Expirience with the Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 50

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding on demanding trails, the Instinct Carbon 50 is an absolute banger. The flat 65,7 degree head tube angle of the All Mountain of Rocky Mountain gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Instinct Carbon 50. With 5 years the warranty is another neat feature.
