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.

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.
