CRC Intense M9 at Val Di sole
- Thread starter Cordsport
- Start date
moar:
that downtube logo is very lapierre-esque
there isn't a shock installed, it's to keep the link from hitting the frame.
hmm did they abandon the 10.5 x 3.5 shock on this go around?
Wow! Looks awesome. A couple observations:
- frame doesn't say prototype on it anymore
- it still retains 3 different shock positions on the main triangle
- the lower link appears to have travel settings on it?? can anyone verify this?
- finally, it looks absolutely baller!!
Is this the production version?
EDIT: ah, finally got to see the press release info. very nice indeed.

That decal I made here at my desk because the final kits were not done yet. from a distance INTENSE will often look like the "L" brand you mentioned and a BMX brand with the word 'red' in it. Anyways, the final decals is more clear cut, outlined, etc.
Who cares really, the bike is f-ing bad ass.
M9 FRO qualifies #1, and she just got the bike last night http://dirt.mpora.com/world-cup/ragot-wins-womens-qualifying-val-di-sole-world-cup.html

And yes, bike is "f-ing bad ass". 
Have Intense ever made a bad looking bike? That things is gorgeous!
It's nice to see the trend of adjustability on DH race frames, and yeah, it looks bad add. One question for stiks: why the open dropouts for the rear axle? A fully enclosed thru axle system is noticeably stiffer, right?
Looks like Ragot's bike doesn't have the adjustability option on the headtube.
Stikman, will production be like the CRC Blue one, or liek the emmeline one, so with the normal 1.5 headtube, maybe standard with a Cane Creek angleset?
What shock options will there be? Availability? Pricing? geo info?

I could ride that.
Stik, the wheelsbase on all models is the same on the chart, even though the TT is 1" longer between the sizes, this info is for the small?
Christiaan,
that is a typo, sorry.
Dirt got the first copy, I will link you the release in a bit.
Cool,
Oh, just saw the pricing and expected delivery, kinda missed that at first glance!
I was thinking of switching from Intense to the carbon V10, after 10 years on Intense, but now it looks like I will stay with Intense

Kinda funny you mention the v10, rear-end/suspension on the M9 looks a lot like the V10, not trying to start a ****storm here.. I know this is a sensitive topic on the good ole RM, and it's merely a observation. I really dig the Red chrome looking M9 in the press release, will the production have the yellow links/dropouts? Not trying to rep McDonalds racing..
Each M rendition looks more and more like a V10.
Ha.
Ha.
As of right now, Standard colors will be racing red (our good ole Intense red, not that red chrome in the photo) Painted links is NOT standard. I only had race bikes to shoot, so sue me
So you are good on not reppin mcdonalds, or ferrari
tifosi!So you are good on not reppin mcdonalds, or ferrari
edit: is works blue a option too?

We are looking at Intense Racing Red, Black Chrome, Works Raw as standard colors and any other color is an upgrade (we do about 14 other colors, Chrome Blue is one of those fancy options)
Yeah, good question since they're both FRO. Well, I guess it's shiny and new and people like shiny new things.
Stik,
So how much would the Chrome Blue/CRC Blue upgrade be over the standard USd 2999?
+1
-1+1
My M3 still alive. I have a bunch of 9.5 x 3.0. Now I have a reason to get a M9here are those "upgrade" again...

Custom Paint up-charge is $200 and you can choose from any of the 14 colors that are not offered stock, ie Red, Chrome Black and works Raw. There are 14 custom colors to choose from and many are the same as they offered on last years line.
Availability is my #1,I dont want to miss out on a other year with no dh riding.I have a job and I work insane hours for to own again a quality dh machine made in the usa like this one.
I hope I will be able to ride sept,oct and that this will be out.
Price at this point doesn't matter because there is no price for happiness.
