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
