    Strengths:    Fantastic bike! Really fun to ride!
    Suspension is super smooth blazing through rock gardens.
    Fox van 36 Factory Series fork works perfectly with this frame.
    Pedals great with a 1x10 speed setup.

    Weaknesses:    Seat post adjustability is limited.
    As a park bike, fine, as a ripping trail bike,
    an adjustable seat post is a must.
    intense does not make them any more.
    Why?

    Bottom Line:   
    Highly recommend this frame for any agressive trail and park riders.
    Super flowy, the bike asks to go faster and bigger.
    With a skilled pilot, this bike has no limits.
    Blows through rock gardens, thanks to the vpp suspension.
    You can find new and used ones online.
    This is one of those bikes that is great, designed really well and is overlooked.
    Handmade in Temecula, CA USA

    Strengths:    amazing pedaling platform, great cornering ability, dialed geometry, stable, solid rear end

    Weaknesses:    limited seat post extension

    Bottom Line:   
    The Intense SS2 corners incredibly well thanks to the low bb height, short chain stays and suspension that does not squat excessively into its travel. Vpp2 suspension makes this bike pedal very efficiently. Pedal bob is minimal even under hard pedaling . The weight balance of the Intense SS2 is like nothing else. It's so comfortable at any speed, any pitch or in the air. I recommend this bike for aggressive riders who ride bike parks, shuttle runs and downhill oriented trails.
