The presentation of the "Carbine 29" is a surprise in the all-mountain segment, as Intense is another manufacturer that has opted for the 29-inch concept instead of 27.5-inch. The Californians also seem to be convinced by big wheels in the enduro and all-mountain segment. The concept may be reminiscent of the "Enduro 29" from Specialized, but the look is very similar to the recently presented Scott Genius LT.

The 67-degree head angle is particularly striking, which is surprisingly slack for a 29-inch bike. However, with the full carbon frame, the VPP rear suspension system and the aggressive geometry, Intense wants to pack even more decisive advantages into its new all-mountain bike. The rear triangle has 140 millimetres of travel, while the new Rock Shox "Pike" with 160 millimetres works at the front. The 51 mm trail of the fork is designed to achieve particularly balanced, agile handling. The "Carbine" is supplied with a "Reverb Stealth" as standard, with all other cables and lines routed internally.

The official presentation of the bike is scheduled for Eurobike.
