Complementing the frame is a new JS Trail Link system, which offers incredible performance on mixed terrain thanks to its ideal curve through the travel with a positive pedal platform, which ensures the INTENSE Primer is well-suited to both long climbs and chunky descents. - Primer S "279" Trail Monocoque Carbon Frame - Fox Performance 36 150mm fork - Fox Performance DPX2 shock - SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain - E13 LG1 Enduro Race wheels with Intense alloy hubs
