I do all of my own maintenance and have changed the front shock oil and springs because of my weight 208 at 5'11''. The rear shock is a Fox Vanilla with a 850 spring. I've replaced the two pivot bearings at the bottom bracket because of wear and I'M on my fourth rear rim because of spokes pulling out. The rim I have now is a Bontrager ASM and it is holding up extremely well. The frame is anodized grey front and gloss black rear with red decals.
All components are either black, silver or red including the tires.
The ride is on a level no other bike has been able to equal. 40 to 50 mph down the fire roads without even breathing hard. I owned a Santa Cruz Heckler prior to getting this bike and frankly it was to light to ride very fast, to much air. Long live Intense. I'm 48 years young and riding has brought back all the child in me.
