Young savages: Last Cinto vs Rocky Mountain Instinct C90
Two new all-mountain bikes battle it out for the crown of downhill touring fullys. Which bike will win the duel?

It is much more than just the exclusive price tag that connects these two duelists. Both the Cinto and the Instinct are in the five-figure range and draw on the full range of features. Even the carbon frames, at 3700 euros for the Rocky and as much as 4398 euros for the Last, push the exorbitant price range to the limit. Incidentally, both are based on a long-travel enduro bike and share the same frame as their big brother. With 150 mm forks and also around 150 millimetres of rear suspension travel, the two new models are aimed precisely at the all-mountain category. They are downhill-orientated all-rounders with a huge range of use. So let's get out on the test track.

Find out how the Last Cinto and the Rocky Mountain fare in a duel in the test from BIKE 7/2021, which you can conveniently download as a PDF below.

The test costs 1.49 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in BIKE. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them, hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
