A friend of mine has one. He bought it before Covid bike prices went insane and he paid about 3k for it. I have seen the price drop as low as 1500 on them but 2k is super solid price even though its basically a 4 year old design at this point. Also is an XC bike. Its not meant to have a ton of travel on it.

Hi, it seems to be a great bike, please a test run is a must. I would add the clearance of the tire on the back tubes is a bit narrow if you want to put wider tires. Sure there are some upgrades to do, but for $252, is way worth it. Thanks for the video, best regards to you from Venezuela

@wolftickvideos Can you please note which forks are tapered head tube design and which ones are not? I'm looking for the best budget fork for my GT Aggressor Pro.

I'm tempted

This guys the original HUCK TWAH girl 😂 got all over that valve

I commented about this bike a few months ago that it was on sale at Cosco! Love this bike great parts and specs on it! Only thing I would change is the breaks I would rather use shimano or sram breaks. I bought the 140 mm bike

Seems to perform really well. The question with these forks is how durable and serviceable are they? For not much more you can get a low end name brand fork that will last and have service kits available.

$450 as of July 1st 😢😢😢

Intense is a premium brand that has been around for a long time. Jeff Steber (owner) has been making downhill bikes that were repainted/ re- branded and several top brand’s riders won races on Intense bikes. I have been riding an Intense Carbine 29er for about a decade, and I would say that if you can find a brand new Intense carbon bike for $2,000 and can afford, buy it! All Intense full suspension bikes use the vpp suspension platform. (Virtual pivot point).

Hi ! Wacthing from Tri-cities Washington

I know it’s been a long time but just wanna hear your opinion which one is the best between this Mongoose Durham 26 and Genesis stone series 27.5 inch. ? Thank you my idol 🤜🏼🤛🏼🫶🏼

the marzocchi you reviewed before is made by fox it has the same air spring as that fox 34 on the intense but a downgraded damper

I ride an intense Enduro, that bike is legit. The fork is specd down for price.point. Intense is top of the food chain. It is not overpriced.

If I could find one in my area for that price, I would buy it without thinking twice...Other brands with similar parts will set you back twice that...

Hey guys, love the videos especially for the GT Aggressor Pro. Just getting around to upgrading my GTAP's drive chain. Have the Acolyte system in my shopping cart and getting ready to pull the trigger, so to speak...did you also replace the derailer hanger? Seems like a good time to replace it, but didn't see it listed in the affiliate links. Cheers!

Intense is one of those I would called it, designer brand. They have been around for awhile, never considered them cause the price. FB groups were going crazy a couple months ago about this 951 at Costco. For $2k, that is a killer deal, I would buy it, if I can find one. Sadly, Costco in my surrounding state doesn't carry it.

Well a lot of people are saying these are good bikes for the price. So I finally decided to up the bike I’ve been riding for 20 years now to this. Still going to keep my old mongoose xr-100 and fix it up again but finally bought a new bike.

Yea buddy

My Daughter Deanna bought the newest version of the Vibe yesterday . 15" small 27.5 . Would like for you guys to check it out and give info on bottom crankset and rear wheel cassette 12 speed upgrade ideas.

Been doing this a while and dont know about Intense?

As someone who has purchased a Schwin Axum DP (upgraded it) and also purchased the Intense 951 XC I can tell you the Intense was a far better value. I purchased the Axum DP during the pandemic, prices got ridiculous and there was no inventory. Decent frame with horrible components. I upgraded the fork with a Rock Shox Recon. Upgraded the brakes with Shimano Hydraulic. Upgraded the pedals. It was still a very mediocre riding experience. Upgrades still needed. Tires, handlebars, drivetrain. Total cost so far: $800.00+. With needed upgrades the total cost will be $1000.00+. Then there is time and frustration. And what I have in the end is a bike that I have a lot of time and money invested in the I don't enjoy riding. I was in Costco the other day and saw the Intense 951. Original price was $3600.00, marked down to $1999.00. I went to the front desk to see how many they had thinking I might pick one up later. That was the last one in Idaho. It was the floor model. The manager gave me another 200.00 off. So, I paid $1800.00. If you buy them in the box, they come with a tool kit and a shock pump. The rear triangle is carbon fiber. All of the components are premium quality. It is a cross-country bike, so it appropriately has 120mm travel on the suspension and narrower tires. There is a trail version that has a different frame same shocks with longer travel and fatter tires. Intense has these identical bikes under different names sold for around $4000.00 on their website. As of right this moment Intense has "open box" bikes identical to the ones Costco sold for around $3200.00. I am guessing these are returns. I have been able to go on a couple rides and I find the bike absolutely delightful. Very capable, stable and light. This bike is an incredible value at $1999.97 (97 cents means that is the lowest price that item at costco). I would recommend that you guys buy one if they are still available and review it.

