Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 70

The bike is designed for versatility. Its full-suspension geometry provides efficient power transfer on climbs, while the 150mm of front travel and stable 29-inch wheels offer the composure needed to navigate steep, technical descents with confidence.

While it is a high-performance machine, the Instinct's intuitive handling makes it approachable for intermediate riders looking to progress. It offers enough capability to grow with your skills without being overly aggressive or difficult to manage.

The dropper post allows you to instantly lower your saddle height with the push of a lever. This is essential for getting the seat out of the way during steep descents, giving you more room to maneuver and better control over the bike.

The Instinct Carbon 70 weighs 31 lbs. While not the lightest bike on the market, this weight is standard for a durable, full-suspension trail bike and provides a planted, stable feel that helps maintain traction on rough terrain.

The 29-inch wheel size is chosen for its ability to roll over obstacles and maintain momentum. This setup provides superior stability and grip, making it easier to carry speed through technical sections and flowing singletrack.

Yes, hydraulic disc brakes are the industry standard for mountain biking because they provide consistent, powerful stopping force with very little hand effort. They offer the modulation and reliability required for safe, controlled braking on long, steep descents.
