Intense

<p>A carbon fibre rocket with beautiful SRAM Eagle components that climbs as beautifully as it descends. While the Expert build sits just below the Pro level, you won't mistake this for a budget build: SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 components and Shimano XT brakes along with buttery RockShox suspension make this a truly special build. Explosively fast and insanely light, the weight of the frame is on par with many road bikes, but the real secret to its eagerness lies in the efficient link system that gives it compact chainstays and a shortened wheelbase. Expect mind-bending acceleration and a stiff, responsive feel when mashing up steeps.</p><ul><li>Monocoque unidirectional carbon frame with aluminum 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 allows 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 Revelation RC fork with 140mm of travel is tuneable and can be locked out</li><li>RockShox Monarch RL rear shock is adjustable between 115 and 130mm</li><li>Internal routing prevents cable rattle and keeps them protected</li><li>27.5in.
