Intense delivered Claire a brand new custom fitted M6 a few weeks back and she's been tearing the trails up. Shortly after that, RockShox gave her the only 10.5" eye to eye Vivid in existence. Yep she's hit the big leagues now!
Long time supporters like SRAM, Chromag and Sombrio make sure her bikes are running well and that she's looking good while playing in the dirt. This bike is ready for anything you can throw at it and looks amazing.
