Intense Primer S review

Jun 2023 · Mick Kirkman

The Primer S offers superb control and grip, plus a great spec, but isn’t the most cohesive overall package

Highs
  • Distinctive Öhlins suspension feel that offers outstanding grip

  • E*thirteen carbon bar, stem and grips didn't need any setup work

Lows
  • Heavy, slower-rolling e*thirteen LG1 wheels

  • Handling doesn't feel intuitive and natural

  • Dated seat tube angle and ride feel
