Intense’s Carbine has a relatively short lineage, albeit one that has been part of Intense’s move from a race only frame builder to complete bike company pushing out some of the industries most revered carbon frames. Back in 2011, it was a little 26-inch shod, 140mm to 152mm travel all-mountain frame that brought with it a whole new level of stiffness and durability to the Intense line-up.

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.

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

A long travel 29er worthy of the Intense name? Word on the street is that it's the best non-DH Intense ever...

The new 29-inch, 155mm travel Carbine is more rally car than trophy truck, but that won't stop you from smashing your way down some rowdy trails. This one left us grinning ear to ear.
