My New Intense M6. Just the Facts...:biggrin:
I'm super stoked! I took it out for the first time on Wednesday evening.
It rides super awesome and it isn't even dialed yet. I rode a Yeti 303 for the last few years. Both are equally as good just in different ways. The Yeti is a pure bred racing machine and not much for the air IMO. The M6 loves to jump and feels great off the ground.
I can't wait to get more time on it!

Seat Collar: Azonic QR - 34.9
Wheels: Hope Bulb Laced to EX823's

That surprises me. I would have thought with the super low bb height and long travel the m6 wouldn't be that much of a jumper, more of a stick to the ground bike. Sweet ride!

Mines going to be cooler

Practically he same build.
Mines the red one btw.

 

[dhmike]

hella sweet m6 bike and frame !

 

[basikbiker]

fender looks retarded

 

[bpatterson6]

fender looks retarded

Thanks, but A. It keeps the mud and dirt out of my face and mouth and B. It keeps most of the downtube from being beat up by rocks, dirt and shuttling. So to me, it's worth it.

 

[boogenman]

I rode mine for the first time thursday, it was a lot better than I expected. I didn't really have a chance to jump yet

 

[TheInedibleHulk]

Bill Teselle's. Sorry, you lose.

 

[bpatterson6]

Bill Teselle's. Sorry, you lose.

I Disagree. I think they all look good!

 

[Dwdrums00]

Did you really say the M6 loves to jump? Are you serious...I hope not?

 

[caputo1989]

Did you really say the M6 loves to jump? Are you serious...I hope not?

Ill be the judge of that.

 

[bpatterson6]

Well as compared to my 303. YES.

 

[bpatterson6]

Ill be the judge of that.

You better learn to jump first. ...and I do mean without breaking your back. You realize that you CAN actually use your brakes for control. RIGHT?!?!?

Did you do telonics today?

 

[dexterq20]

Is it me, or do the graphics and logos on the M6 frame look really half-assed and unprofessional?

 

[PatBranch]

I think they look good. What do you think could be done to improve them?

 

[blue]

Agreed...the "M6" looks like sh!t, almost ripped off from the BMW M division logo, especially on the raw frame.

 

[caputo1989]

The gren pedals are only temporary.
I was just tying to keep up the ugly bike theme of mine but it just wont work out. Action shots soon to come tomorrow.

 

[caputo1989]

And Billy, i know how to jump, i just need to get my balls back from that accident.

Relax. I was just kidding.

 

[sunringlerider]

[bpatterson6]

Yeah that was us. Caputo1989's leg is broken near the ankle. He's out for the majority of the summer. lthumbsdown:

that sucks, but he looked like he had enough pain killers and beer to be feeling alright

 

[Motoking16]

Bill Teselle's. Sorry, you lose.

Hands down, this one wins

 

[FrontRangeDH]

[jcaramia]

[SpastikSlingkee]

[xabu78]

[Trekrules]

that's one mad build,how's the Bos fork???

 

[xabu78]

the ork is amacing, I should say that before I used to ride the fox 40 with the bos kit, so for me is a bit normal the bos sistems.....but if you want to dream just try them.

 

[Specializeddemo]

what size is your m6 CAPUTO??

 

[bpatterson6]

what size is your m6 CAPUTO??

His bike is a Medium.

 

[boogenman]

Here is my midnight blue. Looks a lot better in person or when taken by someone that can use a camera.

 

[Specializeddemo]

I think im gonna order one !!! Maybe buy CAPUTO's??? Awesome bikes guys

 

[stiksandstones]

That midnight blue is so damn nice.

 

[ZHendo]

i think the orange actually looks best, i haven't seen that color on an intense before and it suits the frame pretty well. all of these gorgeous dh bikes make me want to buy one.
