Really cool concept for those looking to just cruise around and explore.

Please, how many steps of settings are there = how many mm can go derailleur from min to max value with microadjustment? One step/click is 0.2mm, right? Thank you.

what geometry primer,

How about when it won't shift into the largest cog on the rear cassette?

Thank you for this video. I got mine today and the back wheel won't spin at all the brake is so tight. I'll try this process.

@ 1:06, Any particular reason Intense insists on routing the shift cable and rear brake line UNDER the BB? Seems like asking for trouble. I know of no other bike brand doing it this way, and honestly, that's what always makes me look at other brands when comparing all mt trail bikes. And FYI, I had one of your Uzzi SL bikes yrs ago.

Gracias!

Indexing and adjusting gears is an art. Most people can’t do it. These failed attempts will result in returns bikes.

Are the gears indexed and brakes not rubbing out of box?

Сериозна машина! Аз съм стар (на 72 години) велосипеден майстор от България, в провинциален град обслужвам и ремонтирам велосипедите на хората. Винаги има какво още да се научи!

While on trainer the micro adjustment does nothing to the problem: what i need to do to increase available (crunch and cringe-grind free) gears from rear coqs from mid 2-3 coqs to full 12 speed.... i have sram 2by12 axs etap, trainer is elite direto x

Come new Tracer frames

Thank you for this video! Only video that went straight to the point!

Good info..🇺🇸🌮🏠🐐

Thank you! Raised my seat a quarter inch and my post was dropping without the lever pull, fixed the cable tension and I’m good to go!

what size would you recommend for someone who is 5 10

I've had issues where the transmission only rasps like that under load. When I dismount the bike to adjust it and just spin the wheel, it doesn't do it. The problem was that it was dirty since I ride in a dusty environment. Unfortunately I have needed to fully degrease/clean my chain after every 3-4 rides (using wax emulsion chain lube after). No amount of micro-adjusting during this fixes the issue.

Do I understand correctly that blue primer is a new geometry primer, which was announced in 2024?

Hi, Thanks for the video. Maybe you can record a video on how to adjust the battery mounting?

My headset screw has a cap. How do i remove it to adjust the headset?

Wäre es möglich in das Intense Tracer eine 180mm Gabel einzubauen. Wie sehr würde sich die Geometrie verschieben

Don't say away "from us", say "Clock-wise or Counter Clock-wise"

Why on planet Earth is this video age restricted ? KZbin is completely losing it

Love the optional gear hanger! Makes it so versatile.

When are you guys coming out with a Carbon Version M1?

I recently bought the 2023 Sniper T Pro on sale from my LBS. I could not be happier. I am about 2 weeks away from outracing e-bikes uphill. It also points downhill like a beast. It is so much fun. Ride on.

Great video. I have never aligned disc brakes before. I used your method and it word perfectly. I watched another video before this. In comparison this one was concise, straight forward and well explained. Made it easy for me to get my rear caliper aligned. Earned a subscription. Thank You !

Steps 5 and 6 remove spoke protector from behind the cassette and break off the wheel reflectors! 😎

Intense finally got rid of their collet locking rear axle. Huzzah!!!

Mi bici favorita😔

I’m 6’1, and while athletic am a relative beginner/ intermediate mtber. Any advice on L vs XL. Thx

Thank you for showing how the battery can easily be removed. I ride in Michigan during the winter too, and being able to bring the battery indoors to charge during the frozen season, is a huge benefit not many brands offer - you guys should play this up. Cheers! I think I just found my first e-mtb!

So intense to watch this video!

Just bought the Primer 29 got rid of the Cannondale…

Waiting for the tracking number.

Huh, nice bike…. I still remember the days when you guys use to make hand built frames in America down in Temecula, I miss those days. Steber was one of my heroes in the industry. I purchased a total of 5 frames throughout those years…. But hey, I get it….can’t beat the savings of going overseas and selling them at Costco, eh 😉

Cool, when did Intense start using TRP derailleurs?

