2013 Rocky Mountain Instinct 970

Selling my Instinct as after a couple of years of happy adventure riding, I made the switch to something more downhill oriented. This is a 2013 bike in mint condition - I've had all wear and tear fixed prior to selling. Fork has a new crown (warranty replacement) and just came back from a full service with Fox. Brand-new rear wheel and axle. Full tune-up (including new chain) just done by local bike shop. Rear shock serviced at the end of last summer and riding well.

Full specs are here: http://www.bikes.com/en/bikes/instinct/2013. Includes130mm Fox Float 32 with CTD, rear shock Fox Float with CTD handlebar remote, Ride 9 adjustable geometry, RockShox Reverb dropper post.

Upgrades: RaceFace Atlas stem, Chromag Contact pedals, Chromag Lynx saddle, Kenda Nevegal tires, RaceFace bashguard, RaceFace Turbine bar, ODI Ruffian grips. Upgraded parts are mostly in anodized blue but if you prefer the stealth black look, I've still got most of the originals and can put them back on for you.

This is a really sweet adventure/XC/AM bike. It's a wicked fast climber and an incredibly capable trail bike. The 29er wheels will roll over pretty much anything. My favourite use for this bike was all day adventure rides on backwoods singletrack, but it's ridiculously versatile and will happily handle everything from technical roots and rocks to flowy new school trails. I've taken very good care of it and it's in great riding shape.

Willing to ship if buyer pays shipping costs.
