Bottom Line:
This is a follow-up to a previous post. I have been riding this bike for greater than 9 months. I ride 30 miles or more a week and I have raced the bike a bit. I bought a monoblock rear pivot..this updates the frame to 2007 spec. The frame has been great. I was worried that the pivot bolts would continue to loosen/creek. This is NOT a problem. I love riding this bike. I think this is a great bike for long rides. I also have a giant anthem. The giant is lighter and I think it climbs better. The bottom bracket of the giant is too low and is always smacking rocks/roots. I have been riding a friends specialized epic and I might like this better. Still, I would strongly recommend the spider!

Bottom Line:
i got the special deal sram setup with the ok reba race front and fox rear, still was not cheap, but is worth the $$
i was concerned that the wheels were too heavy and the limited travel of the suspension
my reservations were unfounded, as this bike climbs better than my 24lbs hardtail, an old gt zaskar race bike and sticks to the trail on the climbs and descents so i have to be careful as not to go too fast as i have absolute control
my only regret is that i didnt buy this sooner
the guys at trailhead in san jose were extremely helpful
i dont understand the negative reviews this bike has received as it is made in the usa, so you should buy this one to keep the jobs here

I bought this to save my HT and my HTs last longer. so now I have to purchase a crash replacement at a discounted price and the economy is failing is so is my bank account.

Bottom Line:
Only crashed once because I wasnt paying attention. However the bike rides like a dream. Singletrack, fireroads, street riding, the bike does it all. I use it for general purpose trail riding. I like the lightweight frame and the ability to be able to climb almost any hill. The powdercoat finish is great, no nicks or paint chips like most other frames on the market. I've popped over logs and some small boulders and the bike hasnt let me down. The VPP bearings has been changed once and it was easy to do. I think this version is burlier than the Santa Cruz Blur, the rear triangle seems to have more support. It doesnt flex much on sharp turns which is great for such a lightweight frame. Highly recommend the 2.3 WTB Timberwolf kevlar folding tires as well as it helps grip the dirt 120% more than other tires.

Bottom Line:
A fantastic piece of kit. I've done about 2,000km with this bike and have thoroughly enjoyed every one. The frame is light and stiff, and the suspension is there when you need it and otherwise invisible. There is no discernible pedal bob and when climbing the VPP linkage keeps the rear end stuck to the ground. Descending and cornering it's taut and under control, always feeling like you could go faster. The bike is at it's best when hammering along a twisty bit of single track. No bearing or frame issues at all and I'm 6'1" and 200lbs. I do, however, really only ride XC -no DH-type descents and no big drops, and the bike is meticulously maintained by me and my LBS which, given the cost, only makes sense, right? It's expensive, but if you want the top of the heap for XC use then look no further...

This bike really works. It climbs better than any Specialized and still has active feeling suspension. When I have ridden a few of the Specialized Epics and Fuels, they always feel harsher than this bike. The Santa Cruz Blur and Marins are similar but this bike still has the best balance and feel I have tried. There are small problems with the pivots but Intense has been very good at helping over the years and really for the past 18 months I have not had a bottom pivot come out again. I am riding my third spider and all have been great. There are lighter bikes and bigger travel bikes but for all day riding and racing you cannot beat the Spider. Just look at the World Xterra Championships and you will see 2-3 Intense Spiders in the top 10, more than any other bike. It still gets attention on the trail and looks great after all the pounding I give it.

I retightened it and am going to lock tite it closed once I get some lock tite... This bike is fast out of the gate and can easily keep up with the more race specific bikes out there (Fuel, Scalpel, etc.) Now the question is can the rider keep up... we'll see.

Bottom Line:
This has been my go to bike for racing and fast paced XC rides for two and a half years and I couldn't be happier. Reading this site before purchasing the frame, I was aware of the bearing issues others have had and took precautionary measures. Firstly, I painted red dots to be able to check if the pivots were backing off (the LBS guy looked at me as if I was Jesus!). Secondly, I apply a silicone sealer in the lower pivot area on occasion to try to help keep mud and dust out. Thirdly, I had the pivots loctited. My red dot tricked showed me that the pivots were backing off fractionally after a few rides so I had them loctited two years ago. No movement at all since then. The bike continues to perform as new with its initial set of bearings. There is no perceptible bob, and on adding King Hubs and Magura Marta SLs to the equation earlier this year, I am amazed by the stiff responsiveness of this setup. A1.
I ride this bike within its limits - it is by no means bomb proof but it's ridden hard and fast over XC terrain. I have a Heckler for free-ride, steep rocky descent and winter mud rides.

