DH Intense M6 Build Thread - COMPLETE PG10 - ***need helmet suggestion PG12***

[peachy]

Love it man, looks absolutely amazing
It will get super not clean soon so enjoy it while it lasts, white DH bikes are a bitch

Thanks bro, I just need to get out and ride it more!
And I don't mind about the dirt, Muc-Off is my savior! I actually enjoy cleaning my bike with muc off, such a good cleaner man, get into it!

Quote from the linked article: "Both the direct mount and top crowns come standard with custom Ti hardware to save weight as well. Hope claims the FOX40 Stem/Crown weighs in at 302g and the Boxxer at 265g. Comparatively to get a setup this light with a conventional crown and stem combo, you’d have to mount a ~100g stem!"

Nah man, even with a good clean, they get all scratched up

Just get a Point One DM like me, they weigh <100g

I'm thinking that it'll be too much gold with gold pedals. Gold pins however.....

Thanks dude Much appreciated. A lot of hard work has gone into earning the cash to build it.

Hey Peachy that came up real good, those forty's look sick as.

 

[INTENSE DHER]

that is TITS! well don, i want your forks.

 

[rtd]

Holy moly macaroni, nice! Good decision going the white lowers. Get that hope top crown/stem, it will match your CK headset amazingly.

Must feel great to be on your dream bike - get out and do bulk runs!

 

[sockman]

Absofarkinlutely bangin! At first I thought it was going to be a bit of a budget build.. But shit, that spec!

I would've preferred the black lowers though... A little bit of contrast is nice me thinks.

 

[Adamski]

Nice rig mate. Surprised you aren't running the levers further inboard, those Tech levers put the lever a long way from the clamp and so much power than one finger is all you need.

Check out the Chunked stems. Aussie made, lighter than Hope and a really nice wide clamp. Chunked

 

[revell]

Looking very nice mate! good to see she went to a good home...

Also, ive still got the FOX RC4 if you want that in the rear? it rode so well with that in there!

 

[hypo]

Hey Peachy that looks $hit hot dude !!!!!!!!!!

 

[jamie]

really nice, hope you enjoy the ride as much as the build, keep us posted on the folks.

Thanks for all the inputs and compliments guys, much appreciated.

Now..... I've recently rooted my full face, so it's conveniently time for a new one. Now the question is, which helmet will semi match the bike.

Yeah I likey too, I really though can't decide between the others. Do you have any photos of yours in real life? It's hard to make a decision based on photos.


As for POC... Nah, I don't like simplicity in helmets, I like the wham bam MX influence on DH gear.

Yeahhh man, ill get some tomorrow and send them your way!
I got the Pinstripe cause its stealth plus it can go with any kit/bike

 

[driftking]

I like the medusa helmets but the pin strip is a good option looks good and it will alwasy go with any new kit you decide to get.

I also like poc, quite impressed with the technology they use, however i dont know what TLD do so it could be exactly the same. POC seem's to be making good ground in improving protection while maintaining and improving mobility.
