Dominate XC Racing with the Intense Sniper FRO
The Intense Sniper FRO represents the race-ready, no-nonsense offering from the Intense cross-country selection of full suspension mountain bikes. FRO, standing For Racing Only, offers not only one of the lightest production full suspension XC bikes on the market but with a top drawer build that will help you stay at the front of the bunch come race day.
Though the Sniper FRO settles comfortably into the XC category with its 100mm travel front and back, there is a decidedly modern feel and flair to the Sniper FRO thanks to the progressive geometry. The engineers at Intense designed the XC Sniper line to be able to descend with the best of the enduro machines out there while not losing any of the snappy agility of an XC racer.
They manage to mix those desires by applying the long, low, and slack geo numbers that have swept the discipline to the type of tuned suspension that will help keep the pedaling efficient, especially on out of the saddle climbs. A longer top tube paired with a shorter stem and wide bars make for a highly controllable rig, while the slacker head angle and lower bottom bracket enhance the feeling of a well-balanced bike.
Supreme Suspension in the Sniper FRO
The JS Suspension for the Sniper FRO, like all the Intense suspensions, comes thanks to the founder and CEO, Jeff Steber. Focusing on optimized pedal performance, the shock has been tuned to perform for typical trail terrains while the suspension offers the supple sensitivity for small bumps that will make it more efficient for out of the saddle climbs. The excellent progression through the end of the stroke means you’ll never get caught bottoming out.
Kitted out with the Rockshox Sid SL Ultimate Fork, Sid Luxe Ultimate RL shock, and a full SRAM AXS XX1 drivetrain, the Intense Sniper FRO couldn’t come with a higher spec or greater promise of performance, confidence, stability, and shredding speed.
