Could the key to eternal youth lie in the a Californian dream with wide wheels and voluminous tyres? Here's our Intense ACV Pro review.
Has pace and class in abundance.
Gets out of its depth relatively easily.

At this current point in mountain bike history, it’s more surprising when a company has something to show us that isn’t Plus or Plus compatible. The new option seems to be spreading quickly, mostly due to the fact that the newest generation of 29ers can be an either/or scenario. Intense is doing things a little differently. …

With my usual go-to rebound setting on the Pike, when I bowled into a particularly awkward rough section of trail where the rocks are firmly embedded in the soil, protruding enough to easily push you off-line, the front of the bike was harder to control, lacking the precision needed to get through the section with momentum intact.
In the right conditions, the ACV and its 2.8in tyres offer more traction and the ability to brake later
Great looking, nicely packaged machine
The low profile treads struggle at any sign of moisture

When 27.5 plus first nosed its way into the sport, I wasn’t the only one who thought it was best suited to beginner riders and rental fleets. But it turns out, bike designers had other ideas. As one engineer told me, “I didn’t want to like it, but I did.”
