mann this is like girls... the pretty ones are to get them out 4 a walk (sc v10) and the good body but ugly face are 4 the action (M6)

brooklynrider (Sep 21, 2008 at 14:38)

you can always put a bag over the face

trohan (May 16, 2009 at 20:34)

bag n' bang

M6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brooklynrider (Sep 21, 2008 at 14:17)

thats like asking blond or brunette. your not gonna get a good answer because of bias... M6 is better

Jwmbike14 (Jan 22, 2009 at 23:36)

M6. personally i don't like it. you are screwed when it comes to the rear shock. it is also heavier then the V10. and i like the V10's geometry much better. i feel that the new V10 also pedals and handles better suspension wise. but thats my 2cents...

etabs (May 14, 2009 at 20:12)

v10 is lighter and a smoother looking bike. it comes stock with what in my opinion are better components aswels as suspension wise. i say go with the v10

tim-intense (Oct 30, 2008 at 10:19)

i personally have an m6, but i wouldnt say no to either if given the choice, both great machines, tough decision

candymuffin (Nov 15, 2008 at 23:33)

huh WHAT??
you have one but you would say no?
i'm confused.

tim-intense (Nov 16, 2008 at 9:18)

what that means is, if i were in his position choosing from an m6 or v10 i wouldnt say no to either, perosonally i chose the m6

candymuffin (Nov 17, 2008 at 5:45)

oh ok.
thanks for clearing that up

downhill123123 (Nov 30, 2008 at 10:40)

santa cruz spends more money on wc riders????
have you seen what intense team travel round the world in??? find the video of the bus tour

stinkybigd (Sep 21, 2008 at 18:55)

m6 all the way. the only difference between the two is that Intense's utilize the VPP linkage more than the Santa Cruz's. plus the M6 is hand crafted and welded in California.

Jwmbike14 (Jan 22, 2009 at 23:33)

and so are V10's... the rest of their production is now over seas. but the V10 is still made in Santa Cruz California.

gagou (Sep 22, 2008 at 9:13)

M6 !!!!!

toolisgod (Oct 1, 2008 at 4:57)

i might be buying a v10 build. they are very nice bikes. Although if you have the money get the m6

Downhiller-92 (Oct 1, 2008 at 12:32)

intense M6 for sure pirfict race bike with 9.3 inches of travel and it's lighter than it looks.

koreanboy (Oct 17, 2008 at 6:35)

M6 is heavier than v10 ...

maxrampling (Nov 6, 2008 at 9:55)

how many riders do u see on the WC circuit winning races riding V10's compared to m6 alot more i think..

riccardoleumann (Nov 11, 2008 at 2:09)

Thats cause santa cruz spends more money on riders... More than intense

maxrampling (Nov 11, 2008 at 4:33)

so surely that means you'll get better customer service..

span13d (Nov 11, 2008 at 3:36)

M6 all the way, because there very rare

drewdude (Nov 11, 2008 at 17:36)

ahhh common look at the eye to eye and stroke length! M6 should enable your shock to be more of what it can be!

connorprice (Nov 16, 2008 at 10:06)

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM6666666666666666666666666666666666666

wolff (Nov 26, 2008 at 9:32)

i never realised how much they look alike ! but id say the m6 tbh

calum1more (Dec 19, 2008 at 6:22)

That is one tough decision.

mtbKELSEY (Mar 28, 2009 at 20:27)

After a long many hours researching and contemplating my answer I am firmly going to stick with:

BOTH!

suckafreedmr (Sep 21, 2008 at 14:02)

M6 errrday allday

nouser (Sep 21, 2008 at 16:49)

ya the M6 is the way to go!

davidstuartkelly (Oct 30, 2008 at 12:41)

v10, so long as the headtube stays attatched??

nicolai-helius-freerider (Nov 11, 2008 at 9:06)

court247 (Nov 20, 2008 at 8:59)

defently v10 its nicer more travel and sexcier

sbifano17 (Dec 18, 2008 at 20:15)

pepikdh (Dec 25, 2008 at 2:47)

profesorikebara (Jan 25, 2009 at 10:29)

V10 is original, lighter and more travel. Go for V 10

Colsey (Jan 27, 2009 at 8:20)

someguywhobikes (Sep 21, 2008 at 15:02)

i think the m6 is beautiful...no bag needed there.....m6 for sure

Below threshold threads are hidden

ruiabreu (Sep 30, 2008 at 16:49)

V10 FOR SURE! Better bike, more travel, World Cup Proven. Prety for walk and ugly for action...maybe...but the V10 it's prety and for race. V10 are also made in California. VPP is Santa Cruz patented not Intense. V10 for sure.

mattbeer Editor (Oct 8, 2008 at 5:17)

santa cruz is not made in california and both work together to develop the VPP patent.

patan970 (Dec 18, 2008 at 19:32)

ruibreau : fail

Jwmbike14 (Jan 22, 2009 at 23:35)

Matt-beer. you are a moron santa cruz is made IN SANTA CRUZ, California. all bikes u ptill jst recently were hand made in SC cali. now only the V10 is still made in CA. and the others are made over seas. get your facts straight.

bikin4life (Oct 20, 2008 at 16:27)

i would get a LIME GREEN V10 with TOTEM
