XL frame with hydroformed travel adjustable aluminum frame and CNC linkage with zertz grease port fittings for maximum bearing life. This is hand made and welded in Intense's Temecula, CA headquarters by seasoned welders. The welding beads on this frame are remarkable. With one allen wrench you can adjust the rear travel from 5.5" to 6" Headtube is 1.5" giving maximum welding surface to the beefy top and down tubes. The included Chris King Devolution headset mates the RockShox Lyrik's tapered steer tube to the frame giving you the full gamut of stem choices should you wish to use something other than the included Chris King 50mm 0-offset stem (brand new). Other frame features include the welded on bash guard mount and custom CRC Works Blue paint job. Intense's own factory team's color blend of a silver base layered with their choice clear Works Blue top coat giving the frame a one of a kind color. I ran it with their nickel coated linkage and I'm including the black anodized linkage (brand new) so you can build her up in your own color scheme. As with all Intense frames, the seat post is 31.6mm and I'm including a black 0-offset Thomson elite seat post. (I also have a travel adjust post with handlebar mounted trigger for sale). The fork is a butter smooth travel adjustable Rock Shox Lyric coil U-turn. You can adjust the travel and ride height on the fly simply by twisting the dial in 3mm increments from 110-160mm of travel. Rebound and high/low speed compression are also externally adjustable with three separate knobs. You can even lock it out on the climbs. Lastly is the 20mm Maxle thru-axle which is super easy to unthread from the magnesium lower legs and provides an unsurpassing amount of stiffness and steering control (FOX's 15mm is inferior, btw). The shock is not the stock Fox. I upgraded to a Manitou Evolver SX6. This thing is the shit. The piggy back has a built in reservoir with a valve that maintains set pressure as the air in it heats up. This prevents the shock from increasing in pressure as you descend a hill. The bottom out protection can be set to kick in in the last 10,20,30, or 40% of the stroke of the shock. Rebound also, of course, has a knob and so does high AND low speed compression! I have taken great care of this rig. The frame was heat treated and painted by Intense 2 years ago. I built it back up 1.5 years and rode it for less than 20 hours. There is minimal scuffing and cable rub in the paint. The worst coming from a derailed chain, as seen in the photos, on the chain-stay near the bottom bracket. With a crankset on, you have to look real hard. The fork has a season of riding on it but is well maintained. I worked at a shop and got the white uppers from RockShox when I needed to upgrade from 1 1/8" to tapered steer. It got new seals and oil and has performed great. The spring is standard stiffness.
