DH Field Test: Intense M1 - For Your Gnarliest Trails

Jun 2024 · Henry Quinney

Everything about this bike made it feel like a monster, and the confidence inspired on steep trails shouldn't be understated.

Highs
  • Shines on steeper, rougher trails

  • Stable chassis even under hard braking

  • Idler keeps the feet calm, no matter what the trail is doing

  • A race bike that will shine on the gnarliest trails

  • Easy to work on

Lows
  • Feels lifeless on some bike park trails

  • The frame is missing a few final finishing pieces: fork bumpers, proper chain slap protection (it hits against the housing), and housing rubs the top tube.

  • Doesn't offer much pop

  • Would benefit from more weight on the front
