what is it a ss?

nike6 (Aug 14, 2009 at 11:19)

slopestyle

smeckma (Aug 14, 2009 at 13:52)

So it seems.

Nah. Can't be the current slopestyle. It's got a 1 1/8th headtube and the shock is too small [4-5inches probably]. Linkage is different. It's like a Tracer but different. Must be some custom thing or a new bike. Notice how the dropouts are welded on, strange not like Intense with their G2 and G3 dropouts. Maybe it'll be an actual Intense 'slopestyle' not like the current mini-dh/park bike.

thats what i was thinking, new ss or a mix and match of new and old?

windowlicker (Aug 16, 2009 at 15:29)

Kinda looks like a 5.5 now that I think about it. I am pretty sure it's a 5.5...

It is the new tazer frame from intense, and is intended for 4x, dual slalom and slopestyle. It also has adjustable rear travel i think it is 100-120mm.

no its not, it was custom built for palm years ago, they just gave it some new parts and a paint job,

seraph (Aug 21, 2009 at 11:40)

It is the new Tazer VP. Look at Intense's site, you'll see it.

elbry (Aug 21, 2009 at 11:56)

ok, how many more times, its a one off, from jeff AKA mr intense himself boys and girls
"This is a one off frame I made at Palms request a couple of years ago as a all rounder for hittin the trails around Tahoe where he lives.
It is basically a 5.5 with a bit burlier construction and slacker " Palmer specific " geometry.
He had it freshened up for CW , new paint & parts."

bikemaniac1993 (Aug 21, 2009 at 13:17)

ok well i may be wrong then but it sure as hell still looks exactly like the new tazer frame to me?

dbcg (Aug 21, 2009 at 20:20)

bikeflf (Aug 22, 2009 at 12:46)

elbry (Aug 22, 2009 at 23:02)

Is it just me, or does Intense make some of the best looking bikes EVER?

WAKIdesigns (Aug 21, 2009 at 3:48)

no it's not just U Wink

but i guess it's not just me that thinks they charge too much for them

WAKIdesigns (Aug 21, 2009 at 3:46)

It's not any of the current Intense bikes available to the market, just compare with the website. Great to see more and more PROs using the smaller bikes for "non-racing" funride applications (actualy Lopes won air DH on a bike like that). Non-pros should start doing that too (just like me Razz

)

Shout out to the Dead Kennedys and the Damned............Palmer isnt the greatest X athlete to ever live, he's the greatest Human being to ever live.

I guess it's 5.5 EVP and as prove check the link http://content.mtbr.com/TRP_13_282_5crx.aspx
I think Palmer's frame is 2005 or something like that.
Anyway it's good looking bike.

seraph (Aug 21, 2009 at 11:41)

It's definitely not a 5.5 EVP.
