Jun 2023 · Mick Kirkman
The Primer S offers superb control and grip, plus a great spec, but isn’t the most cohesive overall package
Distinctive Öhlins suspension feel that offers outstanding grip
E*thirteen carbon bar, stem and grips didn't need any setup work
Heavy, slower-rolling e*thirteen LG1 wheels
Handling doesn't feel intuitive and natural
Dated seat tube angle and ride feel

Nathan Hughes didn't hold back on the build for his mixed-wheel machine.

The 2021 Intense Primer 275 Pro is a bike that will give the rider confidence to charge hard and tackle most terrain with ease.
The Build Kit
Ground hugging feel
Cornering Traction
Grips are too thin
Not very playful on jibs
Would like a longer dropper

It’s a balanced, shred-ready bike...

Is the Intense Primer 29 Pro the Quiver Killer that the marketing makes out? Ex racing whippet Daz tries keeping up on the ups and downs.
Feb 2020
Intense's Primer S Pro marries a 29" wheel and 150mm of travel up front to 140mm of bounce and a smaller, fat tyred 650b wheel at the rear. It's a lightweight, good looking and high-end bike that offers a lot for the asking price, but the ride and suspension isn't quite as sorted as some similarly spendy rivals.

The Intense Primer has evolved with a broader purpose, and carries the entire weight of Intense's trail expectations on its shoulders.
Decent weight
Feels old school
