Rocky Mountain Instinct Frame

No, the Instinct C frame is sold without a rear shock. This gives you the flexibility to select and tune the specific shock that best suits your riding style and terrain preferences.

The Instinct is Rocky Mountain's most versatile platform, designed to handle technical trail riding while remaining efficient enough for long-distance rides and steep climbs. It is a true 'do-it-all' frame for riders who want one bike that can handle everything from flow trails to rugged backcountry routes.

The RIDE-4 adjustment system allows you to fine-tune the frame's geometry and suspension rate. By rotating a chip in the linkage, you can slacken or steepen the head tube angle and adjust the bottom bracket height to match the trail conditions or your personal preference.

The Penalty Box 2.0 is an integrated storage compartment built into the downtube of the frame. It provides a secure, rattle-free space to carry trail essentials like a tube, multi-tool, or snacks, keeping your pockets or pack lighter.

Yes, the frame includes 2-bolt ISCG05 tabs, which allow you to easily mount a chain guide or bash guard for added drivetrain security on rougher terrain.

The Instinct C frame utilizes a Press Fit bottom bracket standard. Ensure your crankset and bottom bracket components are compatible with this specific interface before installation.
