Overview
About this bike
Named after its instinctive ability to tame a variety of terrain, Rocky Mountain's Instinct 930 MSL is more than eager for serious exploration. Rocky's Smoothwall carbon front triangle and hydroformed aluminum rear triangle sport a Ride-9 system that makes it easy to tune your geometry and suspension just the way you like it, while its 130mm of Smoothlink travel doesn't shy away from nasty, techy sections. Neither does the Manitou Minute Expert fork with 130mm of travel. A SRAM/Shimano 2x10 drivetrain keeps you steaming ahead, and a wide Race Face bar pilots you quickly through the chunder. To top it all off, you've got stout Wheeltech 29er wheels, legit Maxxis tires, and big 180mm Shimano discs keeping your speed in check.
