Intense Sniper XC

TAKE CROSS COUNTRY RACING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The Sniper 29" Cross Country bike is a ground-up, dedicated, pedaling machine with 100mm travel. Short travel bikes should descend like their long travel siblings and that’s what we have worked to craft into the Sniper. This is no “Twitchy XC bike”. With the 29” wheel size and progressive XC/Trail geometry, you get a stable ride that goes where you point it, the Sniper takes XC Racing to the next level.

Key Features:

• Longer front center per-size and spec’d with a short 50mm stem to offer a comfortable fit with precise steering.

• Slack headtube angle coupled with the 44mm offset fork on the 100mm Sniper give these bikes the forgiveness and confidence of a big travel bike with the responsiveness of a short travel trail ripper.

• Long wheelbase helps provide stability and traction while riding fast and rough terrain.

• An ideal BB height of 13” on Sniper XC keeps your pedals out of the dirt and helps to maintain a low center of mass while riding.

First toughts of frameset

The frame looks fantastic but there were problems before building bike. First annoying thing was upper linkage freeplay, second thing was derailuer hanger wasnt straight, third thing was spacer under to bb brake hose and shifter cable because i didnt found it my box. So i had many stupid problems before my bike was even build. I hope now when bike is ready that we have great trips together. Only what i can say that i hope this was one of kind thing and most of people gets everything dialed.
