During the initial development stages, the 6-link high pivot design allowed us to isolate, adjust, and customize every element of the M1’s ride characteristics. Our goal was to design a bike that would excel in all DH conditions on any track and honor the name and racing pedigree of our original M1 frames, which we produced in the 1990s. With the new M1, we’ve created a bike that can smash through the roughest terrain, generate speed, accelerate efficiently when pedaling, and stay active under braking.
