This M3 is in awesome condition. It has not been ridden much maybe one day on the weekends this summer. It has been well maintained and has not been abused. There are some normal riding scuffs and scratches but no dents or dings. The M3 is one of the best downhill bikes on the mountain today - you will be very happy with this bike!

ABOUT THE INTENSE M3:
The World Famous M3 is the benchmark in downhill racing geometry, form and function. This is the ideal "Down Hill" race rig as proven on the Norba and UCI World Cup Circuts.

VPP LINKAGE:
VPP suspension designs balance different forces to eliminate unwanted compression without limiting bump absorption. The downward force on your pedals pushes most full suspension bikes down resulting in unwanted suspension compression. VPP bikes use a patented link configuration and axle path to apply some of the pulling force from the chain to counteract the motion caused by pedaling. Because the forces are balanced, VPP bikes remain able to absorb bumps while pedaling, unlike other designs that effectively lock out the rear suspension by applying too much chain pulling force. What you end up with is plush travel with no pedal-induced compression or lockout and no need for manual lockouts or other compromises.

FRAME CONSTRUCTION:
A great suspension design by itself is not enough to make a great bike. To realize the potential of VPP technology, every frame is carefully engineered without compromise in materials or construction methods. We start with custom tube sets made form the strongest and lightest aluminum alloys available. Then we use a variety of advanced design and construction techniques including custom parts design, strategic gusseting, modified weld bead profile and shot-peening. Prototypes undergo rigorous laboratory and real world testing. Each frame is analyzed for high-stress areas when pushed to the limit. Geometry is tested, tweaked and tested again. Every part of every frame receives an obsessive amount of attention to minimize weight, maximize strength, durability and serviceability.
