About this bike
Watch your competition choke with anxiety when you roll up on the wildly fast Intense Carbine. With 155mm of rear travel, 160mm up front, modern trail geometry, and a svelte carbon frame, you'll find yourself steamrolling enduro courses and railing local tracks with speed-boosting confidence.
