    Intense Tracer 29 Trailbike… Coming Soon

    Jason MitchellBy Jason MitchellMarch 25, 20102 Comments1 Min Read

    When the all-new Intense Tracer VP was launched, the people cheered and magazine editors gushed as it delivered a quality ride in legendary Intense form. Wanting to extend that same ride quality to big-hoop disciples, Intense is introducing the Tracer 29 for 2010.

    Sporting adjustable travel between 5 and 5.5-inches, calculated geometry for agile and capable all-mountain handling all wrapped up in the 2nd-generation VPP design, the new Tracer 29 looks to push more nay-sayers into enjoying the big wheel phenomenon.

    Looks like the final geometry and weight is still under wraps, but MSRP will be $2280 with availability in May/June 2010. A beautiful-looking new 29er I’m dying to check out in person: Interbike can’t come soon enough!

    In the meantime, enjoy a few pics of the Tracer 29:

    A native of the Pacific Northwest, Jason quickly developed a love for the outdoors and a thing for mountains. That infatuation continues as he founded this site in 1999 -- sharing his love of road biking, mountain biking, trail running and skiing. That passion is channeled into every article or gear review he writes. Utah's Wasatch Mountains are his playground.

      Jason –

      Any word on this bike?

      I am still on the 26er bandwagon, especially after riding a pair of new Stumpjumper FSR’s at their demo days (26″ & 29″). The 29er simply did not feel snappy and agile enough in the FSR category, especially when your a rider that likes to hop/jump/twist a lot such as myself.

      Still watching while the 29″ FS bikes get sorted out, but wanted to see the scoop on this Intense and any other news out there?

      I am hoping my future has a 29er FS bike with ~110mm of travel, 15mm front fork, ~27lbs stock, and non-race geometry that turns quick enough.

      Let me know your thoughts.

        I got word that the Tracer 29 is available now through Intense dealers. I’m anxious to get onboard and have been told that I may be able to get a sample bike in the next few months, so we’ll see. When you get on the right 29er, you will only notice some slight degradation in low-speed handling, but a good 29er will still feel flickable and fun.

        The Niner RIP 9 is really, really fun to ride and plays well. It feels like a fun 26er at speed, but still has trouble at low-speeds and tight stuff. It’s a small tradeoff for faster rolling and smoothness, I guess.

        29ers are still not for everyone and there are a ton of great 26er trailbikes on the market today. However, my personal opinion is that a 29er with more than 100-120mm travel is overkill.
