And that’s for a bare frame. Paint/ shock/ clamp will be extra thank you very much. I guess you can deduct the vat though.Frame weight from 1.79kg

New Intense Tracer 279. Joining the mullet craze.
Price hasn't gone stupid outrageous like everything else, but spec isn't amazing.
I quite liked the previous one - had a few rides on my mates. Strikes a nice balance between fast and planted, and poppy and playful.

I used to really like the idea and look of Intense bikes. Certainly you see very few of them on the trails.New Intense Tracer 279. Joining the mullet craze.

Their smaller reach has now been addressed but same size rear end is no good to me at XL..

Yeah same. Previous generation Tracer was a very nice looking bike and my mate's Recluse was a fun ride with incredible cornering traction. Build quality was abysmal though.

I mate of mine had and Intense Tracer and there was something really wrong with the frame alignment. It used to chew out pivot and wheel bearings like they were going out of fashion. They were incredibly difficult to deal with too in regards to warranty and he eventually just flogged it off.

Yeah it's really disappointing for frames that in many aspects have a lot going for them. I still have an old rocker link from a Recluse I use as a door stop (about the best use for it) because mate was having very similar issues to yours.
AFAIK the upper / lower suspension links and bearings are the only bits still being made by Intense in California.

Maybe I've just been blessed, but my pre-carbon tracer is nearing 10 years in the fleet and still kicking goals. I've had an issue with a pivot bolt loosening but that's as likely a mechanic issue as it is a quality issue. I service the pivots once or twice a year and it's still running the original bearings so it's definitely possible to get a good one that'll go the distance.
I do have a habit of breaking the bikes fall using my own flesh and bones though, so maybe another rider would trash it faster?

Yeah, but that'd weigh twice as much and only work twice as well.

Canyon Spectral 125 Review | A short travel ripper that won't be for everyone
Brand new for 2022, the Canyon Spectral 125 jumps into the lineup as a shrunken down version of the Spectral 29. So what sort of riding is it designed for? And why would you choose to have less travel than the regular Spectral? Read on for our Canyon Spectral 125 review.

I just told my mate, who is looking for a new bike, to get one of these yesterday. I really should put more effort in for him, but it's so hot.I'll just leave this here for @pink poodle

Guy down the road just bought the Al 6.
Looks like a good value build with Fox Rhythm, SLX drivetrain, SLX four pot brakes, and DT wheels for $4650.
Sizing is on the larger end. Normally I'm between M and L in most brands, definitely a M for this one...

An inspiring read! Well actually I found it poorly written and filled with wordy-words, but there was some key information in there about the type of riding this bike feels right for - poodle rides. I really should pull my shitI'll just leave this here for @pink poodle
