2025 Intense Sniper XC PRO
IntenseThe Sniper XC makes its return with a fresh set of components that work together seamlessly, catering to riders who favor extended endurance rides and seek a lightweight carbon bike with excellent pedal efficiency. The Pro model includes high-performance RockShox suspension and an electronic drivetrain by SRAM. The 29" wheels, modern geometry, and proven suspension kinematics make any trail a blast!
The Sniper XC boasts a lightweight carbon fiber frame complimented with lightweight DT Swiss rims and a carbon fiber dropper. This XC machine is all about speed whether up or down hills. It is fast, and stylish, the INTENSE way.
Wireless Precision
The 2024 Sniper XC Pro features SRAM's new transmission drivetrain, providing excellent shifting under heavy pedal strokes, and ease of use with its seamless setup and minimal maintenance.
Updated Components
With the upgraded suspension platform featuring the RockShox SID Select+ and SIDLuxe Shock, paired with the responsive DT Swiss XR1700 wheels, you attain a solid and swift foundation for generating speed on both uphill climbs and descents.
Optimized Pedaling
For the Sniper XC our engineering team focused on optimized pedaling performance, 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.
Frame
Full carbon fiber front and rear triangle utilizing an optimized carbon layup for the XC category. Features fully guided internal cable routing, carbon top link, titanium hardware, and Press-Fit BB, Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), SRAM T-Type compatible.