Hi watching from Tri-cities Washington

Dudes. Its an xc bike.. first fox fork? Talking about 2 different bikes here.

951 is a sub/ series brand affordable from intense. Intense is huge ? 😆 🤙

I have to say thanks to you guys ! I started mountain biking last summer with "cheap" full suspension (hyper vicking trail pro) watching your video gave me the confidence to upgrade it with budget parts and now im loving it thanks to you guys and your budget upgrade series !🤟

That frame is full carbon fiber and weighs 28.4 lbs. Sub $2000 for a full carbon frame with that component spec is a great price.

Man I was way off on the score! Impressive fork for the money!

im shocked you guys haven't heard of intense? maybe they don't have a distributor in your area?? they are a solid brand. being carbon and spec'd decent, 1999? seems reasonable to me.

Nah i like the candid recovery in post. Good show, guys.

I’m weird, but then normal is boring! I’m going to say this will rate at about 25.5ish. I think the funny feeling you’re getting of that lower in the dyno will develop into a lack of suppleness with use.

I used to ride an Intense Socom DH bike about 10 years ago all kitted out with Hope tech and Fox and a set of slackers on the rear , it's probably the best DH bike I've ridden

Sounds Like a great deal🎉

If you don't see welds on the frame it's most likely carbon fiber

Intense is a really big brand, they were all over the mountain bike magazines in the 2000's back when magazines was still a thing. I haven't heard much about them lately until now.

That is a killer deal for a carbon frame Intense mtb. It is also pretty well-spec'd. The Fox 34 is a great XC fork and that looks like a Fox DPS shock. The fork has a rebound adjustment and a compression damper. Do you expect a bike to cost $1999 and have a $1000 Fox Fork w a Grip 2 damper? If the shock is a Fox DPS, it has a 3 position compression lever-- open, trail, and lockout.

the snow globe moment crack me up haha ! I've heard of intense, being a frenchy tho i've never seen one here in stores or in the wild. for 2K, it's sounds like a great deal. similar bike from other manufacturer are more in the 3K and up range.

Great review as always guys. Is it possible for you to check out the bolany or bucklos inverted dual crown fork? It looks so good but I can't find a single review for it online

It is the SRAM DB8 A 1 caliper compatible with the SRAM Level T lever?

Intense is not Marin, matter of fact, Intense is one of those high end brands that everybody lust about and that is the less expensive trim in the carbon fiber line up. Even the bottle cage is carbon fiber. Very popular here in Miami. They used to be handmade in USA, now they are built in Taiwan.

Is it me or the Wolfman has lost some weight .... he looks slender.

I have an Intense 951 trail. This thing is amazing, best bike I’ve ever had and I have everything from DB, GT, Specialized, Trek and most recently Giant. This is a $3500+ bike any day. Do some research on the Intense brand so you don’t look dumb, Google is your friend 😂.

Who changed the settings on the go pro? I'm looking at you Tick😂😂😂 The bikes got some great kit on it, I think it's a decent price considering the spec. I think I'd rather build a bike though and get exactly what you want 😎🍻👍

Fork needs air. It’s a XC bike. Put tokens in the fork and then feel the difference.

the affiliate link is broken fyi. and sadly looks like the 29" forks are only 120mm no 140mm on ebay

Hey Tick I just got an Intense Sniper XC Expert straight from Intense, bike is full carbon, weighs 25lbs with a Fox 32 fork and Fox Dps in the rear. SLX drive train. Superlight weight and fast with Maxxis Rekon Race tires. Great company, came with an awesome tool kit which had a shock pump, torque wrench and sealant with tubeless valve stems.

At that price, buy as many as you can get your hands on!

Agreed, this fork would look great on the new Axum Comp X . Enjoyed the new format for reviewing the forks. Hayes Creek needs some work for sure , that trail not in the best shape at the moment. Next time check out the Red Lick Trails in Clarksville, specifically the Talihina Tour trail. Lots of big berms and tabletops and it's in great shape. You can also check out the black diamond Raven trail. You'll definitely want to scout that one first though!

Intense was one of only four brands that had rights to use the horst link patent. John Tomac rode Intense for a while. They became crap when they moved to building completes. Back in their heyday, they sold frame only.

I would love for you to buy this and review a truly capable bike. Most of your viewers started with the budget builds and have moved on to better bikes. It’s time for Wolftick to step into the next chapter and grow with their viewers. I love watching you guys but my interest in another Walmart bike is limited and I’m guessing so is most of the longtime viewers. Please start to review better bikes and parts.

Intense has been making quality bikes for decades. That same bike is 3500 on Intense's website. That is a 150/140 bike . The fork and shock moat likely doesn't have any air pressure in them. Which is why the felt the way they did I doubt Costco has a shock pump laying around..
