Instinct Carbon 50

Zero complaints about this beast. Definitely comes with some entry level options but that's the price point for ya. Would recommend the Alloy 10 and do your own upgrades though.

Upgraded the rear shock to Ultimate Deluxe Coil and this thing is unstoppable.

It has safely and quickly gotten down some of the longest bike parks including Kicking Horse and Revelstoke with zero problems.

Great steed for the price!

The ajustablity on this bike is awesome allowing me to fine tune the bike to suit my local trails & riding style.

The ride feel & finish of the frame is excellent & the choice of solid , well known & reliable components that finish the build are perfect.

This is my first rocky mountain & it leaves me with a huge smile on my face every time I ride it .

In my opinion this is the perfect trail bike & I would highy recommend it to anyone looking for a bike that really can do it all.

I am stoked with my 27.5 instinct in the short chainstay and slack headtube position, the adjustment for different trail missions is quick and simple, though seldom needed. Because of this adjustability, riders will be able to find their sweet spot to suit their style and leave it there. This is an exceptional trailbike that is highly efficient on the way up, across, through, and over. When you point it downhill, it can confidently send all the fun freeride and techy lines. The instinct behaves very well in the air and is rather playful, striking a beautiful balance between fun and efficiency. Only gripe is the UDH is ONLY compatible with the Long chainstay position, so if you like a short chainstay and UDH you are out of luck. The Gold and Red color looks way better in person.

-Trust your instinct and may the stoke be with you.

Already the version I have from 2018 was really great.

@ Gino: what is your bike rack?

The Instinct Alloy 10 is a fantastic rig, and well worth the price tag. The geometry is great, outside of some excessive sag on the rear of the bike. The only comment I'd make is the tires are not ideal for technical trail climbing and riding. If the tires were updated to the Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5's (or tire of that family), it would make all the difference.
