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.

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.

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!

Insinct C50 2022

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.

Freeriders trailbike

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.
