This INTENSE, lightweight, full-suspension XC bike with 100mm travel is designed for agility, quick speed, and steep climbs. The latest Sniper XC frame has been upgraded to the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and SRAM T-Type compatibility.

The Sniper XC is all about off-road speed both up and down. It is fast and fiery, a truly innovative XC bike. It loves going uphill, but it always has one eye on the descents. A longer toptube, shorter stem, wider bars, lower bottom bracket, and slacker head angle all make for an exciting yet balanced bike. It is a complete system that is designed to work as one. Featuring a super lightweight full carbon frame (4lbs 5oz size Medium), rolling on 29" wheels, with progressive XC geometry. The Sniper XC is all about off-road speed both up and down. It is fast and fiery, a truly innovative XC bike

MODERN DAY XC

Its all about geometry. Long, low, and slack is no longer just for the downhill crowd, its the new normal for XC trail bikes too its really a game-changer. We believe that short-travel bikes should descend like their long-travel siblings, so with the Sniper XC, we've created an XC trail bike with an aggressive DH spirit.

LIGHT, FAST, AGILE, FUN

We know that riding the Sniper will fill you with confidence. Climbing, descending, or cruising along it does it all with powerful yet efficient ease. The way the Sniper covers the ground so quickly and effortlessly is inspiring, and it is nothing short of a revelation on the descents.

OPTIMIZED PEDALING

For the Sniper XC our engineering team focused on optimized pedaling performance and tweaking the shock tune to suit typical XC riding terrain. The suspension for the Sniper was designed for supple sensitivity on small bumps, mid-support for hard pedaling efficiency in and out of the saddle, and a good progression to the end of the stroke.

THE JS TUNED XC LINK

We talk about JS Suspension a lot here at INTENSE. JS stands for Jeff Steber (our founder and CEO); simply put, it is a sophisticated suspension system that uses two counter-rotating links to connect the front and rear triangles of the bike. The links are precisely placed to separate the pedaling and braking forces from the suspension performance. Every model in our range has its own personal and specific JS tune.
