Plus, the 29-inch wheels roll smoothly over obstacles, providing enhanced traction and control.

Equipped with a Shimano Deore XT groupset, the Instinct delivers precise and reliable shifting, allowing you to seamlessly navigate through gears as you conquer hills or power down descents. The Shimano SLX Trail 4 Piston brakes offer strong stopping power and control, ensuring you can descend confidently, knowing you can slow down or stop on a dime. With 180mm rotors both front and rear, overheating is less of a concern, giving you peace of mind during long rides.

Wheels are crucial in any mountain bike, and the WTB ST Light i30 TCS 2.0 Tubeless ready setup caters to riders seeking performance without compromise.
