That's good
This is spammy AF. Knock it off.
Dang, the old one looks way better in my opinion.

John Hall mentioned it on the Intense Instagram that its the Intense M1 and you can come check it out this weekend.
figure most of you inside-types know by now, but for any roadies w/ shimano hollowtech cranks, there's a pretty significant recall. BRAIN has the deets - https://www.bicycleretailer.com/recalls/2023/09/21/shimano-recalls-760-…
details of intense m1 (photos) and fezzari DH bike sniped in the parking lot from US open
Made in Cali sticker on the back?
I wonder why they are not going the UDH, should limit them? Wouldnt work with their CS lenght flip chip but they could design around the UDH for the same functionality.
Btw. those white Continental Tires look quite good, but probably OEM only👀
Aiming for a price sensitive usergroup I don't see the incompatability with transmission too big of a problem for privateer.
Personally however I wouldn't buy a bike without it.
FYI, XTR cranks use the same construction method overall (hollow crankarm and a skin glued on on the inside). But I guess there's less of a chance of something going wrong as the spider isn't part of the glued bond.
That Fezzari frame looks familiar, something about that link
Session? lol
Commencal Clash and Furious
Lotsa Commencal Furious/Clash vibes there.
I'm getting a weird blend of Commencal Furious and first-gen Orbea Rallon.
fezzari link reminded me of this older cannondale a bit
I've always thought the move to 38mm stanchions was kinda silly, but my 170mm travel lyrik on my ebike looks really noodley with the larger downtube. Its all making sense to me now.
It’s the Intense Cali flag logo. But chances are this one was made by Jeff
Sounds like it's going into production according to the 'gram
I don't own a downhill bike, but why even bother with a seat on the M1? At sag, it's going to be pointed even higher!
Need bigger welds stacks and a white with black outline logo for full nostalgia effect.
HUMP ON THE TOP TUBE!!!
When the seat is lower one's pelvis meets it at a different angle while seated. Thus a higher nose. It works the same with dirt jumpers and trials bikes. You should try it.
Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
Can't believe I got 2 downvotes for asking the question.
FINALLY
Looks like the Stumpy above (S-Works Evo) and other Stumpy models are up on the Specialized website.
Looks like existing models with transmission
