What Editors Are Saying
The Intense Carbine looks to make its way into the conversation regarding the sport's most capable machines, and with complete carbon bikes starting below $4,000 the Carbine is more accessible than ever.
Ryan Cleek, BikeMag
The 2018 Carbine made Sedona’s step-downs, vertical rock rolls, and Hail Mary gravity lines seem like they were a lot bigger last year.
Richard Cunningham, Pinkbike
When it comes to the descents, the Carbine shows its enduro credentials, but fortunately seems to avoid the curse of long travel 29ers — it’s not an absolute slugger on flat or very tight trails.
