BLISTER
"The latest iteration of the Rocky Mountain Instinct is an especially good take on a relatively lively, do-it-all Trail bike — but it’s also highly adaptable and can be set up to cater to an impressively wide range of desired traits, given its ample geometry adjustments."

"It was comfortable an easy to hop on and ride. Another cool adjustment thing that the Rocky Mountain [Instinct] had that none of the other bikes in our field had to offer was an adjustable headset."

VITAL MTB
"Our favorite attribute of the Instinct was how well it handles big drops or G-outs. For a 140mm travel bike, it's rad to have the freedom to push the bike and know that you can send jumps a little further, hit berms a little later, and ride through big compressions with composure."
NSMB
"The new bike has a significantly more forgiving chassis than the old one as it plows through wheel-fighting roots and rocks with ease. There is less deflection even with the carbon wheels. There didn't seem to be any learning curve to the new bike. It was intuitive and confidence inspiring."
BEBIKES
"First of all, I think the “I can only have one bike” riders will like this. It’s got you covered on everything from cruisy, jumpy, berm-y blues all the way up to rough and rugged double black diamonds. There’s not a trail I’ve ridden that I wouldn’t take the Instinct on."
Awesome MTB
"Rocky balances the active suspension while still maintaining a playful feel."
