Summary

The Intense Tracer is a high-performance enduro bike praised for its superb suspension, fantastic handling, and versatile design. It features updated geometry with a slackened head angle and steepened seat angle, along with JS Tuned suspension for improved stiffness and efficiency. While it excels in descents and rough trails, some reviews note its high price tag and the loss of a bottle mount on the frame.

Pros
  • Superb suspension and fantastic handling

  • Updated geometry for better stability

  • JS Tuned suspension for improved stiffness and efficiency

  • Versatile design suitable for various riding scenarios

Cons
  • High price tag

  • Loss of a bottle mount on the frame

  • Susceptible to weight shift on steep climbs

Intense Tracer 275C Factory review

Feb 2017 · Jon Woodhouse

It's hugely capable and confident, with planted suspension and a neutral character. Whether you can justify the cost of this build is another thing. Buy if you want an exclusive, high performance enduro bike and you are completely unconcerned about how much money it is

Highs
  • Superb suspension, fantastic handling and an absolutely top-end frame and build kit

It’s been said you need to crack a few eggs to make an omelet, but a better comparison for a great mountain bike would be a slow-roasted pork shoulder, hand rubbed with a carefully balanced blend of spices.
