Rocky Mountain has always had in my opinion, some great colorways. Maybe not the primary factor, but when I’m spending several thousand dollars on something I want it to look good. In a time when bikes from major manufacturers at similar price points are essentially indistinguishable performance-wise, color options become a determining factor. I’m really disappointed with the replacement colors. Rocky just posted the frame replacement material/color scheme. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and assure you that the new front triangle will meet the performance and quality expected from Rocky Mountain. We appreciate your help in communicating this voluntary safety recall message to owners of these affected bike frames. We are committed to making high quality bikes for riders and their safety is a top priority. Further communication will be sent in collaboration with these authorities in a joint effort to reach Rocky Mountain bike owners affected by this recall.

Rocky Mountain is working closely with consumer product safety authorities worldwide about this issue and have already submitted a product recall plan to remedy the situation as soon as possible. This voluntary recall includes the free replacement of the alloy front triangle for model years 2018, 20 Instinct, Instinct BC and Pipeline trail bikes with 29” and 27.5+” wheels that share the same frame.

Riders affected by this recall should stop using their bike immediately and contact a Rocky Mountain authorized dealer for instructions. To date, there has been a very small number of incidents reported out of over 4,700 units produced. Carbon models are not affected.Ī few incidents in the field along with further testing has confirmed the possibility that affected front triangles could crack which could lead to a separation of the head tube from the top tube. Because the safety of our riders is our top priority, we have decided to initiate a voluntary safety recall of specific alloy only Instinct, Instinct BC and Pipeline bikes of 2018, 20 model years.
