Overview
About this bike
Designed with British Columbia's world-class trails in mind, Rocky Mountain's Instinct 990 MSL BC Edition is a little more burly, 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. Shimano/Race Face 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, legit Maxxis Minion tires, a Reverb dropper post, and big 180mm Shimano XT discs reining it all in, you're charging new lines and following your Instinct.
