Sooooo, here's some more tidbits on the newest bike from Intense that we are all salivating in anticipation of. It's still a prototype (mostly) but the details are beginning to iron out. The lower shock link will have 2 mounting holes that will yeild either 5.5 or 6" of travel. This will be a little brother to the enormously popular 6.6, right down to the shaped monocoque top tube and the 1.5 steerer tube.
Intense does not currently have a name for this bike yet. If you've got a good name, let them know. If Intense picks your suggestion for the name, you've won a new bike! More info on the Intense website here.
Here's the stats so far...
5.5 w/ 140mm fork, 6"w/160mm
HA @ 69 in 5.5"
HA @ 67.5 in 6"
SA @ 73 in 5.5
SA @ 71.5 in 6"

TT @ 22" sm, 23"med,24" lrg, 25"XL
ST@16" sm, 17.5 med, 18.5 lrg, 19.5 XL
Grease ports to lube the pivot bearings, too!
The first production run is scheduled for August and they are going to go quick. We're taking preorders now. Pricing will be in the $2200 neighborhood for frame with a Fox RP23 rear shock.

There's going to be a lovingly used 5.5 for sale this summer. This bike looks right up my alley.
