Overview
About this bike
Designed with British Columbia's world-class trails in mind, Rocky Mountain's Instinct BC Edition is a little longer-legged, a little slacker, and a little more aggressive. Built from Smoothwall carbon around Rocky's Ride-9 adjustable geometry, the Instinct is versatile and tunable to your weight, local trails, or riding style. With that adjustability, you find lines that make old trails new with the 130mm of SmoothLink Monarch rear suspension and a RockShox Pike fork with 140mm of travel. SRAM 1x11 gearing bolsters your climbing legs and wide Race Face bars give you plenty of leverage to muscle through techy sections. With the tubeless-ready Stan's 29er wheels, meaty Maxxis tires, a Reverb dropper post, and big 180mm Shimano XT discs reining it all in, you're charging new lines and following your Instinct.
