If you're dropping the money on a $6000 bike, you owe it to yourself to test ride them and figure out the sizing that way. I'm assuming you're 167cm, because if you were 167mm you'd be about 6 inches tall. Try a small, try a medium, and see what feels better. And it might be worth it to try out other similarly spec'ed bikes since you're spending that much money, just in case another bike's geometry fits you better.

Thanks Zephyr11!
The main reason coz I order the frame from website, unable to try it. And I am 5'6" height, if not focus on Tracer 275, whether I should choose the seat tube length around 16" of mountain bike from my height?
Thanks!

Intense is smart and helpful enough to publish their reach and stack figures for their bikes. THAT is your vital info for purchasing a frame. Compare the numbers to the reach and stack of what you already ride and like.
