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.
