Regular price$7,499.00

The new INTENSE M1 has 203mm (linear) / 212mm (progressive) of rear travel, 279 mixed wheels, and is built around a 6-link, high-pivot, 6061-T6 aluminum frame. The M1 is a race-proven winner. Designed, developed, and perfected by our engineers and the INTENSE Factory Racing team on the World Cup circuit to be the fastest downhill bike. The M1 Pro is complemented by a selection of components that will elevate the performance and impress any rider. With Fox Factory suspension you get superior control and adjustment. The DT Swiss 350 hubs laced to FR 541 Rims will withstand the rigors of aggressive riding all backed by the TRP DH-7 confidence-inspiring brakes, derailleur, and shifter.

During the initial development stages, the 6-link high pivot design allowed us to isolate, adjust and customize every element of the M1’s ride characteristics. Our goal was to design a bike that would excel in all DH conditions, on any track, and honor the name and racing pedigree of our original M1 frames that we produced in the 1990s. With the new M1 we’ve created a bike that can smash through the roughest terrain, generate speed, accelerate efficiently when pedaling and stay active under braking.

HIGH PIVOT

High-pivot bikes, especially in downhill applications, have proven to provide amazing performance and muster great race results. The rearward axle path of the M1 moves the rear wheel out of the way of trail obstacles, helping the bike maintain momentum and control. The position of the idler pulley reduces the effects of chain growth, eliminating pedal kickback, and further enhancing suspension and pedaling performance.

DT SWISS WHEELSET

The DT Swiss FR 541 wheelset may not be your first but it aspires to be your last. The updated rim shape improves impact resistance, allowing you to tackle trails with increased confidence. With the reliable DT Swiss 350 Hub and its 36 tooth ratchet system that ensures direct power transfer, this wheelset is ready for anything you want to throw at it. It's a sophisticated yet simple wheelset that keeps you focused on the trail, not your equipment.

PRECISION SHOCK TUNING

The Fox DHX2 Factory Coil Shock blends an ultra-plush feel with exceptional damping performance tailored for downhill riding. We worked closely with our race athletes and directly with FOX tuning experts to find the perfect tune for the M1. Nothing sticks to the ground quite like a coil shock. The DHX2 takes that sensation and fortifies it with sophisticated and progressive damping, and a massive overall tuning range with super low-friction internals to capitalize on the full race-spec magic carpet experience.

EASY TO WORK ON, A MECHANIC’S DREAM

In response to the feedback from our race mechanics, we prioritized ease of maintenance when designing the M1. Notable features include externally routed cables for convenient access and standardized 6mm Hex wrench compatibility for all hardware except one collet bolt. There are three 'captured' washers in the linkage hardware, meaning they stay in place and don't fall to the ground when re-installing that pivot bolt after a muddy rebuild. The M1 uses high-end Enduro bearings in all links and features an easy-to-maintain and durable threaded BB.
