved suspension that incorporates the most proven 4-Bar Link rear suspension on the market with refinements that distribute bump stress through four links and provides a more vertical wheel path than many other full suspension frames. A vertical wheel path means that when you're pedaling the bike won't bob up and down, but it will still absorb the bumps.
• Butting (thinning the tubing walls in the right places) to lower weight. The frame weighs just 6 lbs.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty on the frame - the best in the business.

Just ride a Fezzari Full Suspension frame, and you'll notice the difference. Many have stated they're the best they've ever ridden.

We complete the Alta with a combination of great components, including: Shimano XT derailleur for smooth, quick shifting; Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes that are self-adjusting; RockShox Recon 100mm travel fork; Rockshox Ario 2.2 rear shock with Lockout; Mavic XM117 rims; Maxxis Larsen TT tires; and on and on!

The question you’re probably asking is “How can they do all this at this price?” That’s our core strategy: Quality. Custom. Direct.

You get the following main upgrades over the Abajo Peak:

1. Upgraded frame - 6 inch vs 4 inch travel
   
2. Upgraded drivetrain - from Shimano LX to Shimano XT. You'll notice the difference in smoother and quicker shifting.
3. Upgraded front fork - upgrade from RockShox Tora to RockShox Recon with longer travel and air more aggressive riding.
   
4. Upgraded disc brakes - go from Avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes to Avid Juicy 3 brakes that are self-adjusting and lighter to the touch.
5. Upgraded wheels - from Alex DP17 to Mavic XM117 wheels that are lighter.

Who will enjoy this bike? Moderate to advanced riders and those doing more aggressive riding.  Riders who want all the best value in all mountain riding who don’t want to second-guess themselves down the road if they got enough bike. With the Alta Peak, you’ve got everything you need to tackle all the trails.

Awesome bike guys. You did a great job. It climbs hills better than my TREK 4000 and it absorbs everything and corners amazingly. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It took me just 15 minutes to assemble my bike.Oh and the bike fit does wonders.

  5 star mountain bike

I bought this mountain bike after one year of research and test rides on the XTC-1 and XTC-2 as well as the Kona Cindercone. I was told that these were the best bikes around for the type of moderate mountain biking I do. I stumbled upon Fezzari.com and after looking at the components and price of what the Kona Dawgma would cost me I knew what I had to do. I took my list of components and compared them with the Fezzari Alta Peak and it was a no brainer. The Alta Peak won hands down. I recently took the bike out on an 8 mile loop around the Morgan Territory in Livermore, California and it handled beautifully. The sections where I was climbing for 15-20 minutes felt much better than before with my 1994 Scott Tampico. The dual suspension is a dream and being able to lock out both the front and rear makes climbing a breeze. My friends who own Giants and Kona's couldn't believe how nice the Alta Peak looked compared to their bikes. All said and done this was a great purchase which will provide me years of punishing mountain biking. I might have forgot to mention that I am 6'4 245 lbs and the Alta Peak never bottomed out or had any issues period. If you are on the fence about buying this bike just do it. You wont regret it and you will have a solid American company building your dream bike. 5 Stars from me.

I've had my Alta for 2 years now. It's been a great first bike for me. Some guy bought it and used it once. I found him on Craig's List and bought it off him in mint condition for $700. 2 years of hard riding and I love it.

Hi Guys, I just wanted to post a Thank You for the help in gettin' Noah on the new frame. We went and got him a couple bike tools and after we (he) got it all built up, he took it out and called me on the phone to tell me there was a problem with his new bike. The problem? "I like it too much!" he said. Who's that kid in the Bike in Action photos?!?!

I have been riding the new Alta for about 1 week now and absolutely love it. I know it's brand new out but I was in the store about a week ago and saw the new version and got one of the first.

It's the most responsive bike I've ever ridden. It hugs the corners. The slightly slacker head angle makes it fly downhill. Best bike I've ever ridden. Great job!

I've had my Alta Peak for about 3 weeks now. When you spend $1,000 for something, you want it to be perfect, and so far I've been very happy. I had to take the bike back in once to get a few extra adjustments to fit my 6'5" frame but Fezzari was happy to accomodate. The Alta Peak is a very solid and attractive bike with very good components. It's a joy to ride--I can hardly wait to get up at 6 am each morning to ride up the canyon. The only thing I would do different is to use rubber grips for the handle bar that fit tighter. My grips move a little when I ride. It's not a big deal but just an FYI. Thank you!

