Overview
About this bike
Go where you want and own every inch of the trail along the way with the Instinct Carbon 70. 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 outstanding 34 Float Performance Elite fork, Float DPS EVOL Performance Elite shock, and dirt-churning Maxxis Minion DHR II EXO tires to keep you deftly chasing in fun's track, and a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain for robust shifting performance. 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.
