After 20+ years of riding Specialized Stumpjumpers and Enduros, I just bought A Rocky Mountain Instinct C30 from Jenson, and it is the best Bike I have ever owned. Rocky Mtn. really pays attention to detail with their builds and frame production. Great review and great riding as usual. Some of those rock rolls were sketchy. Buying from Jenson was a great experience... I was on the bike 30 mins after delivery.
Stoked to hear about your new bike. I totally agree about the production quality and builds. My Nomad showed up with a huge hole in the box, but Jenson’s packaging kept everything scratch free.
@@NICADV The uncanny thing is the Jenson mech had everything set like I gave him/her my physical dimensions. Just a few twists on the handlebars, lowered the dropper a few mms, put the wheels on, and ready to go. Shifting was spot on and just a brake bedding needed.
I'm holding out for the Enduro update whenever that happens. 😂
This bike is LIT! Tried for first time @ garda bike festival (ITALY), after a nice tech talks with the staff of Rocky, we hit an ultra bumpy and fast trail who's our test trails for all the bikes we tested. First thing i noticed, the bike is SUPER SILENT, no rattling no sounds nothing! It's also impressive how smooth and "pop" is the bike under fast trails, it's like a dh-mini-bike, but reactive as a trail bike. It also climb very good, but with cush-core inserts it's not its best, better stick to DD tires, with no inserts (personal opinions).
Very important info, beside "sag" we diddn't add or remove compression/rebound on shock and fork, this bike is easy to set-up.
I'd buy it asap! love RM!
I think I agree on all accounts. Specifically on the suspension it’s one of the most active platforms out there, and definitely has a DH feel.
Great review! That climb...oof.. I'd love to see you review the Revel Rascal V2 on your channel. Thanks for the video.
Thanks! I got to ride V1 a bunch so I would love to check out the new bike.
Cool storage! Wish I had it on my bike!
It’s a nice feature
I have a 2022 norco range,2018 instinct and a ibis ripley 4.0. Tested the new and ended up buying the prior version because in my opinion its a better allrounder. This bike new one is closer to my norco range, big burly bike that likes to be on the ground and comes only really alive on fast steep trails. Great bike but i think they made a mistake taking the old altitued out of their bunch. The 2023 altitued is the best bike i ever ridden for my purpose
@@scrutch666 I’d probably agree with most of that. I think the new bike does a better job of competing with bikes like the Norco Range or Specialized Enduro. I do want to checkout the new Instinct as I have the suspicion it took over as the do anything, allrounder that the old bike was.
Nice review🎉 hopefully you could do INTENSE Tracer 29 one day !!!
That would be a good one. I haven’t seen Intense at an event in a while, but it’s probably worth reaching out.
got one yesterday it’s so sick, plan is to mullet it 🤙
Nice! I’ve been loving it as a mullet!
I tested the Altitude on that same trail! Small world. I actually wanted a shorter wheel base bike for RA. Altitude felt too long and floppy for me.
Yeah, after that ride I shortened the reach and set it up mullet. That helps a bit
can you talk a bit about how the bike feels as mullet vs 29er? Ive been wanting to mullet mine but havent made the switch yet and would love some info!
Yeah, if you have any specific questions let me know. As a mullet it makes the bike feel smaller and the rear wheel easier to place. It also helps a bit with body position on jumps and steeps. You do sacrifice traction at speed, which is most noticeable on lower angle, fast and rooty trails. It also seems to make it slightly slower climbing, but that may just be in my head.
Owner of this exact bike, have ridden both mx and 29. I honestly think I can't hardly tell the difference riding between the two and I'm a fairly seasoned rider/bike shop owner. I can however say that the bike kind of looks off with the mixed wheel size, i know this is personal taste but it looks as if it was almost a 26 or 24" rear end haha i love the look of the 29/29, hate the look of this bike with 29/mx. (and i ride bikes like the levo that are permanent mullet sooo... idk haha. point is dont waste your money, if you want a quicker turn in, just use the shorter reach headset cup to make the actual wheelbase smaller.
Would love to know how this compares to your Nomad, which you like better.
Nomad review video is coming soon! I just cracked some ribs so it maybe a couple weeks. I've already gotten some good riding on the Nomad in Moab, but wanted to ride it at home before a full review.
@@NICADV Good luck with the Ribs. That hurts
How does it climb vs the outgoing Altitude?
It’s greatly improved, especially the body position with the steeper seat tube. It’s still more active than some and while I generally don’t use the lockout, I did on longer climbs with the new Altitude.
Main pivot point sharing the same location as BB makes me worry about durability. Pretty strange system.
A number of companies have done it before and it increases the size of the bearings and axle so it should make for a stronger and stiffer system, but we’ll have to see.
Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Enduro und Freeride?
Enduro is a race format that requires a very capable bike on the downhill and often uses full on downhill race tracks. Stability and traction are probably the most important aspects of the bike, but it also needs to be efficient enough to ride all day. Freeride is more about riding gnarly terrain and features. You may shuttle the bike or pedal it but that's not the point. You want the bike to be stable if you're hitting big jumps or drops, but generally you'll want the bike a bit more maneuverable as all out speed is not the point. A shorter rear end and maybe smaller wheels are also preferred as that can help with tricks.
@@NICADV Thanks for the Info.
2:33 okay Mary Poppins
😂
Couldn’t have said it better myself! 😂🤯
@@user-ic4zv4ez9d 🤦🏻♂️
You should compare it to the Santa Cruz Bronson
I am hoping to get a Bronson for review in the near future as well, but a Nomad review is currently in the works.
Where is the alloy version? Oh. Right. This is RUclips. Only carbon and any frame over ten grand, is allowed.
@@Accu53Mation it’s a few grand below 10k but it all the shop had to demo. 🤷🏻♂️
