Great job Tim! I love that camo paint, except during deer season! This ain’t gonna be a cheap bike, or I’d be really interested!

Wheelbase? Top tube I think you meant?

A 73� heat tube angle on a frame with 23.5″ top tube, much shorter and you’re in trouble with toe overlap! For the kind of riding you expect a 4″ travel bike to excel at, the 73� heat tube angle to me seems more “nervous” than “quick”.
Is Intense known to also put steep head tube angles (like 72�) on their 26″ bikes?

I like the new high-option though.

The weight of the medium frame is 5.4lbs.

5.4003lbs with camo paint.

Great follow up Tim! It’ll be more than a month before we see anything about this bike in the mags.

Any word on the weight? The camo paint is hot. They’re crazy if they don’t offer that color up as a standard option.
