Intense introduces the all new carbon Carbine frame

The all new Intense Carbine is their first carbon fibre full suspension mountain bike frame. The Carbine has been in development for the past 3 years and what has come out in the end is an absolute monster of an all mountain bike. The frame features adjustable 5.5 - 6 inches of travel and weighs in at 5.5 pounds! State of the art engineering and technology, along with the vision and design of Jeff Steber, has culminated in the production of our most alluring and inspired mountain bike design to date. "We combined the best of the best" says Steber, "American design with German engineering." Intense employed the services of German firm, SEED Engineering to match its vision with their expertise in carbon-fiber product development and engineering. The brains behind SEED come from years of experience in carbon fiber manufacturing. “We use all the great technology there is, but especially keep a focus on providing the best product”, says SEED engineer, Thomas Harter. The outcome is remarkable: a do-it-all trail bike with a dual personality. "We took the original DNA of the famous Tracer VP and re-designed and improved it using carbon fiber construction”, says Steber. The Carbine is proving to be Intense’s best all-around trail bike. The combination of the properties of carbon fiber and the magic of patented VPP suspension makes the new Carbine a segment leader. Intense Cycles
