Overview
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. The Foundation build brings a high-caliber bike to the masses with a more pocket-friendly spec. RockShox suspension components include a Yari fork and Deluxe RT3 shock combo, and SRAM's value-packed 11-speed NX Eagle drivetrain offers quick shifting for blasting up, down, and over every type of trail imaginable. 30mm wide Race Face AR wheels create a stable platform for the Maxxis 29 x 2.30 Highroller II tires, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes paired to 180mm rotors ensure you're in complete control at every turn. Expert Build Highlights: - 160mm front / 155mm rear travel - 29” wheel size - Integrated BOOST 148 x 12 dropouts - Standard Frame with steel hardware and alloy top link - Internal cable routing - Internal seat tube cable routing for dropper posts - Monocoque front triangle - Water bottle fitment - Downtube and chainstay flack guard protection - Tapered head tube - Angular contact/collet bearing system with replaceable grease zerks
