Intense Tracer 279 - Expert - Black - 2023

Conquer the Mountain

Designed to handle the demands of Enduro riding, the INTENSE Tracer 279 excels in both rugged descents and challenging climbs. With its latest updates, including Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and SRAM T-Type compatibility, the Tracer 279 stands ready for any trail.

Key Features:

• Advanced Frame Design: The Tracer 279 Frame combines elements from our M29 downhill bike, featuring a bottom link-driven rear shock and a robust suspension system. The rear shock is strategically positioned low and centered to maximize handling and descent performance.

• Chad Storage System: This innovative storage solution integrates into the Tracer, offering a versatile and evolving approach to on-bike storage for trailside repairs and essentials.

• Flip Chip Adjustment: Adjust your bike’s geometry with the 'Flip Chip' feature. The High setting is ideal for technical terrain, while the Low setting enhances performance on smoother trails and bike parks.

• Staggered Wheels: The Tracer 279 is designed around a staggered wheelset—29" front and 27.5" rear—balancing agility and stability for various trail conditions and competitive stages.

• JS Tuned Enduro Link: Jeff Steber’s JS Suspension system ensures a ride that absorbs small bumps, maintains support through mid-stroke, and provides controlled bottom-out. This sophisticated system is tailored to deliver exceptional performance and grip.
