Overview
About this bike
Trust your Instinct. Stable and aggressive, the Instinct is Rocky Mountain's most versatile trail bike. With 140mm of rear travel, this aluminum trail machine features Rocky Mountain's Ride-9 system to tailor the suspension and geometry to suit the day's adventure, giving you the ability to rip through miles of buff singletrack and charge down sketchy lines with confidence. Aiding your capabilities are Fox's outstanding 34 Float Performance Elite fork, Float DPS EVOL Performance Elite shock, and dirt-churning Maxxis Minion DHR II tires to keep you deftly chasing in fun's track, and a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain for high-performance shifting. Powerful SRAM Guide R hydraulic disc brakes give you impressive control, and with a Fox Transfer Performance Elite dropper post, you're always in the best position to absolutely rail mile after mile of singletrack.
