Duane_Bosch Posted July 24, 2017 Share They are supposed to be insane. Intense have really come back into the scene in a big way this year after seemly getting lost in the industry for a few years. The original Tracer was an all time favourite. I rode my DH bike and the Tracer on a shuttleable trail that I usually ride my Reign on. It felt like a SUPER light and nimble DH bike. I did one run on it and I was at home by the first corner. Disclaimer 1. The distributor is one of my oldest and best friends.Disclaimer 2. I stand by my statement. It's a bike for a gravity guy who can only have one bike. Nomad, Reign, Tracer. All pretty much the same thing with differing pricepoints.

Johnny Lawless Posted July 24, 2017 Share Yeah, I wouldnt mind an intense frameset. I have no plans on upgrading anything, but if I should come across a Tracer frame for a great price, well nothing is gonna stop me especially if its greenMDK! Feel like selling? Because Eddy feels like buying Traveler and Andrew_Smith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MildlyWild Posted July 24, 2017 Share Perfect for the Contermans Enduro this weekend...Although I might change the rear tyre, drop the seat a little and raise the handlebar a bit :-) Andrew_Smith and Mambat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - Just seen you dissed the Enduro in a previous post.... Spaz!Ask your friend to have a word with Jeff at Intense - their new colour schemes are revolting :-) Edited July 25, 2017 by Headshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz!Ask your friend to have a word with Jeff at Intense - their new colour schemes are revolting :-) Ha. I didn't diss the Spaz. I just said the tracer is better. At going downhill. I had a Ford Ranger to take me back up the hill. Maybe if I was pedaling I'd have a different opinion. And let's be fair here. The big S had a long travel 29er with proper geo way back in 2014. Or was it even 2013? My list of all time fave trailbikes is as follows. (Yes I've ridden them all. I didn't read the reviews) 1. 2017 Tracer (A Real DH bike that you can pedal)2. S Works Enduro (The Daddy)3. Rocky Instinct (Sentimental favorite. So easy to go so fast)4. Rocky Altitude (The guys said I was ripping on it)5. 2015 Reign (My Bike)6. Yeti SB6c (Alpine Special) That being said all the bikes above are amazing and I think you'd have to try quite hard to find a sh%t trail bike right now. I'm pretty sure the Primer is going to go somewhere in the top 3 when I get to ride it. T-Bob, Headshot, Hairy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon123 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Definitely going to go the route of an Intense Primer for a one-bike solution at the end of the year. I love my 2017 Trance Adv1, but on longer rides the 29" wheels could be handy... anyone in the market for a Trance?

Duane_Bosch Posted July 26, 2017 Share Definitely going to go the route of an Intense Primer for a one-bike solution at the end of the year. Have you ridden one? I think the Hanger have a demo bike. They look great. There's something very special about an Intense. T-Bob and Eddy Gordo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reden Posted July 27, 2017 Share http://14761-presscdn-0-15.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/EWS-1.jpgThat's them High Tower Team Bike. Three of them each with EWS colours and different undertone. The riders switch between the High Tower and Bronson. A fellow club member rides the Bronson. Stunning bike. I have not seen the High Tower in real life yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
