For Race Only.

Says it all really, dedicated to getting you to the finish line fast the Intense M9 FRO has one job to do and it does it well.

With a legacy unrivaled by any other DH bike, a direct descendant of the M1, the M9 FRO has been tweaked and improved over the years to match today's grueling and demanding World Cup courses.

Hand welded, custom Easton tubing sees the M9 being lovingly crafted by a select few master builders at Intense's production facility in Temecula, Southern California.

The M9 is packed with a plethora of neat features such as the pinch bolt 1.5" headtube designed to accept the Cane Creek angleset, allowing for +/- 1° head angle adjustment. The G3 dropout system which allows you to run any rear axle/hub combination and not to forget the adjustable travel between 8.5" and 9.5".

Just a few of the well thought out touches that equate to a bike that you can fine tune to your needs.

Pinkbike Review

"The M9 is an incredible ride for the privateer racer or a pro team unburdened by a bicycle sponsor. While it isn't cheap, it can be set up for just about any rider and track, and it comes with a heritage that makes it more than a DH bike. Intense cuts the metal, machines the parts, welds, heat treats, and assembles every M9 in its Temecula factory. That and a history as long as the World Cup Downhill circuit makes the M9 it an easy choice if you are looking for a bike to take to the races."

Available with Cane Creek DB or Fox RC4 Kashima

Created in conjunction with Santa Cruz, the VPP suspension design balances different forces to eliminate unwanted compression without limiting bump absorption. The downward force on your pedals pushes most full suspension bikes down, resulting in unwanted suspension compression. VPP bikes use a patented link configuration and axle path to apply some of the pulling force from the chain to counteract that motion caused by pedaling. Because the forces are balanced, VPP bikes remain able to absorb bumps when pedaling, unlike other designs that effectively lock out the rear suspension by applying too much chain pulling force. What you end up with is plush travel with no pedal-induced compression or lockout and no need for manual lockouts or other compromises.

VPP bikes are designed to be ridden with sufficient sag to provide truly active suspension, meaning the suspension compresses (positive travel) and extends (negative travel) with rises and dips in the trail. A VPP owner rides in a suspended “pocket” with ample positive and negative travel available to maintain traction and momentum in all trail conditions, even while pedaling.
