Named after the area code of Intense’s Southern California hometown, the 951 line taps into the reason we ride, it’s fun. Whether you dream of singletrack, love riding your hometown trails, or are looking to get competitive in the local cross-country scene, the 951 XC is ready to roll. Stable geometry, similar to that used on the winning Sniper line, keeps the XC nimble in the corners, stiff on the climbs, and planted on the descents. An efficient SRAM 1x12 drivetrain delivers your power to the trail, while suspension from Fox keeps the ride smooth. Based on a light and strong carbon fibre frame, and outfitted with great components, this bike is a solid choice for riders of all skill levels.
