Instinctiv: Revolutionizing Mountain Biking with Cutting-Edge Technology
Instinctiv is a dynamic company driven by a team of passionate Dutch engineers and designers who are also avid cyclists and downhill enthusiasts. Their mission is to create state-of-the-art full suspension enduro bikes that embody their vision of mountain biking.
Innovative Design and Sustainability
At the core of Instinctiv’s bikes is an all-carbon frame, made from 7% recycled fibers. This frame is not only compact and athletic, but it also draws inspiration from nature. Thanks to its innovative design, the frame delivers exceptional suspension responsiveness, making it perfect for the most challenging trails.
The M Series: Performance Redefined
The M series takes Instinctiv’s bikes to the next level with its central gearbox, which enhances both intuitiveness and speed. To ensure peak performance, the M range is equipped with premium components from top partners like Fox, Pinion, Maxxis, and Crankbrothers. Are you ready to conquer the hills?
My Contribution to Instinctiv’s Journey
I had the privilege of working with the Instinctiv team for a year, contributing to their exciting journey of innovation. My role involved several key tasks that helped bring their vision to life.
Bike Configuration Renderings and 3D Modeling
I created website bike configuration renderings and engaged in 3D modeling of various parts of the M series. This process involved a great deal of collaboration, particularly in the selection and color combinations that aligned with Instinctiv’s brand identity.
Prototyping and Assembly
Furthermore, I had the opportunity to assemble the initial bike prototypes, which you can see below. This hands-on experience allowed me to be a part of the development cycle from concept to prototype, ensuring the bikes met the company’s high standards for quality and performance.
