The Rocky Mountain Instinct 2021 is a Trail All Mountain mountain bike, the queen discipline of mountain biking because thanks to the geometry of the frame and the excursion of the 150mm fork it is a MTB that goes fast both uphill and downhill
This bike weighs only 12.8kg thanks to the Shimano XTR drivetrain, brakes, pedals, and pro and tharsis components for seatpost, saddle, handlebar, and grips.
The FORK is a Fox Float 36 Fit4 as well as the Fox Float DPX2 SUSPENSION.
The WHEELS are DTSwiss XMC1200 in carbon and Maxxis 29 "tires
DHF 2.5 "DHR 2.4"
Compared to the old Rocky Mountain Altitude it is a completely different bike, both in terms of geometry and weight, the bike weighs about 2 kg less than the previous one.
The geometries in size M are: 65.7mm head angle 76.7mm saddle angle 462mm reach and 615mm stack, 437mm rear wheel and 1209mm wheelbase
The driving sensations are excellent.
The low weight, at a more vertical saddle angle than my old bike, greatly facilitates the handling of the bike uphill. The riding position is very well balanced and the more vertical saddle angle helps to impart more power to the pedals
Downhill it feels soft and stiff at the same time. Fork and suspension worked excellently, the rather long 1209mm wheelbase makes it very stable on the straight and the attack position on the battered is easily held.
The 29-inch wheels help a lot in overcoming rocks and roots but make the bike a little less playful in cornering or tight corners.
The shopkeeper where I bought the frame sells 3 brands of excellence, Rocky Mountain, Norco and Pivot. He recently posted a video on youtube entitled "7 x 1: René Albisser" where he tested 7 bikes from his shop doing 7 times up and down from Wildspitz (the soup mountain). 6500m of elevation gain for 145km covered in 24 hours.
In the end he drew up the MTB that in his opinion had performed best on the uphill, downhill and as a convenience in general. Over all he won The Rocky Mountain Instinct.
