$3000.00 | | Purchased At: | Intense employee | | Strengths: | The rear suspension makes you think you are riding on air. I can ride down steps and hardly feel a thing. Bombproof design. Intense knows how to treat the customer. | | Weaknesses: | No replaceable rear derailleur hanger. Intense upgraded it with the 2000 model that has a replaceable one for free. Stickers fall off but Intense will repowdercoat it and put on new stickers for $125. This bike makes me not want to ride any of my other bikes. | | Similar Products Used: | This is my first freeride bike, but I have a Stumpjumper(set up with slicks for urban assalts) and a Proflex 957 (for cross country racing). | | Bike Setup: | Manitou X-Vert R, XTR triple chainrings, XTR shifters and levers, XT V-brakes, Easton prototype magnisium stem w/ knee pad, Shimano clipless dh pedals, Fox R/C twin clicker. | | Bottom Line: | If you get one of these plan on not riding any of your other bikes for a while. This bike can do it all. You can take it from the ski slopes to the single track. Ride it up hill (mine is 31lbs), and launch it off of almost anything. The Fox shock is great. I can stop and give it a couple clicks and you can tell the difference immedately (although a lockout would be nice). If you want a bike that can do it all, and want a product that the company will stand behind, get an Intense Uzzi DH. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 10, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Noble Canyon | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Excellent Quality control and workmanship. Great service after the sale. "Thanks Mike!" The FSR rear works even better than the Team rear. Frame can be adjusted to suit riders needs. ie. Adjustable Head Angle and seat tower. New style bearings and M-1 link upgrade. etc. etc.>>> | | Weaknesses: | Decals start to lift up and peel at the edges after a few rides, but the new 2000 decals will solve that problem. I Hope!!! Premium Price Tag!! Jeesh! But it is all worth it after you recover from buyers remorse. Oh Ya, I had a hard time trying to dial in the Double Ring set up at the front, so I just went with an MRP w/ a 42 tooth chain ring, use a 68 x 110 BB. A 113 is too wide and a 107 makes the cranks hit the lower link stay. (If you use a Race Face Crank) | | Similar Products Used: | TREK Y-Glide Deluxe, Specialized "Big Hit" and Specialized Enduro Comp and K-2's High Pivot with a rear Dumb Shock. | | Bike Setup: | Black Uzzi Team DH, 00 Answer Manitou DH Carbon fork, FOX Vanilla RC, M.S. World Cup 2 MRP bolted to Race Face Cranks, Mavix 321 Disk rim's laced to a Intense/Hadley 20mm frnt and 12mm rear disk hubs. Hayes new 74mm caliper up front 6" rotor and hayes at the back also 6" rotor. I am just waiting for the new Hayes adaptor so I can use a 8" disk up front. Grip Shift 9 speed rear shifter, XT 11-34 rear cassette and 2000 XTR rear derailer. Nokian Gozzalodi Jr. 2.6 DH tires. AC Bartender 100 X 10 stem mated to Easton Scadium H-Bar of course a Chris King Headset and 646 pedals. | | Bottom Line: | This frame set is a high end High quality frame. Spend the cash and you wont regret it. I am a totally satisfied Intense Uzzi DH owner!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
