Thanks!
Thank you, I've been waiting for this for at least 5 minutes!
This has been a long time coming. Looks good.
Clone of Sc v10?
Backwards upper link and whatnot... Meh, everyone knows the VPP has seen its better days.

Honestly, I hate you. Quoting The Joker: "Where does he get such wonderful toys?"

Yeah, I'd say it's to save prototyping costs, but hydroforming isn't any cheaper.
It's the new intense DH proto,probably it's one of the first pics of this model on the internets, soon they will release more info, expect in carbon in 5-6 months.
P.D: this photo model was stolen, intense DH proto frame red, group X01 7sp, Boxxer WC, stan's notubes..
It's impossible to achieve this bike at the moment, so it will be easy to recognize it if someone sees

Given they both have the same suspension design, two wheels, some brakes, fork, gearing stuff.... the Intense and Santa Cruz DH bikes are going to be very similar.
Sweet Jebus...

An intense dh that's not a clam shell? How will we manage?
You're such a tease. I bet you have a bunch of these photos yet you release only 1 per day.
does it have select fire?
freal though, i saw this on IG earlier and was bummed they didnt pair it with an m16.. #MURICA

I demo'd a 951 Evo last fall. I don't know if it was clapped out or just an Intense, but holy fuckballs it was the loudest bike I've ever ridden.
It is a normal problem of the larger wheel size. A 951 Evo is, compared to a 26" 951, 5% louder and the sound will travel 1.5% farther. It is an additional benefit of the larger wheels so you don't need to upgrade your bell to a 27.5 model. You go moar fasterz but because the bike is moar loudz hikers will have the same or more time to react and jump into the ditch on the side of the trail to avoid ruining you KOM.
Rob Roskopp take my money!
Am I the only one that sees nothing to get excited about here? Guess I'm not 'murikan enough...
Same here
Nope....
If you're not a fan of 27.5 wheels then it's probably no more drool worthy than an updated M9. I think the bike is pretty rad personally, but I'm also fine with the idea of DH bikes rolling on larger wheels.
27.5? Please, this is the ever-innovative Intense we're talking about here. 29er all the way!

intense is not so big brand at the moment, even nukeproof is bigger.. lets see if intense can get recognition back through team in wc competition.
in other way, intense might end up as FOES.( relatively bleak, un innovative company)

Do you have any data to support this (sale numbers, revenue, etc...)? Not hating, genuinely curious.
my opinion .. hardly hear about intense in Europe
meanwhile plenty of german newcomers are intriguing, such as Solid bikes not mention the price.
intense dh looks a little better than sc10, but just another boring clone anyway.

In my area, ive seen a mass amount of Intense bikes popping up on the trails lately compared to any other brand.
Canada has a World Cup Intense Team with a member who won National Champs at MSA on an M9. Who regulary races and qualifies for WC's and EWS Enduro.
Intense has put out 3 brand new bikes (1 award winning) in the 1.5 years.
Im not sponsored by them, but have 4 Intense bikes and have nothing but good to say about them.
I think its all about the area you are in. Trust me, over here on the East Coast of Canada, I have never seen a Nuke Proof.
Comparing Intense to FOES as a company is pretty far fetched. Look who Intense has as their brand Ambassadors
I also read alot on here about their customer service, and misaligned frames etc.
Jeff himself, Sam their Customer service rep and Rick their top Welder answer peoples personal questions all the time over on MTBR with regards to specs, set up and general issues.
Just some points to think about.
Really liking the stealth black aluminum.
