Intense Carbine 29C Factory review - MBR

Sep 2018 · Mick Kirkman

The all new Intense Carbine 29C is a 155mm travel enduro weapon rolling on 29-er wheels. We had a thrash of the top-end Factory model.

Highs
  • Pure monster truck ability.

Lows
  • Not the most agile or balanced in corners.

Intense Carbine 29C Expert review

Jun 2018 · Tom Marvin

The Intense Carbine is a bike that’ll tackle the big stuff, but won’t shy away from a big day in the hills. Buy if you want a long travel trail bike, or a nimble enduro bike

Highs
  • Neutral shape will suit many, really versatile ride that’ll do anything, go anywhere

Lows
  • Conservative geometry won’t appeal to those looking purely for descent focussed performance, Yari fork feels under-gunned

Jun 2017 · Christoph Bayer

After giving their Enduro-classic the Tracer a general overhaul, it was time to give the Intense Carbine 29 a face-lift. We tested the Factory Build.
