Intense

<p>A premium 29er, and in fact, one of the finest 29ers available anywhere in the world. Detailed and engineered for XC excellence, the Primer's hyperlight carbon frame and well-chosen Expert Build components deliver a ride that's competent, flickable and fully race-ready. At its heart lies the innovative i-BOX Pivot system for climbing efficiency and trail management. The Rockshox Pike RC suspension combined with the 29er wheels offers a smoother feeling ride than you'd get on a smaller wheeled bike. For the drivetrain, you get nothing but the certainty of Shimano XT components to move smoothly from long, steep climbs to fast and flowy descents. A RockShox Reverb Stealth seatpost drops out of the way when things get rowdy and pops back up when you need to start churning.</p><ul><li>Monocoque unidirectional carbon frame with alloy top link is light, strong and stunning</li><li>i-BOX Pivot System allows for compact seatstays and a shortened wheelbase for a remarkably nimble and efficient ride</li><li>Angular Contact/Collet Bearing System for easy maintenance</li><li>148x12mm spacing in the rear and 110x15mm in the front boosts stiffness</li><li>JS Tuned rear linkage results in an efficient and balanced ride when climbing or descending</li><li>Tapered headtube shaves grams and improves stiffness</li><li>Flack guard protects the downtube and chainstays from chain slap and rock lift-off</li><li>Direct-mount front derailleur tab allows the use of a 2x system</li><li>RockShox Pike RC is tuneable and can be locked out</li><li>RockShox Monarch RC3 Debonair rear shock is adjustable between 115 and 130mm</li><li>Internal routing prevents cable rattle and keeps them protected</li><li>DT Swiss M1900 Spline wheels are tubeless ready</li><li>Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires offers good grip and low rolling resistance in a variety of conditions</li><li>RockShox Reverb Stealth seatpost with 125mm of travel</li><li>1x11 Shimano XT M8000 groupset leverages a massive 11-46 cassette</li><li>RaceFace Turbine crank uses CNC machined 7050 alloy with a 32T ring</li><li>Shimano XT M8000 hydraulic disc brakes with 180 and 160mm in the front and rear</li><li>Thomson Elite stem and Renthal Lite bar boost stiffness and specialness</li><li>WTB Silverado Sport saddle is trail ready</li><li>Bikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement.
