Overview
About this bike
When you're riding the Rocky Mountain Instinct, blasting through sinewy singletrack and negotiating techy rock gardens almost comes naturally. Built with versatility in mind for all-day adventure, the Instinct Carbon 30 features a RockShox Reba RL 140mm fork and RockShox Deluxe Debonair RT 140mm rear shock for tackling any obstacle on your journey into the backcountry. And, with Rocky Mountain's unique Ride-9 suspension adjustment system, you can dial in the geometry and feel to suit the expected terrain. Race Face Aeffect Cinch cranks paired to a SRAM NX 1X11-speed drivetrain give you efficient gearing options on steep climbs, and stout SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes let you charge with confident control on the way down. The 29-inch Sun Helix rims and beefy Maxxis Minion DHR II rubber combo lets you get loose without worry, and a mix of WTB and Rocky Mountain components round out the cockpit for solid trail performance.
