The exceptionally versatile Intrigue X was designed to expand your trail capabilities, from technical descents to nimble and efficient climbs, and all the exhilarating flowy goodness in between. Extremely customizable with adjustable geometry, frame storage, and wheel options, the Intrigue X delivers extra performance and fun.
Performance Mid Travel Trail
Constructed with lightweight and durable ALUXX SL-grade aluminum, the frame boasts integrated down tube storage — a sleek solution for additional space to store your tools and snacks. Paired with 140mm of Maestro rear suspension and 150mm of front suspension, you’ve got the ultimate trail bike that’s efficient on the ups and shreds on the downs.
Adjustable Frame Geometry
For ultimate adjustability, the Intrigue X features flip chip – Maestro 3 and the new flip chip – headset allowing you to customize the overall riding geometry to suit the trail, your riding preferences, and rear wheel choice*. Not only can you change the head tube angle, seat tube angle, and bottom bracket height — you can now adjust your headset position to achieve either a short, mid, or long reach. These fine-tuning adjustments optimize your riding position for better handling and stability, wherever your bike takes you. *Rear wheel size change available for M and L only.
Best of Both Wheels
Frame sizes XS and S are solely designed for a MX configuration – 29-inch wheel up front and 27.5-inch wheel in the rear. This set up optimizes rear wheel travel, allows a playful and nimble rear end and a fast rolling, stable front end. Frame sizes M and L come equipped with 29-inch wheels up front and in the rear with the ability to run a 27.5-inch wheel in the rear*. This provides two unique riding characteristics – fast and comfortable or quick and nimble – allowing you to customize your set up for how and where you ride. *27.5-inch wheel sold separately for frame sizes M and L.

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.
We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
