Details
Evolved from excellence, the new INTENSE Primer is "True to the Trail", providing outstanding performance with a striking design that stands out from the crowd while delivering a confidence-inspiring trail ride every time.
Tested and developed with some of the fastest athletes, the 2020 INTENSE Primer models feature a brand new full-carbon frame, utilizing the latest technology and specifically tailored for each of the 27.5" and 29" wheel-sizes with a hands-on, passionate approach. Complementing the frame is a new JS Trail Link system, which offers incredible performance on mixed terrain thanks to its ideal curve through the travel with a positive pedal platform, which ensures the INTENSE Primer is well-suited to both long climbs and chunky descents.

- Fox Performance 34 150mm fork
- Fox Performance DPX2 shock
- SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain
- E13 LG1 Enduro Race wheels
A dropper seatpost allows you to quickly lower and raise your seat to give you an ideal riding position. Dropping your seat creates a lower center of gravity for better control and maneuverability on steep descents, while raising it puts you at normal riding height for efficient pedaling.
Construction can include either hydraulic- or cable-actuated systems and the post’s travel can either be infinitely adjustable or stopped at set intervals, depending on the model.
Dropper seatposts come in standard lengths and diameters and vary by the amount of travel.
