Overview
About this bike
A downhill-inspired XC bike might sound conflicting, but at Intense, it's reality. With more aggressive geometry than traditional XC race rigs, the Sniper lineup provides more stability at speed and down demanding race courses and trail networks. The Sniper is setting the benchmark for lightweight frames that offer confidence-inspiring geometry and peak pedal efficiency. The Sniper rewards fitness on long, epic rides/races while allowing you to conserve energy on technical terrain or downhills. The Sniper XC Expert build offers performance level components at an aggressive price point. Key standouts are Fox Performance suspension, a 12-speed NX Drivetrain, and a lightweight Stan's Crest wheelset.
