What he does when riding safe and chilling is what I do riding way past the edge of doom

Intense always makes such pretty looking bikes, it's a good thing that they are out of my price range, otherwise i think i might get their annual models.

A friend of mine bought the Spider Pro, 1st ride (on a mellow trail) cracked the frame. Received the bike on a Thursday cracked it Saturday morning, called Intense. Intense said it was his fault, and they would not honor the warranty. Contacted Arts and they agreed to replace the front triangle at no cost.
The lesson is don't buy an Intense as they break and the company is a bunch of crooks. But if you really want one, get one from Arts as they are stand up guys who honor a warranty even when the manufacturer wouldn't.

@catweasel: oldest story around, the one about intenses cracking. I've seen more of them break than all other brands combined.

@jdsusmc: I got all excited for the bargain price on this, then crushed at the end, no more small sizes, the curse of being a little rider, hehehe

@ldhbaker: yeah heard the stories unfortunately he hadn't! Never heard about such bad issues with the warranty though. Hopefully a few people will read this and think twice about buying!

@catweasel: How did he crack a frame ?

catweasel (Oct 5, 2017 at 0:10)

@Kanegoldsworthy: Not really sure, he only rode Gooseberry mesa, which is a cool XC ride over flowing slickrock rollers, nothing really harsh on a bike at all. At the end of the ride he noticed the crack in the underside of the downtube (i think) whilst picking it up and putting it on his roof mounted rack. My guess is, it was a manufacturing default, or it somehow happened in shipping, and he didn't notice it when he first unboxed the bike 2 days before.

Just to say that Intense were good enough to contact me personally, after seeing this thread, to make sure that the situation was getting resolved to everyone's satisfaction. So well done Intense.

I agree with @dangerwank. Went to Squamish. Too smoky to see anything more than 100 ft away, had a bear in our campsite, and the trails were so hard! From now on I’m only bike vacationing in FL cause I hate having to pedal 2-3K of vert per ride just cause all the descents are so steep!

I hope he stomps his rampage line this year. I walked his line last year after the event and for me it was the burliest on the mountain

His version of a nice safe ride is my version of ending up in the hospital.

"I don't throw down every time I go out and ride my bike. I just wanna go out, have fun, and be safe" - Still throws down harder than I do when I push myself.

"...be safe sometimes." I love it. That's probably the closest thing to good advice I'll ever be able to tell my kids.
