Strengths: plush as d cup knockers...rocksteady...the welding is unbelievable...looks too goodWeaknesses: inspires more confidence than i have the skills to back up withBottom Line: this bike will inspire you to fly higher and go faster than you have ever gone before...it is super plush...
this bike is not good i tell ya...not good, prior to this bike my biggest drop off was 2.5 feet and that scared the crap out of me...i was happy there, but then i started doing 3 feet drops and that got boring...then 5 feet got boring...now 5'8 drops are getting boring too...hmm how high was that drop that Bender took?...ya hear me, this bike will make you do things that your mom will smack ya then ground ya then tell your dad and your dad will smack ya for being cooler than he ever was...

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.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.

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)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!!

Strengths: Well put together frame everything was though of in the R&D process of this frame!! very strong semi light, I could go on and on for days!!!!!!Weaknesses: price (2150)Bottom Line: This is the best bike I have every had I can run the downhill, and still ride the cross country on the weekend with the bro's. If you are looking for the best ride you can get any direction, and have the money to spend the uzzi dh is the ride yoy need. I would get rid of my wife before I got rid of my intense.