Strengths:
Excellent climber due to VPP and short chain stays. Perfect for dry weather XC riding and racing. Best FS design for up and down hills from a pedaling perspecitve.
Weaknesses:
limited mud clearance in the rear triangle. Bearing replacement is challenging. The bushing system of Turner is superior from an engineering viewpoint. Changing the VPP bearings is a pain that needs to be done. I change them once they aren't perfectly smooth. This frame is way more active when the bearings are "fresh". I had the pivot bolts come loose at first but with loctite it's not an issue.
Similar Products Used:
Gaint NRS, tried my brothers 6.6 as well. Older racing frames I've owned are so numberous I don't want to list them.
Bike Setup:
I've installed the new shock linkage from Push Industries. F100RLT up front, Swinger in back. XTR with XT wheelset. Disc brakes are the only way to go.
Bottom Line:
Rides really well when tuned up with smooth bearings. This is a great bike for someone who rides in dry conditions and is good at maintenence. If a potential owner is not up to changing the pivot bearings I'd stay away from it. The rear end will still move when the bearings are shot so at some point the VPP linkage will need to be removed to check the actual bearing smoothness by hand. In other words, rides unreal but a lot of work to keep perfect.

Weaknesses:
I had to ream the headtube a lot before I could press in the headset. The slot on top of the seat tube is not centered directly in the middle - instead it is positioned in the back and slightly to the side. Maybe this has a purpose. I think it is most likely shotty workmanship. Take Intense's tire width recommendations seriously. I purchased a nice set of Intense tires to compliment the frame. Both of the tires, one worse than the other, when mounted correctly woble to the side giving an appearance of a bent rim. Several years ago I had the same problem and had to send a set of Intense tires back. these tires are junk. In my oppinion the top tube is also a bit long on the smaller frames.
Similar Products Used:

Bottom Line:
Overall, the bike has been fine but I do take issue with the mildly shotty workmanship. This is irritating considering the price of the frame and the arrogance I have encountered by some individuals representing Intense. This is a good bike if you don't mind limited tire clearance and you want to run canilever brakes. The rear triangle on this bike is quite impressive. The VPP linkage feels like there is more than 4" travel and is very smooth paired with the Fox RP3. I have had no bearing/linkage problems. Another little thing....The guys at Intense need to step up the appearance of the warranty card. I realize this might seem like a dorky point but after spending a fair amount of money on this "Elite" product, I felt a bit duped as I filled out a crappy warranty card containing text that was barely legible then finished with a crooked scissor job across the top resembling the paper cutouts performed by my two year old. Anyway good luck.

Bottom Line:
Great bike! Yes this is a high maintenance machine due to bearings, but worth it. This is definitely a racing and technical epic riding bike. I cannot recommend this bike for super rocky high speed descents and big drops the head tube is too steep to inspire confidence on the gnarly. This bike excels on big climbs, racing and moderate rocky terrain, which is 90% of the riding from Aspen to Glenwood Springs. I am more disappointed in the Shimano XTR dual control levers, brakes and craapy chain rings more than anything else. Go SRAM and save yourself some aggravation. I have worn through 2 sets of XTR rings at ~$150/set of rings which is ridiculous and 2 rear deraileurs. The 2003 XTR disc brakes are high maintenance (drag and howl). In all fairness the XTR wheels are awesome. The dual control shifter were causing ghost shifting and had me and my LBS confused for 2 years. After I switched to SRAM my shifting became flawless...thanks to Nick and Ute City Cycles.

Bottom Line:
Being a tiny lass, 5'6' weighing 57kg, this little spyder is the best bike I could possibly ask for. When i first got it after the 2nd ride or so the bottom pivot had worked loose but thanks to a suggestion by somebody on here we filed a divot in the bearing screw so the grub screw could lock it and two years down the road it has not come un done, yet!! Living in the UK I do not have the lovely dusty trails of many fellow americans etc, alot of my riding is done in mud and rain, because of this the bearings did and do take a hammering and have seized up. But I have found a local dealer who can supply replacements so i just by a load and carry them with me. Yes the frame is expensive and there should be no need to do this but it is just such a great ride its worth the hassle. The key thing is MAINTENANCE - which all bikes need! I am not a XC rider, I dont race and dont intend to. I ride trails every weekend with a group of lads all sporting bikes with 6+ inches of travel my spider keeps up with them, it takes the rough with the smooth and sometimes even beats them. For someone of a small frame like me looking for a light weight trail bike i would strongly recommend it. I run mine with 125mm of front travel - more than recommended by intense and does void warranty but I have had no trouble. Combined with the 5th element air air shock it climbs like a treat and just eats up the decents. The only time I would consider changing it is if I suddendly turned into a hefferlump therefore needing more travel - but if that time does come I think I will be really stuck trying to find a replacement. My advice go and by one NOW!

I've beaten the hell out of this bike in the 2 years I've owned it. It survived the 2005 Transrockies, and performed amazing. Like I mentioned earlier, the only problem is the lowest pivot bolt which keeps breaking in the middle of the threads. When I origionaly baught the bike , this bolt kept coming lose. Some lock tight helped hold it in place, but it broke anyway. THe only other issue I had with it was the bearings. The side walls completly erroded away, and the bearings were distroyed. Intense replaed them with an upgrade kit under warrently, along with the pivot bolt. The bearings being distroyed might have had something to do with 3 days and 300 Km of mud in the Trans. Other than that, the bike is a great performer, and probably saved my life a few times during the race. Highly recommended.

It is like buying a ferrari or a pre-Ford Jag - ownership is truly a relationship that you have to invest in; if you do, you'll be amply rewarded.
