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.

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.
