rider weight
We recommend a maximum rider weight of 100 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.
The X9 is long and slack for a trail bike and designed for one purpose only. To make your ride smoother, faster and with more control. Both during a technical climb and riding downhill full speed.
A steep seatpost angle allows you to climb comfortably, keeping weight on the front wheel.
The long reach allows you to feel planted ‘in’ rather than ‘on top’ of your bike.
The slack head tube angle, combined with a short fork offset and stem gives you great stability and confidence yet still gets you through a tight switchback.

reviews
- Enduro MTB
“The Instinctiv scores points with its plush suspension and central riding position. The Pinion gearbox ensures a low centre of gravity and is beautifully integrated into the frame.”
- BIKE magazine
- Ride.ch
“Although the Instinctiv M9 only has 140 millimeters of rear travel, it rides extremely smooth and feels like a downhill bike on the trail. Thanks to the Pinion gearbox and a good chain guide, it doesn’t make any noise and is unusually quiet on the descent.”
