Help me decide between the Cove Shocker and Intense Socom. Frame only. I am leaning towards shocker cuz all my parts will fit, unlike the Socom, but I like how little the Socom weights. I will be riding mostly dh with the bike.

I have like 1000
USED

F*ck all Intense frames. Search "broken Intense" then search "broken cove" and see who wins! I hada Socom and couldn't unload it fast enough. Wouldn't even RIDE the thing cuz I was always worried about running over my own fork with a headtube attached.
Here's my vote: TR450 or Banshee Legend.

That's very mature of you. I haven't seen any broken Intense frames around this area...

Also, how many people own Intense compared to Cove ? Think about it. Razz

And did op not say he had a price limit ? If coves are expensive, and intense are not, why not buy an intense ?

I have seen, in total, about 3 broken Intenses. Not very many.

Game, set, and match. Razz
