:Intense 2951 - DH goes 29er

March 30th, 2010 | No Comments » |

Its probably pretty safe to say that the 29er is here to stay. Everywhere you ride now you are likely to see someone on a 29er.

Well, now it seems people are looking to adapt this wheel size to DH applications. Enter the Intense 2951.

To accommodate the larger wheels and keep the geometry acceptable fot DH, the travel was reduced from a standard 951 to 7.5 or 8″ with adjustable link. Suspension up front is handled by a 7″ Travel reduced Manitou Dorado.

Whether this catches on in DH, or even sees it through to production remains to be seen, but as a concept bike its pretty cool.
