Intense Recluse Review: A Spider on Steroids

Aug 2016 · Jim Buchanan

Intense Spider 275C Factory first ride - MBR

Jun 2016 · Mountain Bike Rider

The Spider 275C scurries uphill over loose and technical terrain with efficiency and reliable traction

Highs
  • The Spider 275C accelerates quickly, while the aggressive geometry and Fox Factory suspension make for a playful descender, too

Lows
  • DT Swiss 1200 XRC wheels’ narrow internal rim width caused unwanted tyre roll during aggressive riding. The Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres could do with more front-end traction under hard cornering

The Spider 275 Carbon Boost is the latest offering from Intense and the mid-travel trail bike fits neatly into the Temecula, Calif. brand’s venerable lineup. With 27.5-inch wheels, adjustable 115 mm or 130 mm rear travel, a 67-degree head angle, short 419 mm chainstays, and generous 445 mm reach (size medium), the Spider 275 represents a new breed of light and snappy but surprisingly capable mid-travel trail bikes.
