Product Description The fourth in Intense’s line of carbon fiber mountain bike frames, the Spider 29 Comp was designed for the XC/ light-trail segment and offers all of our signature features, as well as some new surprises. The Spider 29 boasts modern trail geometry while the combination of patented VPP suspension and 29? wheels are magical ingredients for maintaining rolling momentum through the rough stuff, as well as on the climbs. It brings all the features Intense is known for: adjustable travel (4.5 – 5? G1 dropout system, proven ride quality and exceptional esthetics, but also has some new tricks up its sleeve like internal cable routing, tapered head tube, special internal cable routing for the Rock Shox Reverb Stealth dropper post and comes stock with the Fox Float CTD Kashima coat rear shock. Two travel settings allow the bike to really take on a dual personality. Use the 4.5” mode for an extremely solid pedaling platform or the longer 5” position to gobble up rocks, roots and chatter.

Amazing pedaling efficiency, when you really hammer on the pedals it feels like someone is helping push you up the hill. Great at climbing technical climbs. Amazing on the down hill. Weaknesses: Rear end takes some time to get dailed in. Not overly impressed with fox CTD rear shock but will sending it to avalanche to work their magic on it. I do wish they would have incorporated some more chain stay protection like whats on the evil following. Build quality is great but paint did not appear to be even. Bottom Line: With a fox 36 150mm talas fork this bike can climb amazing and with a simple turn of a switch it turns into an all.
Earlier this year, Intense Cycles invited us to the coastal hills of Laguna Beach, CA, promising an Intense Experience. What was the occasion? The launch of their newest trail bike, the Intense Spider 275 C. While the new Spider 275 C shares some traits of its big-wheeled brother, the Spider 29 C, there are a few key differences. Besides the 27.5 wheels, the new Spider 275 C utilizes what Intense calls the I- Box Link, which sits over the bottom bracket, allowing the Spider 275 C to have substantially shorter chainstays. At 16.5 inches, the Spider 275 C's chainstays are an inch shorter than the Spider 29 C and half and inch shorter than the Tracer 275 C. Intense states that by bringing the lower link closer to the bottom bracket, adding extra-large diameter bearings to both the upper and lower links and a BOOST 148x12mm rear end, they whole system works together to stiffen up the bike substantially. With a 67-degree head angle, 13.25-inch bottom bracket and those 16.5-inch chainstays, the new Spider 275 C is aimed squarely at both the elite trail riders and weekend warriors.
