Intense Tracer 275 Carbon

[MB]

Hi all,

We are super excited to announce an all new model from Intense: Tracer 275 Carbon. This bike is the first step in a huge change in the Californian company. Stay tuned for more on this but for now please feast your eyes on this stunning new bike! Intense have just gone live on their website with the launch, full details here:

http://intensecycles.com/


Just some basic info for now:

- 27.5" wheels ONLY
- 160mm rear travel
- 13.5" bb height
- 17" chainstays
- RockShox Monarch + RC3 HV shock standard
- Same weight as Carbine 275

We have stock of these bikes NOW. The only delay to you getting one of these badboys is how long it will take you to get to your local bike store. As per usual I will be available to answer any questions on this bike either here or via PM.

Enjoy!

Nice. Rode the Tracer 275 ally in Bend, Oregon last year. It was a great ride but I really noticed the bulk in comparison to my Ibis Mojo HD. The 275 in carbon would be trick.

Pretty sure 26" wheels will fit. Drop the bb 0.5" as well.

That sounds a better idea.

My word that's a stunning looking bicycle.

I wonder what the HA will be?

Hmm not bad, and in my head this is how I'd ride it

The head angle is 66.5 degrees.

Interesting article. I wonder how they would cope in Australia Gravity Enduro's or at least QLD ones. My Carbine loves it and CK has certainly been flying on his Tracer 275.

It's a 34, just a standard one... I do know what fox have coming though, even though I work for the opposition...

Yep, it's press fit 92.

Thanks for all the feedback so far!

As hot of a bike as that looks,
to my total untrained eye, that indent looks like a weak point that could be the cause of a crack in the frame



Has there been major testing of the frame to ensure that this isn't going to cause problems after a few hundred rock gardens and drops?

 

[SOTTA]

Are these ones going to be available as a whole bike or just frame-sets?

Good question. Yes there has been very substantial testing of this area of the bike. This indented feature has been on Intense Carbon frames since gen 2 Carbine, we see this feature on Carbine 26, 275 & 29, Spider 29 Comp and now on Tracer 275C. We have never seen one fail in this area. Ever. If you saw the bike in the flesh you'd see that there is a massive amount of material in this area, but thanks for the feedback - It's important.

damn my Carbine is already obsolete haha

so whats your thoughts? will they be dropping the Carbine 275? how is this positioned with the Carbine in the line up?

 

[Andrei]

Yes I'm also wondering about this ^^^^

The Tracer and the Carbine look very similar on paper. Their geo is almost identical.

Your bike has to be one of the sexiest "obsolete" bikes on the planet!
