The Intense Spider 29 Mountain Bike frame uses unique geometry to achieve a rare blend of handling quickness and big-wheeled rolling ability. Intense avoided the usual poor handling characteristics of most 29ers by giving the Spider a short wheelbase and a steep, 72-73 degree head angle. The resulting agility means this bike keeps up with any 26er out there on twisty, turny singletrack. Ovalized tube design provides lateral stiffness, while the patented VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) suspension sticks your rear wheel to the trail like glue when climbing and sucks up rocks and roots with impunity on descents. At just 6 pounds, this frame loves to climb. As always, you can expect Intenses impeccable, hand-made quality throughout.
