Details
The Instinct has always been the benchmark for those in search of a do-it-all quiver-killer. Designed to thrive on technical trails, but still allows you to push the distance and crush the climbs. We’ve updated the frame features, geometry, and suspension kinematics to make sure you feel confident on the up’s, down’s, and everything in between. Trust your Instinct.
What's New?
Refined geometry
We’ve increased the reach, made the seat tube angle steeper, lengthened the chainstays.
Total adjustability
Designed with adjustable frame features to suit all riders and riding styles. This is our most versatile platform.
Size-specific tune
Each frame size is tuned for small-bump compliance, mid-stroke support, and end-stroke progressiveness. Each framesize also features custom shock tunes based on real world field testing.
Reach adjust headset
Fine tune your ride with center, +/- 5mm offset options.
RIDE-4™ adjustment system
Allows riders to quickly fine-tune their geometry and suspension with a single Allen key.
Generous space for long dropper posts
Shorter seat tube lengths for increased dropper post fitment.
Storage included
The new PenaltyBox™ 2.0 downtube storage (carbon models only) includes generous capacity, custom tool wrap and our rock-solid hinged door system that doubles down as a water bottle mount and built-in concealed AirTag/Tile compartment.
Fully enclosed internal routing
Allows for easy cable and hose installations, with thoughtful consideration for moto-style brake setups.
