The Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 50 is your versatile trail companion when the terrain keeps changing and the adventure doesn’t stop.
Designed to balance confident descending, efficient climbing, and all-day comfort, this modern trail bike adapts to everything the mountain throws at you.
Updated Carbon Frame
The Instinct Carbon 50 features Rocky Mountain’s premium SMOOTHWALL™ carbon frame, engineered for strength, low weight, and responsive handling.
Integrated Penalty Box 2.0 storage keeps your essentials tucked away inside the downtube, so you’re always prepared without needing to strap on extra bags.
Custom-Tuned to Your Trail
Dial in your perfect ride with Ride-4 adjustable geometry — four settings that let you fine-tune the head angle and suspension characteristics to match the trail ahead.
Need even more?
The 2-position chainstay adjustment lets you switch between a more agile, playful setup or a more stable, planted feel for high-speed descents.
Balanced Suspension for Real Trails
The RockShox Lyrik fork with 150mm travel delivers precise control and confidence on rooty descents and technical lines.
And the Fox Float X rear shock provides 140mm of rear wheel travel, keeping you connected to the trail on climbs and descents alike.
Proven Shimano SLX/XT Build
A mix of Shimano SLX and XT components delivers reliable, crisp shifting and powerful braking so you can ride harder, climb longer, and stay in control when it matters most.
