FAST. FLICKABLE. FUN.
Our 140mm/150mm travel Primer trail bike is pure perfection...everywhere. The Primer 275 has all of the DNA of its bigger wheeled sibling, the Primer 29, but this time on nimble 27.5" wheels. You still get trail-flattening speed over any obstacle, both on tough climbs and technical descents, but the smaller wheels make the bike slightly more responsive and agile, and better suited to tighter trails. In short, the Primer is the ultimate all-round performance trail bike, whether you prefer 29" or 27.5" wheels. It could be the only mountain bike you’ll ever need.

In short, the Primer 29 is the ultimate all-round premium trail bike. It could be the only mountain bike you’ll ever need.

PURE SPEED MACHINE.
With the Sniper T we have created a pure full-suspension cross-country trail bike with a true INTENSE spirit. With the same soul as its sibling the Sniper XC, it features a super lightweight full carbon frame, rolling on 29" wheels, with progressive XC trail geometry but this time with 120mm of travel. The extra 20mm of suspension means that the Sniper T is still all about off-road speed... both up and down, but that you get a slightly plusher ride. It is fast, fiery and fun, a truly innovative XC trail bike...INTENSE style.

FRO: FOR RACING ONLY.
The Sniper FRO has one purpose – to race. Built on the progressive Sniper XC frame we've set out to build one of the lightest production full-suspension XC bikes on the market. Featuring the new Rockshox Sid SL Ultimate Fork, Sid Luxe Ultimate RL shock and a full SRAM AXS XX1 drivetrain, the Sniper FRO is ready to leave it all out on the race course.
With 29" wheels and 155/160mm of travel, our Carbine 29 is very much the epitome of a big-wheeled long travel Enduro bike. With great handling characteristics, the Carbine loves high speeds and is right at home on endless gnarly challenging trails, laps in the bike park, or Enduro race stages. Just point and go.
For a long travel, big-wheeled bike the Carbine is super responsive, and with its modern long and slack geometry, it's aggressive but balanced, giving IT great stability and confidence, but also the maneuverability needed on tight and twisty trails. The carbon frame is composed, poised, and light in weight, giving great all-out speed and keeping a lively, playful feel. The Carbine will allow you to pick and choose your lines: it's nimble and controllable even on the steepest descents.
At home on rough and challenging trails, the Carbine can also climb any technical or longer drawn-out ascents with ease. The climbing position on the bike is perfect, and when things get technical, the suspension remains active all the time to provide excellent traction and great pedaling efficiency. The Carbine is fast everywhere.
The Carbine has competed at the highest level and has a pure race pedigree. In 2019 INTENSE team rider Isabeau Courdurier piloted her Carbine to overall victory at the Enduro World Series (EWS). Not only that, but she also won every single round on the way.

With 208mm of travel, 29" wheels, and flawless downhill geometry the M29 is our flagship bike, and it's a bike that's built for speed in the roughest and most brutal environments.
Our M-Series of downhill bikes have a history and race heritage that is unrivaled. It is an unbroken chain of evolution, from the original M1 back in 1994 right through to our current offering...the M29. This latest incarnation is the culmination of over 25 years of development, testing, tweaking, honing, and perfecting. The M-Series has moved with the times and we are confident to say that the M29 is the best downhill bike we have ever made.
Big 29" wheels help to carry huge amounts of speed and momentum and flatten terrain, so it was an easy choice for us. But of course, the beating heart of any bike is the frame. With the M29 we've used a very specific carbon lay-up to create a frame that is both stiff and strong, but that also has 'give' in all the right places. What this means is that you get a bike that allows you to take razor-sharp lines on the track, without getting beaten up or having a harsh ride, which is hugely important for a downhill bike. We've also concentrated on getting the contact patch of the large 29" front wheel just right to give you the perfect combination of grip and handling. You get amazing cornering, straight-line speed, accuracy, and precision.
