Overview
About this bike
The perfect platform for epic exploration, Rocky Mountain's full-carbon Instinct 999 MSL has the instinctive ability to conquer all kinds of terrain. Its 130mm of front and rear Fox-controlled, Kashima-coated travel feels like so much more when the trail gets real, yet the Smoothlink rear suspension is just as eager to face a day with massive elevation gain or mega miles. Furthering that capability, Rocky's Ride-9 adjustable geometry lets you tune the bike to your style, or the ride's terrain. The specs are incredible as well: Shimano's best-of-the-best XTR 11-speed drivetrain with Race Face Next SL carbon cranks, Shimano XTR Ice Tech discs, wide Race Face Next carbon bars, tubeless-ready carbon Stan's 29er wheels, and a sweet WTB saddle complete the package. Follow your Instinct, the perfect platform is here.
