Description

This INTENSE, lightweight, full-suspension XC bike with 100mm travel is designed for agility, quick speed, and steep climbs. The latest Sniper XC frame has been upgraded to the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and SRAM T-Type compatibility. Photos do not reflect this UDH upgrade. 

The Sniper XC is all about off-road speed… both up and down. It is fast and fiery, a truly innovative XC bike. It loves going uphill, but it always has one eye on the descents. A longer toptube, shorter stem, wider bars, lower bottom bracket, and slacker head angle all make for an exciting yet balanced bike. It is a complete system that is designed to work as one. Featuring a super lightweight full carbon frame (4lbs 5oz size Medium), rolling on 29” wheels, with progressive XC geometry. The Sniper XC is all about off-road speed… both up and down. It is fast and fiery, a truly innovative XC bike…

Modern XC

It’s all about geometry. Long, low, and slack is no longer just for the downhill crowd, it’s the ‘new normal’ for XC trail bikes too… it’s really a game-changer. We believe that short-travel bikes should descend like their long-travel siblings, so with the Sniper XC, we've created an XC trail bike with an aggressive DH spirit.

Light, Fast & Agile

We know that riding the Sniper will fill you with confidence. Climbing, descending, or cruising along… it does it all with powerful yet efficient ease. The way the Sniper covers the ground so quickly and effortlessly is inspiring, and it is nothing short of a revelation on the descents.

JS Tuned Link

JS stands for Jeff Steber (the founder and CEO of Intense); simply put, it is a sophisticated suspension system that uses two counter-rotating links to connect the front and rear triangles of the bike.

The links are precisely placed to separate the pedaling and braking forces from the suspension performance. Every model in our range has its own personal and specific JS tune.

Perfect race bike for NICA but still fun to ride

I am mostly an enduro rider so this seemed like the logical choice when I decided to buy an XC race bike. It its just as advertised: an XC bike that isn't miserable for people used to more downhill oriented bikes. I've not only gotten multiple strava pr's in my few rides on it so far but also ridden multiple (mellower) black enduro trails just for the fun of it.

Just one complaint: the narrow and lightly treaded recon in the front holds the bike back a ton. It was so sketchy on my muddy trails that I swapped it out for a v1 forkaster 2.35 after my first ride.
