This bike uses Size Specific tune

Size Specific tune

We have expanded on our size-specific philosophy by introducing, on our latest platforms, wheel size options on certain frame sizes. We carefully looked at the rider size, travel amount, and intended use to determine the best wheel size for a given application.

Color
  • Limited availability in store only

This bike might be available at more locations. Check our Dealer Finder, and contact your local dealers.

If you’re looking for one bike that does it all, look no further than the Instinct. We’ve designed a bike that’s capable of tackling technical trail riding but still allows you to push the pedals hard on the climbs. We’ve updated the geometry, frame features, and suspension kinematics to make sure you feel confident on the up’s, down’s, and everything in between. Trust your Instinct.

THIS BIKE IS A BEAST!

This bike is good at everything climbing drops, corners jumps you name it. I have rode this bike cross country and downhill and always felt in control. The ride 9 really does make a difference so check it out.

AMAZING BIKE

Polyvalence & confort

Un vélo parfait pour avaler les obstacles

J'hésitais entre l'Element et l'Instinct pour une pratique rando All Mountain / Trail, finalement l'argument polyvalence de l'Instinct a pris le dessus.

Une fois les bons setup trouvés, on est vite en confiance sur ce vélo. Pour plus de confort j'ai remplacé la selle WTB par une SDG et les grips Odi par des Oury.

Les pneus DHF / DHR2 sont excellents en descente mais un peu durs à trainer dans les montées, j'envisage de les remplacer par quelque chose de plus roulant, plus adaptés à ma pratique. Pour plus de facilité en montée avec ces gros pneus, j'ai mis le Ride 9 sur la position 7.

Esthétiquement, le vélo est très réussi.

De négatif sur ce vélo, je n'aurais qu'une remarque sur l’équipement. Pour ce tarif, j'aurais apprécier avoir du Shimano SLX plutôt que du Deore.

Well-made rig!

This bike is great. Every part of the frame looks and feels so well made, it’s so clean and it’s such a smooth bike too. Components could be a little bit better for the price but it’s honestly good for the type of riding here in Ontario.

One bike to do it all!

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!
