Oh, I agree. Unmodified it still feels pretty fresh to me, but mine currently sits at -2 degrees HTA and running full steep Ride-9 for the most "modern" geo, short-stroked by 5mm out back w/ extra bottomless tokens in the rear shock, and kinda feels like a lighter Optic. Had the opportunity to take the new Instinct out for a solid spin on Sunday/Monday and I was like "nah, too dangerous. I like this one too much". I only call it haggard because of ride time.
