Rocky Mountain Instinct A10 Alloy (2022)

The Instinct Alloy 10 is a versatile trail bike built around Rocky Mountain’s FORM™ alloy frame, designed to balance climbing efficiency with descending control.

The Instinct A10 runs on 150 mm of front suspension via a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork. And 140 mm rear wheel travel courtesy of a RockShox Deluxe Select shock.

It's equipped with a Shimano Deore 11‑speed drivetrain with a hill‑friendly 11‑51T cassette, offering both low gears for steep climbs and an extended top end for faster sections.

A standout feature is the RIDE‑9 adjustable geometry system, allowing riders to fine‑tune handling characteristics via a two‑position flip chip and multiple frame configurations to suit riding style or terrain. 

Component reinforces the bike’s trail readiness: Tektro HD‑M275 hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors deliver confident stopping power; the Rocky Mountain TR30 tubeless‑ready rims paired with WTB Ranger Comp tires improve traction and reduce flats; and the Toonie dropper post allows swift saddle height adjustments on the trail.
