Overview
About this bike
When your idea of an epic mountain bike ride includes hard-earned technical climbs mixed with fast and flowy descents, the Instinct Carbon 50 should be your ride of choice. Stacked with versatility, this 140mm carbon 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 34 Float Performance fork, Float DPS EVOL Performance shock, and Maxxis Minion DHR II EXO tires to keep you chasing deftly in fun's track, and a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain puts slick shifting at the ready. Powerful SRAM Level TL hydraulic discs put reliable speed control at your fingertips, and a Race Face Aeffect dropper post allows for the optimal ride position on the descent.
