Intense Introduces the All-New Tracer 29

The new INTENSE Tracer 29 has been completely reengineered for 2022. With 170mm (6.7”) of travel and a 29” wheelset the Tracer 29, alongside our mixed wheel Tracer 279, completes our Enduro bike line-up (the Tracer 29 takes the place of INTENSE Carbine in our Enduro range).

An Enduro bike needs to do two things: eat-up mountainous terrain on the downhills, and climb back up to do it all again. With our new Tracer 29 we believe we have made a bike that can do just that. Much like our Tracer 279 we have created a bike that is capable, whilst also being fast, fun and agile, but with 29” wheels front and rear giving greater stability and trail flattening speed.

The Tracer 29 borrows inspiration and technology from our M29 downhill bike, utilizing its bottom link driven rear shock and progressive rear suspension – designed to be active and lively at the start of travel, with solid mid stroke support, and then firming up towards the end. This creates a bike with plush suspension for the roughest of descents, and a firm pedal platform when needed.

We’ve also positioned the rear shock low down and centered in the frame, allowing the Tracer to descend and handle terrain impeccably. The Tracer is available in four sizes (M, L and XL), and with a reach ranging from 455mm-505mm, a 64.4º headangle (HI setting), and a 77.7º seatangle (Effective) the Tracer is very much in line with the new-school way of thinking when it comes to ‘longer, lower, slacker’ geometry. Add in Flip Chip two-position adjustable geometry, our CHAD in-frame storage system and a threaded bottom bracket and you have a bike that ticks all the Enduro boxes.

The Tracer has been in our range for nearly two decades, and we believe that the all-new Tracer represents everything INTENSE stands for in 2022 and beyond.
