Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 70 29" Mountain Bike
[Photos are illustrative and may not represent the actual setup of this bike model. See description below for exact specifications.]
Instinct is designed for epic singletrack conquest. But it's also a highly versatile bike suitable for trails of all kinds. If you're looking for a versatile mountain bike that's not afraid of anything, the Instinct is made for you.
Tuned Trail Bike
Thanks to the improved geometry, the Instinct can handle more aggressive and faster riding than ever before, and is confident and efficient on the trail. It will adapt to whatever demands you put on it.
The sophisticated frame is designed to work perfectly in all sizes and with riders of different heights. Rocky Mountain uses 27.5" wheels for smaller sizes and 29" for M and larger frames. They also tune the suspension differently for each size.
The RIDE-9 system allows the rider to fine tune the geometry even more precisely with just two Allen wrenches.
