2023 Intense Cycles Tracer 279 Expert XL

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, we believe we have made a bike that can do just that. The Tracer 279 has been upgraded to the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) and SRAM T-Type compatibility.

Borrowing design inspiration and technology from our M29 downhill bike, utilizing its bottom link-driven rear shock and suspension design, we have created a mountain bike with plush travel for the roughest of descents and a firm pedal platform when needed. We've positioned the rear shock low down and centered in the frame, allowing the Tracer to descend and handle terrain impeccably.

Features may include:

  • CHAD STORAGE SYSTEM

The Chad Storage system is an on-bike storage solution that is being introduced on the Tracer. This system is not one individual part but a concept for storage solutions that will continue to evolve.

  • FLIP CHIP ADJUSTMENT

The Tracer 279 has a 'Flip Chip' feature which allows you to alter your bike's geometry between two positions. The High setting is best in technical terrain, while the Low is more suitable for flow and bike park-style riding.

  • STAGGERED WHEELS

The Tracer 279 is designed around a staggered wheelset, meaning 29" in front and 27.5" in the rear. We've found an outstanding balance of agility and stability. The Tracer is ready when the trails get tight, or you're looking to shave time off of race stages.

  • THE JS TUNED ENDURO LINK

We talk about JS Suspension a lot here at INTENSE. JS stands for Jeff Steber (our founder and CEO); simply put, it is a sophisticated suspension system that uses two counter-rotating links to connect the front and rear triangles of the bike. The links are precisely placed to separate the pedaling and braking forces from the suspension performance. Every model in our range has its own personal and specific JS tune.
