Thisframe features adjustable travel from 5.5 to 6 inches and thenext-generation of VPP suspension design, and the end result could bethe "do-it-all" frame you've been waiting for. And it is versatileenough to be built up as anything from a lightweight XC-style trailbiketo an aggressive-use machine with a big fork and brakes. And this "revision 2" version of the Tracer now features ISCG tabs so that you can use the Truvativ Hammerschmidt, or a Chainguide system.

Featuring the first ever adjustable-travel VPP suspension design, the versatile Intense Tracer VP is the ideal all-mountain, do-it-all, quiver-of-one mountain bike. The Tracer lets you choose between 5.5 and 6 inches of rear travel and boasts the newest incarnation of the lauded VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) design. Its beautifully hydroformed monocoque top tube provides loads of stand over clearance for ultimate maneuverability, while remaining one of the most laterally stiff all-mountain chassis ever developed by Intense. The Tracer VP gives you freedom of choice – build it up to be the ultimate cross country endurance ride, or a super D assassin. *Pre-ISCG 2009 model. Adapter required to accept ISCG chain guide.

Excellent geometry

Rating:*****

I love this frame. I had a Yeti 575 before getting my Intense Tracer. I thought that the Yeti 575 was the best bike I had ever ridden ... until I demoed the Tracer... and I was sold. Not sure how to describe it -- I feel unbelievably agile on this bike. It's also more comfortable on longer rides.

Sick A** trail bike

Rating:*****

I demoed one of these last year right before they were released and was so impressed. It feels really great on long rides and the descending prowess is second to none. The hydroformed tubes are a work of art and the 1.5 headtube is absolutely genius.
