Although the shock is fixed in what would be the lowest and slackest position on the standard bike, the extra travel means a very tall 350mm bottom bracket (18mm higher than on the non-BC Instinct). . .

Rocky Mountain’s R&D facility is nestled at the foot of Vancouver’s North Shore Mountains, home to some of the most well-known trails in the world.

With refresh in the middle of last year, the 2018 Rocky Mountain Instinct Trail 29er keeps its XC pacing but ups the technical capability. The result is a fast, nimble bike ready for rougher trails. Our full review explains what's changed, and why the updates were a good thing...

Rocky Mountain's 140mm travel 29er is aimed at the all-day trail rider. It's been a while since we've ridden a Rocky, let's see how it holds up after a few weeks of shredding.
Looks great.
Mostly great spec for the cash.
Lively and fast through the singletrack.
Under-gunned SRAM Level brakes.
Horrendous saddle.

Big wheels for maximum roll-over on technical trails and stability at mind-numbing speeds. Important things to consider when building a bike for Oregon's trails.
