New breed of DH race bike. Introducing the Intense 951 FRO
The 951 FRO has been designed around the next generation VPP2 suspension platform. It features travel in the range of 8-8.5in, a 83mm-wide bottom bracket, One Point Five head tube and ISCG 05 guide mount. The frame is constructed from Easton EA6 tubing and custom CNC machined 6061 aluminum bits (linkage and rear dropouts). A medium frame with Fox DHX RC4 shock is said to weigh 9.5lb. Complete bike as shown is said to weigh in at 37lbs!
First in production will be the FRO (For Racing Only) model with monocoque down tube and G3 dropouts, allowing the rider to change wheelbase, head angle and bottom bracket height depending on track conditions. Plans are in the works for a less expensive model with a traditional down tube and fixed dropouts is in the production pipeline. They will be available in 3 sizes and in various color options YTBD.
MSRP is $2760 for the FRO with Fox RC4 shock, $2420 for the production version with Fox RC2
