Time for a small update from us. As you know the name Undomestic was not the best choice, at least it did not lead to the associations with native English speakers that we were hoping for. So we started a new process of name finding and registration, which led to our new name.

It took some time to register the new name, but here it is: Instinctiv. We believe it sounds good and conveys the message.

End of June we were with our team at our testing location in Croatia with two Kodiak's. It was the first time we could swing a leg over the bikes and ride them on two local UCI trails that we know very well. The trails are rocky and at some sections very technical and demanding, so the perfect test for the durability of the frames and construction.

We could test our bikes back to back with a Zerode, Hightower LT and a Spectral that we brought. The suspension and drivetrain are working very well. We are now finetuning some components and at the same time working on a full website, our ambassador program, cool video's, minor updates to our decals and bike colors.

More prototypes are on the way for testing and the bikes we have are tested continuously to detect any defects that might appear over time.

New name is sweet guys! A much better fit for what your bike and brand.

The bike looks absolutely spectacular also.

I'm riding a Zerode at present but this is now a strong contender for when i change.

"Instinctiv" is a far better name. I like the looks of that bike, too; it's like a Mondraker but with a gearbox.

Usually not a fan of bikes with this style of design, but I really love the look of it. Any info on travel or geo numbers?

As you guys have been following us and helping us with valuable remarks during last year, it is nice to mention that we have sold the first bikes, are manufacturing small quantities of the new Kodiak now and that our website is finally live. Thanks for all your input and interesting discussions!

Very cool bikes. I haven’t looked at numbers but that seat post looks like it could be shorter and steeper. But the aesthetics of the bike are very very good.

Great looking bike! I personllay like the look and that green is a wonderful colour. I think going forwards there are only two small things I would change:
1. A black frame, everyone loves a black frame

2. Sell that trigger shifter! So many people want in on a pinion frame, but are turned away by the gripshift! I know it would sell amazingly

Great work and please keep it up! Love to see it

That bike looks really cool. If I had $10,000 to spend on a mountain bike, I'd seriously consider it.

Whoa whoa whoa, way to skip the main headline, that shifter! Although I have to ask, only single upshifts? Price is a bit ouch too, even as good looking as it is.
