Intense Spider (Foundation Build)
The 100% new INTENSE Spider is here, a frame that relaunches the “Trail Light” segment within the brand with 29” wheels, rear travel of 130mm, and recommended fork travel of 130mm as well. This new iteration is much more than an update, as it follows all the learnings procured over decades. It is a fully reimagined carbon frame for the category that is the arguably a quiver killer given its efficient and fast pedaling platform coupled with the DNA of quite aggressive capabilities that is true to the INTENSE brand.
The Spider’s geometry aims to appeal to a wide range of riders looking for a versatile model that allows them to perform at their best while also daring to go explore rougher trails. As a worthy successor to the Sniper T platform, the Spider’s complete redesign now firmly establishes itself in the Trail Light category.
The Spider features optimized carbon layup for each size, the legendary JS Tuned pedaling platform for optimal suspension performance, and provides solutions widely sought after by riders—such as frame guards, a threaded BB, and an extra mount holder at the bottom of the top tube for carrying an accessory holder.