  I love this bike!

This is my first full suspension bike, primarly due to the fact that I could not justify spending more that a grand for something without a motor. I discovered Fezzari while doing some online research, & I feel very lucky that I did. The Alta Peak is worth every penny. I've dropped 15 pounds in 3 weeks, because it's such a joy to ride that I try to bike every day. A good full suspension bike has always been well outside of my budget, but Fezzari made it possible. Thanks guys!

  Excellent choice for a nice, smooth ride

I bought this bike a year ago and I enjoy the nice, smooth ride every time I have a chance to relax outdoors. I received the bike in time as it was promised and very few things needed to be assembled, so I was ready to go in few hours. My friends did not hear about this brand name, but now they agree that is very competitive with big names at a much more affordable price.

I was out of town for a few weeks so I rented a Giant. There simply is no comparison in handling, feel, fit. I'm amazed that a more expensive bike actually looks bad against the Fezzari.

  Great product at a great price

You make a great product for the price! I almost bought a Cannondale Rush 6 and for the price the Alta Peak is 10 times the bike. I almost didn't find out about you in time though. I just happened to be surfing around one night and happened upon your website by accident. I went to the local bike shop the next day and I got my deposit back on the Cannondale and ordered the Alta Peak the next day. Thanks for a great product at a great price!

  You can't beat the custom set up

Being an odd size rider, the idea of having a bike built to my measurements sounded impossible. I owned Trek and Specialized and spent a small fortune in extras (necks, bars, cranks, and rims). They never fit right -- always felt awkward. 10 minutes after pulling my Alta Peak from the box I felt perfection. It fits like a glove. No extras needed. And such a value the bike is fully loaded. You guys are the best.

I got my Alta Peak a few days ago and so far I love it. I have been riding trails all over Okinawa Japan and it performs excellent! Thanks for the great product.

  Super responsive and climbs amazing
by Pablo L (Lake Worth, FL)

I received the Alta Peak last week and after very few tweaks the bike was ready to go. It looked solid to me and after my first day riding I can say it is incredibly durable. By no means am I making this up but I took some serious falls with the bike flying through the air etc. It was possibly the most horrible display of riding you could imagine. I had a about a 4 foot drop front wheel first after jumping a rock formation. I have a few scars to prove it. The bike kicks a**, super responsive and it climbs amazing! And after an insane day of riding its still intact with a few scratches.

Just purchased an Alta Peak and it kicks a**. Through rocks, water whatever it rides really nice with great response. My friends are very impressed.

  Bike and support are awesome
by Mark Foster (Oceanside, CA)
September 24, 2007

All I really new about mountain bikes when I started looking was that I wanted to ride! After visiting several local bike shops, the one thing that was said consistently was components, components, components. I looked at Giant, Trek, and Specialized to name a few. Then I was led to Fezzari’s website. I printed out the specs on the Alta Peak XR and went back to every bike shop. None of the bike shops could compete with the Alta Peak XR price and components. There comparable bikes with these components were around $2000-$2500. So based on there advise, I bought a bike based off the frame design and components offered, It was the Fezzari Alta Peak XR! I’ve had this bike for about 6 months and trail ride about 50mi a week here in So-Cal. I even took it up to Mammoth Mountain for a week. The bike is just awesome! The ride is smooth, handles great in the tight stuff and climbs great. If you’re starting out just like I was, get a bike that your ability can grow into, get the most for your money and get the Alta Peak XR. I’m telling you… take a spec sheet and hit your local bike shops, they just will not be able to compete! O’ya… there support is awesome as well. I mean you can call them up and talk to a real person in less than a minute. Setting the bike up out of the box is a piece of cake…about 15min and your riding. As you can tell I love this bike and I’m sure you will as well. Thanks to all at Fezzari and hurry up with that Downhill bike…I want one of those too!

  What a bargain

Fezzari, you are definitely doing things right. I am thoroughly enjoying my Alta Peak. What a bargain, too.
