Intense Tracer

READY FOR THE ULTIMATE 27.5" ENDURO BIKE?

Since the 1st generation Tracer was introduced in 1999, the bike has been positioned as our most aggressive enduro bike in the line – agile on climbs and destroys the descents. The Tracer has long been a leader in the evolution of 27.5" Enduro bikes. In 2014, it was named “Interbike’s Bike of the Year”. In 2017, Pink Bike called it a “playful, ready-for-anything trail bike” and Enduro Mag said was an “irrefutably great bike”. But don’t take their word for it – experience it for yourself.

Tracer Foundation

Few years ago, I used to ride UZZI and Tracer is much better bike :) It flows so smooth down the hill and also paddeling up the hill is no problem. The only think, I really don't like are the brakes. They are too soft and slow in my opinion.I would also appreciate a longer seat post.
Thanks for this bike!

best bike ever!

the tracer is the best enduro bike i have ever ridden. it is really agressive and fits perfekt to my riding style. it has a very safe feeling on big jumps and never gives you the feeling beeing out of control. some little things could be done better like the cabels are very loud inside of the frame and that there is only a gx trigger and not the x0, but all in all it is really perfekt and its a lot of fun to ride it.

Premium

The bike is just awesome and above my expectations, BUT the experience from website, packaging and scratches on some parts (inquired with customer service and feedback pending) is really not premium - in fact, it was very likely that I would have left prior check-out;

The product is on point, let's get the rest there too for a premium experience!
