TGR Tested 2018 Mountain Bike Review: Rocky Mountain Instinct BC

Full review at tested.tetongravity.com // Sometimes, there’s just that kind of bike out there that begs for aftermarket upgrades to make it into the ultimate shred sled. After Rocky Mountain noticed that riders everywhere were modifying their popular Instinct 29er frame by adding a 160mm fork and chucking on a wide bar/ short stem combo, they decided to create a production version of exactly that: a big-wheeled carbon enduro machine. The verdict? Gone are the days of boring 29ers. This bike is insanely fast, and just begged its riders to let go of the brakes and pin it downhill, but would not shy away from long days in the saddle climbing up the biggest mountains it can find.
