Overview
About this bike
Intense's Carbine 29 Foundation Build is such a showstopper that it should come with its own fog machine and light show. Sit astride the full carbon monocoque frame with 125-140mm of travel—courtesy of the JS Tuned suspension and the RockShox Monarch shock—and you'll start to understand what makes this trail shredder so pinned. RockShox's Pike fork soaks up the big hits and small chatter with equal ease thanks to its 160mm of plush travel. All that squish comes in handy when you're rolling on Sun Helix 29-inch wheels with properly wide Maxxis High Roller II tires that cruise over rocks and roots with ease. To add to the speed, Shimano's got you covered with a Deore/SLX drivetrain that glides smoothly into the right gear for the climbs, the flats, and the descents. It’s topped off with tough Intense components so you get miles and miles out of this trail ripper.
