Rocky Mountain Instinct


Rocky Mountain have some of the most drool-worthy bikes out there. The new Instinct 90 BC Edition offers up 29in Stan’s Flow Mk3 rims wrapped in massive 2.5in (f) and 2.4in (r) Maxxis rubber. A Fox 36 Performance Elite fork and DPX2 shock take care of bump-eating duties and control the 160mm of front and 155mm of rear travel (non-BC versions get 140mm at both ends). The geometry isn’t the most radical out there but it’s on par with many of the top bikes in the category. It’ll set you back a cool $8250.
