Review: 2021 Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 90
Not really a negative. Press fit is fine if you know how to change them and the frame tolerances are good. Problem is it puts off a lot of people due to bad fit of either the bottom bracket or the frame. Check out hambini's take.
Having said that though, I would personally steer toward a threaded BB frame just to make life easier. But the customers of this bike won't be doing their own wrenching, they will be far too busy whitening teeth or offering botox injections to pay for their new carbon whip.

Review: 2021 Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 90
@atourgates: Too bloody right. I bought my first Stumpy Evo (complete bike) brand new for less money than the cost of the RM frame only option. This RM pricing is just plain stupid.

The Complete 2021 Rocky Mountain Instinct Lineup Compared
Holy crap! Those prices at that spec! Truly the go to bike of dentists. Go compare the RM Instinct Alloy 50 to a Knolly Fugitive LT. With the latter you get full XT build and you walk away with just shy of $100 USD still in your pocket. And I though Knolly was boutique lol.
