All About the 2024 Rocky Mountain Instinct C70 SRAM
The 2024 Rocky Mountain Instinct C70 SRAM stands as a paragon of modern mountain biking, combining cutting-edge technology with a design philosophy that emphasizes both performance and rider experience. This bike is engineered for those who demand the very best in technology, performance, and reliability on the trail. Its array of features, from the SMOOTHWALL Carbon Frame to the revolutionary SRAM X0 Transmission Wireless Derailleur, positions it as a top contender in the high-performance trail bike segment.
Central to the Instinct C70 SRAM's allure is its SMOOTHWALL Carbon Frame. Crafted using an advanced carbon molding process, this frame is not only lightweight but also incredibly strong, offering an unmatched balance of stiffness and responsiveness. This foundation ensures that every pedal stroke is converted into forward motion, and every turn is executed with precision, making it a joy to ride whether on steep climbs or technical descents.
Integral to the bike's longevity and smooth operation are the full sealed cartridge bearings. These are strategically placed at pivot points to ensure seamless motion and to protect the bike's moving parts from the ingress of dirt and moisture. Such attention to detail extends the lifespan of the bike and maintains its performance over countless rides.
The Sram BB92 DUB Wide system introduces a new level of drivetrain performance and durability. Its design optimizes chainline and enhances bearing life, ensuring efficient power transfer and reliability under the most demanding conditions. This system's integration within the Instinct C70 SRAM's design underscores the bike's commitment to uncompromised performance.
Internal cable routing contributes to the bike's sleek aesthetic, minimizing exposure to the elements and reducing maintenance. This design choice not only enhances the bike's visual appeal but also ensures that its shifting performance remains crisp and reliable over time, free from the accumulation of dirt and debris.
The inclusion of 2-Bolt ISCG05 Tabs exemplifies the bike's versatility, allowing riders to easily customize their setup with chain guides or bash guards. This feature is particularly appealing to those who push their limits on technical trails, offering added protection and reliability when it's needed most.
One of the most notable features of the Instinct C70 SRAM is its RIDE-4â„¢ Adjustable Geometry. This innovative system allows riders to fine-tune the bike's geometry, tailoring it to various terrains and riding styles. Whether seeking a more aggressive stance for downhill stability or a more relaxed geometry for all-day comfort, the RIDE-4â„¢ system provides the flexibility to dial in the perfect ride.
Components
Braking is handled by Sram G2 RSC 4 Piston brakes with resin pads, offering powerful and modulated stopping power. These brakes are designed to handle the rigors of mountain biking, providing confidence-inspiring control on steep descents and in technical sections.
The SRAM X0 Transmission Wireless Derailleur and SRAM AXS Wire Pod Controller mark a significant advancement in mountain bike technology. This wireless setup not only reduces weight by eliminating cables but also offers precise, reliable shifting in any condition. The future of mountain biking is wireless, and the Instinct C70 SRAM is at the forefront of this revolution.
The drivetrain is rounded out with a SRAM GX Transmission 10-52T Cassette and SRAM GX Transmission Chain, offering a wide range of gears for climbing efficiency and speed on descents. This setup ensures that riders have the right gear for every situation, making climbs more manageable and descents more exhilarating.
Suspension
Suspension is provided by a RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork with 150mm of travel and a RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock with 140mm of travel. This combination offers plush, responsive handling over a variety of terrains, absorbing bumps and providing stability and control.
Cockpit
The Rocky Mountain AM Carbon Handlebar, with its 780mm width, offers an optimal balance of control and comfort. Paired with the FSA Orbit NO.85 Reach Adjust Headset, which allows for fine-tuning of the bike's fit, riders can achieve a comfortable and efficient riding position.
Touch Points
Wheel and tire selection is crucial for trail performance, and the Instinct C70 SRAM excels with Rocky Mountain 30AM Carbon Rims and Maxxis Dissector 2.4 WT 3C MaxxTerra EXO Tires. This combination offers durability, traction, and reduced rolling resistance, ensuring that the bike performs flawlessly across a range of trail conditions.
Completing the build is a OneUp Dropper 30.9mm Dropper Post, providing riders with the ability to quickly adjust seat height on the fly. This feature is invaluable on variable terrain, allowing for seamless transitions between climbing and descending.
In Conclusion
The 2024 Rocky Mountain Instinct C70 SRAM is more than just a bike; it's a testament to what's possible when innovation meets passion for mountain biking. Every component, from its advanced carbon frame to the groundbreaking wireless shifting technology, has been chosen to provide an unrivaled riding experience. Whether tackling challenging technical trails or enjoying a leisurely ride through scenic landscapes, the Instinct C70 SRAM is equipped to offer an exceptional adventure on two wheels.
