Intense Carbine Elite (2018)

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 Elite build gets you top-level components for the best blend of performance and value. Suspension components include the beastly RockShox Lyrik fork and Super Deluxe RC3 shock combo, and SRAM's XO1 Eagle/TruVativ Descendant Carbon drivetrain offers a huge gear range for blasting up, down, and over every type of trail imaginable. 30mm-wide Intense wheels laced to DT 350 hubs create a stable platform for the Maxxis 29 x 2.40 Minion DHR II tires, while SRAM Guide RS hydraulic disc brakes paired to 180mm rotors ensure you're in complete control at every turn.
