Intense's carbon all-mountain red rocket

Looking for that lightweight trail bike that crosses over into the all-mountain realm?

Intense delivers with the new Carbine. At a svelte 5.5lbs. this full carbon frame can be set up lightweight and in the 5.5" travel setting with a 150mm fork for epic trail rides or set up a little burlier in the 6" setting with a 160mm fork to handle those challenging descents and pedal back up the hill with ease.

At just over 27 lbs. this bike is perfect for all-day epic trail rides yet inspires confidence in the most technical terrain.
