[R]eviewed: Intense Carbine 29 Expert

Jan 2019 · Matt Holmes

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.

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

Intense ups the ante with a bigger, more aggressive 29er enduro rig with 155mm rear travel. Geometry is thoroughly updated with a 66 degree head angle and all the modern numbers. Read on to see how it performs. - Mtbr.com

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

Jun 2017 · Hurricanejoel

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.
