    Summary

    Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Instinct Alloy 50

    Rocky Mountain Instinct Alloy 50 Review When using the bike for on demanding single tracks, the All Mountain of Rocky Mountain with its 150 mm on the fork is totally spot on. The flat 65,7 degree head tube angle of the Rocky Mountain Fully oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 15,3 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. The Instinct Alloy 50 has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more. The guarantee promise of 5 years ensures trust.
