Intense Primer 29 Expert review

Apr 2021 · Tom Marvin

A classy-looking, smooth-riding trail bike that needs work to get it riding just-so

Highs
  • Lovely finish, head-turning looks. Smooth-feeling suspension, well-considered parts list

Lows
  • More mid-stroke support would help in most trail situations

Review: 2021 Intense Primer 275 Pro

Feb 2021

The 2021 Intense Primer 275 Pro is a bike that will give the rider confidence to charge hard and tackle most terrain with ease.

Highs
  • The Build Kit

  • Ground hugging feel

  • Cornering Traction

Lows
  • Grips are too thin

  • Not very playful on jibs

  • Would like a longer dropper

Intense Primer S Pro 2020 review

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.
