NO EXPENSE SPARED ON THIS DREAM BUILD! 2020 Intense Sniper T, Size XL, 120mm travel front and rear, Fox Factory rear suspension, full Shimano XT drivetrain, NOBL carbon rims, DT 240 hubs, Magura hydraulic brakes, Thomson / Renthal parts...
This bike is my pride and joy and I've looked after it accordingly! The Sniper T was one of the very first 'downcountry' bikes, with progressive XC geometry and an incredibly supple-yet-efficient 'JS-tuned' rear suspension - a type of VPP design.
This frame is on sale now for €1,800 if you buy it now from Intense. That's right, €1,800 frame only! see: https:eu.intensecycles.com/products/sniper-t-frame
Why settle for a bland bike from one of the ubiquitous big brands, when you can own this rarified beauty? The Sniper T will put a smile on your face and a warmth in your loins - whether pedaling up, across, or down.
If you're looking for a marathon racing bike or just a long-distance XC steed that can get rowdy when you point it downhill, this is it.
Build is as follows:
-NOBL TR33 carbon rims laced to DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs (the new ones...)
-Fox 34 FLOAT Performance step cast fork, 120mm travel
-Fox Factory Float DPS EVOL rear shock with Kashima coating
-Shimano XT crankset, shifters, chainring, cassette, chain, and pedals
-Magura MT Trail Sport hydraulic disc brakes
-Thomson Elite seatpost and handlebar
-Renthal stem
-included extras: Intense shock pump, new lower linkage kit (in original packaging), Intense-brand bottle cages, SQ labs innerbarends, Specialized Ground Control tires (in original packaging)
This bike received regular maintenance and I replaced the rear suspension bearings yearly. Nonetheless I'm including a brand-new original Intense lower linkage, as stated above, for when you need new pivot bearings (in original box).
