Lower link driven shock VPP (presumably short travel)? Rideable? What say RM?

Palmer and friends reading teh monkey?!
That thing for sure seems to have some potential
But why bending a Thomson seatpost?

 

[jonKranked]

well, it finally happened. intense figured out a way to weld carbon so it too can be out of alignment

looks a lot like the Nomad mule that was ditched due to lack of water bottle mounts.

 

[ianjenn]

Did he win on it? Then no it's not rideable.....

 

[kidwoo]

Whoohoo!

That thing looks rad.

 

[Beef Supreme]

That disturbance in the force is @jstuhlman 's boner.

 

[jstuhlman]

bwahahahaha.
















you're damn right it is. especially if, as the article suggests, it's the prototype for a crabon version. they killed my dreams when they released teh new uzzi in alu only.

 

[StiHacka]

Is this is one of the early prototype mules of the new Uzzi?

 

[trib]

new socom allegedly

That doesn't really mean that much though. It's pretty common for Intense to revive a name with an entirely different type of bike. I'm guessing it slots in between the tracer and the Uzzi based on the wheel travel.

Honestly, one of my favorite things about Intense is that they will make different bikes don't make sense as a line of bikes.

bong shed bikes

 

[SylentK]

No bong holder, no care.

 

[csermonet]

did someone say bong? where?

 

[4130biker]

If you look closely, the strange top tube is actually a bong, making this bike the first ever "VPB".

"Internal routing of hoses"

They should make a model called the "Scuzzi"

It will ship wrapped in one of those giant beanies:

Yup, from the archives:

woah.. NSMB just dropped a sweet Shock Rate article

 

[Jm_]

It's probably called the "M60" or the "5.56mm" or the BAR.

Did that really happen cuz this is they way the Nomad should have been made?

Edit: Ah, read the old thread. No reason given for abandoning the idea.

Another pic just because:

Nice direction for the design. I think the top tube/downtube kinks look like shit, but nobody cares. Should be very rideable.

FWIW, the old thomson layback posts were kinked about that far down, rather than having an offset head.

I do! They look like Canyon, Mondraker, KHS, you name it....

Maybe a model for the nerds:

Intense SCSI.
