Overview
About this bike
Rocky Mountain's Instinct 950 pedals, climbs, and floats down trails with innate ability. With a full aluminum frame built around Rocky's adjustable Ride-9 geometry, the Instinct is versatile and tunable to your riding style. Take the hard line, you've got 130mm of Smoothlink rear suspension and a 130mm Fox 32 Float fork suspending the way. A SRAM/Shimano 2x10 drivetrain bolsters your climbing legs and a wide Race Face bar/stem combo gives you control in gnarly fast sections. To top it all off, you've got stout Sun wheels, meaty Maxxis tires, and big 180mm Shimano SLX discs keeping you in check.
