Hooray for insane seat-tube angles, and crazy ass paint jobs! If there's two things I really enjoy about riding, it's tipping over backwards on climbs and having all my friends make fun of me for riding a Jackson Pollock painting.
you should reenact this video, but have someone standing with a shovel just out of view throwing some dirt at youLook at those things fucking flex!!
Yeah hook me up man!
Intense sure seems to know (or at least think) that their user base is all 40 year old dentists. Their color schemes have become unbearable flashy, prices are insane ($3100 for the "cheap" layup frame), and while they have a pretty baller world cup team right now (with Jack Moir obviously able to do some crazy shit on bikes), they keep using Kovarik and other "glory days" riders. Not to say that Kovarik isn't rad, but that video sure wasn't.
I was excited to see this coming in to this week, but meh.....
I rode a Primer for a couple days in Colorado earlier this month, and I freaking loved it. As a long time 29er hold out, it was a damn fun bike. 130/140 had me grinning. The steep STA, short CS length, and low BB I liked so much on that bike did not make the new Carbine cut. Sad day.
That new Rallon looks to check a lot of the boxes.

@kidwoo has a tramp-stamp? Who knew?
They lost me when they ditched the (now) small wheels.
If i paid $10,399 for a bike which looked like this, i would not be a happy person.
Why the hell would I pay $2K more for a bicycle that has about 100/th the technology or engineering behind it than this?
I'd like to watch this video, but I'm afraid intense (like other companies) will use this as "People are interested boss! 20k people watched the video! They all want our 29'er!". It is marketing material. Isn't it?
