No holds barred.

The Intense Tracer 27.5 Carbon Expert Complete Mountain Bike represents much of what sets the modern generation of trail bikes above those that came before. The beautiful carbon fiber frame takes full advantage of Intense's pedigree, with aggressive geometry and finely tuned VPP suspension. It's a fitting foundation for the Shimano XT build kit and Stan’s NoTubes wheelset, which, much like the frame, are incredibly tough, despite their light weight. If you want a bike that will gladly tackle everything you can throw at it, you came to the right place.


You probably already know about Intense’s long history with American-made aluminum, so we’d forgive you if you had some questions regarding the Tracer’s carbon fiber construction. But Jeff Steber and co. aren’t the type to cut corners, so Intense brought in consultants from the composite wizards at SEED Engineering. We don’t use the term “wizards” lightly, either, and the firm’s extensive experience in building carbon fiber structures was tapped to make the best possible use of the material. The Made in USA ethos still stands, though, thanks to the fact that all the links and hardware are built in Temecula, alongside Intense's aluminum models. This ensures that your bike benefits from the best of modern composite construction and maintains the soul you'd expect from an Intense.


Both the front and rear triangles are constructed as a whole, rather than bonding them together from sub-assemblies. This construction method has been well-proven on Intense’s Carbine models, but the Tracer employs a different blend of materials and a finely tuned layup that shave additional weight, while maintaining maximum strength. This keeps the frame weight at 5.3 pounds for a medium frame, while maintaining the strength and stiffness necessary for the most aggressive riders to keep it pinned in terrain that would have lesser bikes shaking in their boots.


The Intense Expert build kit starts with an Evolution series FOX suspension package, consisting of a 34 FLOAT CTD up front and a FLOAT CTD out back, which is custom tuned to bring out the best in the Tracer. And while this kit forgoes the none-more-gold Kashima treatment, the essential ride quality is preserved. The Shimano XT two-by-ten drivetrain gives you a full gear range and proven reliability. Stopping duties are handled by Shimano’s reliable XT brakes. The cockpit consists of Intense-branded items for the bar, stem, grips, and saddle, while a RockShox Reverb Stealth seatpost provides the requisite on-the-fly adjustment. It rolls on a Stan’s NoTubes tubeless-ready Flow EX wheelset, which offers both climb-friendly weight and shred-ready strength. They’re wrapped in Maxxis’ renowned High Roller II tires.


The Intense Tracer 27.5 Carbon Expert Complete Mountain Bike is available in three sizes, from Small to Large, and in the colors Black/red, and Black/grey.
