This maximum weight limits include the rider weight plus gear and luggage (helmet, clothing, backpack, luggage carrier, etc.). Make sure to adhere to your suspension manufacturer’s recommended weight limits, as they may have lower weight limits.
All sizes are given in millimeters, unless stated otherwise.
* with a saddle stack of 40mm, a dropper post of 125 mm for size medium and a dropper post of 150 mm for sizes large and extra large.
Stand straight with your back against a wall and place a book on your head. Make sure the book is parallel with the floor and at right angles to the wall, touching the wall. Make a mark on the wall with tape and measure the distance between the bottom of the book and the floor.
Stand straight up with your back against a wall. Take a book and tuck it between your legs. Pull up the book, simulating the pressure of sitting on a bike saddle. Make a mark on the wall with tape and measure the distance between the top of the book and the ground.
The patented puma suspension platform is the core of the Ocelot M. It makes the bike super smooth, fast and gives you more control than ever.
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.
The Ocelot M gearbox drivetrain offers automotive quality, worry free durability and a super silent ride. Choose for a chain or belt drive, grip or trigger shifting.
The gearbox mountain bike drivetrain gives you more control as your rear wheel is lighter. That means more grip, more confidence.
The magnesium Pinion gearbox is almost maintenance free and eliminates the risk of bending or breaking your derailleur.
Shifting a Pinion mountain bike is up to five times quicker then shifting a derailleur bike. And you can even shift when coasting or standing still. It takes a few hours to get used to, but gearbox shifting is surely a big step forward.
The Ocelot M has a progressive suspension character. This way the suspension is supple and sensitive around sag, yet big hit capable. Plush with little risk of bottoming out. How progressive a bike is depends primarily on the regression of the leverage ratio.
The Ocelot M has an anti-squat value of around 115% at sag across all gears thanks to our chainline not being affected by gear shifts.
Anti-squat values come down throughout the bikes’ travel: from more than 120% down to less than 90%. This way our team crafted a very efficient yet lively suspension platform.
The Ocelot M benefits from very little pedal kickback. Especially at high speed, in heavier gears kickback is negligible.
This is a major benefit because it means the suspension remains fully active and sensitive during quick descends, even when pedaling.
Anti-rise levels are optimal at 90 to 100% throughout the bikes’ suspension travel.
This means that brake forces accurately compensate for any mass transfer during deceleration. Not only at sag-point but at any point throughout the bikes’ travel.
The Ocelot M platform is designed to offer a near vertical initial axle-path. A vertical or rearward axle path improves the suspension’s smoothness.
When the vectors from trail obstacles and the wheel path are more in line this results in the suspension being compressed rather than the bike being ‘held back’.
Various shocks can be used in combination with the M platform. Shock specifications and stroke are similar for the Ocelot M, Coyote M and Jackal M. The following combinations have been validated:
Float X 185 x 55 mm Trunnion
Float DPX2 185 x 55 mm Trunnion
Float DPS 185 x 55 mm Trunnion
Super Deluxe 185 x 55 mm Trunnion