Red Racer!

😍😍😍

Why did Chappy put on a helmet so set up the sag?

Where do you recommend getting the springs from

They are calling VPP an old suspension design, which partly true, but it's a proven suspension kinematics, Santa Cruz V10 still using the same design, and isn't planning to remove it, 6 bar linkage is inferior suspension system compared to VPP. in my opinion.

What a great bike. Had my first ride today between Brunswick, MD and Harpers Ferry WV. (Not that far. The only adjustment to make was saddle height) Your videos are more than adequate!

Is their a way I can make it go faster or cut a green wire or smthn

Just got this same bike 🤙🏼 and I conclude it rips!!!

LEGEND!!

I've assembled three of these (2 Trail and 1 XC) bikes now, and on every one, the longer brake hose was wrapped 360-degrees around the fork crown, requiring pulling the fork or pulling one grip and brake lever to correct. (Editing here, being left-handed and working amidst hungry mosquitos or in hot sun, In each case I simply had turned the fork in the wrong direction upon taking the bike from the box, doh!) I didn't see this to be the case in this video, their handlebar cardboard appeared to have already been removed from the bar assembly, and I had supposed that the grip and lever had been pulled to unwind the hose from the fork crown/headtube. I couldn't just twist the bar and cabling into alignment without twisting the cables/hoses into a rope. Likely the cable needed to be wrapped around the head tube to prevent shipping stress on the hose(?), but again, I'm left-handed! Secondly, both of the Trail bikes featured a somewhat backed-out hi-limit screw, giving near-instant chain jam against the swingarm after shifting to the 11t cog. A full turn tighter on the limit screw was needed. No, this wasn't because the hanger stop lug was preventing full tightening of the derailer mounting bolt, and no, the hanger wasn't bent either. I re-tightened the hollow bolt holding the hanger onto the swingarm, it too had lost tension just like the cassette lockrings, and needs 100 in-lbs using a 19mm or 3/4" socket. The cassette lockring on each bike didn't maintain much tightening tension (the plastic cog spacers of course settled a bit after their initial torquing). The cassette had to come off anyway though (to lightly grease the splines and to remove the clear plastic spoke disc). Two of the bikes needed minor caliper realignment laterally, to prevent rub on the disc's high spot. No, I didn't cause the high spot on the rotors, which was within normal tolerances. Disc mounting bolts took well to some moderate torquing, each bolt creaking a bit in the tightening direction after my break-in runs down a short hill. The included single bottle cage that came with the 951 Trail model did not clear the forward end of the suspension link mounting, so I had to go through a half-dozen cages here to find a metal one that fit. Forcing the included cage on would have quickly eroded the frame paint at the pivot mount while riding. The included cages fit on the 951XC just fine, but be aware that the bolts shouldn't be too heavily tightened and that the cage plastic will settle and compress, causing occasional loosening especially early on. This is a high-maintenance area on most bikes with plastic or carbon cages and even metal ones tend to loosen initially. These bikes with their longer wheelbase, bigger wheels and much wider handlebars aren't going to fit into the trunk of a sedan like older mtb's having smaller wheels and traditional geometry. These also seem to take up much more room in the garage than my older bikes, more like a motorcycle! I was able to drive home from Costco with the box shoved into the trunk of my 2005 Camry, heavy end in first and with the trunk lid held down by the wind on the highway. A cord should be used for retention and to satisfy the highway patrol, but I didn't bring any rope, my bad. These quibbles aside, these are great mid-range, serious carbon mtb's for the money, and the suspension settings weren't far off for my 145lbs. Spoke tensions were also quite acceptable, especially at my weight and age (late 50's).

At 1:05 you mention videos that cover the suspension pivot maintenance for the 951 XC (and Trail). I can find those videos, can you share a link?

You need a shimano LRT2 tool to remove the lock ring
