You can also buy the M97 as a frameset, which will help you to configure your bike even more specifically to your needs.
Our frames are manufactured in a small scale high-end carbon factory in Taiwan, where also some well known premium mountain bike brands are manufactured. The frames are tested against the ISO4210 standard and the much stricter internal factory testing program, using German Zedler testing equipment.
Coating is done in The Netherlands at a highly specialized company, experienced in raw carbon frames. The frames are carefully sanded, after which the primer is applied.
When the surface is very smooth, the two-component multi-layer coating system is applied and the frames are cured in ovens.
Quality control, assembly of the frames and final bike assembly is all done in-house at Instinctiv.
We are happy to answer all your questions. Normally we come back to you in one working day.

We recommend a maximum rider weight of 110 kg, including clothing, backpack, accessories, etc. to take full advantage of the potential and adjustability of the suspension. Heavier riders may experience an increased sag percentage.
All sizes are given in millimeters, unless stated otherwise.
The M’s integrated gearbox gives you next generation technology and a worry-free drivetrain.
Thanks to the absence of derailleur and cassette your rear wheel is lighter, you have more traction and better control. Both with the DS2 grip shifter and with the optional trigger shifter; shifting is fast, instant and precise.
The DS2 shifter is great for shifting a number of gears up or down with a single action.
Instinctiv’s trigger shifter combines the best of two worlds; it offers an interaction that is resembling a derailleur shifter with the speed of a gearbox. Shifting like you are used to, only faster.

The Puma suspension platform of the M is all about breeding confidence. Downhill, gaining speed, the M sticks to the trail like you never felt before.
Climbing is equally important and efficient with a steep seat tube angle, a low center of gravity and a high 115% anti-squat ratio around sag.
Puma platform
Small lightweight rockers and upside-down-shock-mount reduce inertia of moving parts to an absolute minimum, on top of the derailleur and cassette being obsolete.
A large shock stroke and high quality Enduro bearings further guarantee a rear suspension that is highly responsive.
The M platform has a progressive leverage ratio which ramps up around sag point.
Out on the trails this means the suspension is sensitive yet big hit capable; providing a combination of mid range support and a nearly bottomless feel over jumps.
The M series have approximate 115% anti squat around sag point. This means the rear suspension does not compress undesirably as a result of your acceleration.
We rather see the watts you put out being put into speed on the trails, rather then mm of shock travel.
Anti-rise levels are optimal at 90 to 100% throughout the bikes’ suspension travel. This means the brake forces accurately compensate for any mass transfer; preventing the bike and rider from dangerously tilting forward under hard braking.
At the same time our levels below 100% ensure the suspension remains active and sensitive throughout your braking zone.
The gearbox’ weight is positioned low in the middle of the suspended frame right below the rider; this results in a playful bike that is easily maneuverable.
Combined with a steep 76° seat tube angle, this makes for an excellent climbing bike.
The shock is not linked to the primary rocker, which greatly reduces torsional forces and thus friction being transferred to the shock.
Together with limited rotation of the shock throughout its travel this makes for both a very durable and highly sensitive layout.
