Intense was at Sea Otter this year, showing off cool new bikes as usual. This bike does not yet have a name or a production date yet, but is likely to replace the 5.5.

Think monocoque top tube and 1.5" head tube like the 6.6.

Also has a travel adjust shock mount ala Tracer.

All new for this year is a retrofittable grease port for the lower linkage. Good stuff!

I'll follow all of this up with quick image of a production Intense. Here's a sneak peak at Brian's new Spider. Another 29er in the house!
