I've been fortunate enough to hammer on some of the best bikes on the market in recent years and last year going into the new lineup have been blown away by the product from Intense. The bikes are so super-dialed that it's crazy. Part spec at each price point in the line is near perfect and the overall performance is incredible. A lot of good things going on with the brand. Like the last comment, yes, it's boutique brand, but they are pretty incredible bikes.

I'm thinking the weight is correct. I have a Tracer 275C Pro build, which I put carbon bars on, some light flat pedals, those are the only swaps and it's 26.99 on the Park scale, that's with pedals. He's got carbon hoops and carbon cranks on there, which would probably put him right on 26.

I guess that goes to show how lame the bike industry can be. A guy like that still has a clapped out bike with great results at Ramage, while it seems just about any kid throwing barspins in slopestyle gets hooked up and hyped up. What a good attitude Wil has. Can't wait to see him rip at Rampage

Got my Reverb Stealth the other day, 2014 model. i followed all of your advice about sanding the entry hole a little bigger, nut on a string to find the path, routed the hose as instructed and it was all pretty much super easy. I did it a bit differently and routed the hose from the seat tube end first, so I had to pull the cable backwards through the existing top tube guide hole. I've bled countless avid brakes, so the hose bleed was no problem. Everything seems to work perfect. All in all, took maybe an hour total...

So you mentioned that it seemed like there was a "sleeve" for about 100mm where the hose goes into the top tube. You had to sort of drill the hole out big enough for the hose to fit AND grind the sleeve away then? Before I jump into this, I'm just trying to figure out if I'm up to the task. Also, was it any trouble finding your way through the frame with the nut on a string? Did you just use some regular string, everything pulled through okay with it? Is your reverb still working well for you, any...

Awesome build. A lot like mine. A question about your reverb routing. Why did you need to use a spare hose to route with then run the actual hose. Why couldn't you have just run the actual hose the first time. And just for clarification, your hose goes in the existing top tube hole, then hooks back into the top tube briefly, then down the head tube, then down the down tube, then up the bottom bracket them up the seat tube? Any issues with rubbing the fork steerer tube or crank spindle?
