The Intense Sniper XC FRO is not just another bike; it's a purpose-built racing machine. At the heart of its design is the Sniper 29 XC monocoque carbon frame, offering a mere 100mm of travel but with every gram accounted for. The combination of RockShox Sid SL Ultimate fork and Sid Luxe Ultimate RL shock ensures responsive handling and optimal performance on the most demanding XC courses. SRAM Level Ultimate Carbon brakes and the groundbreaking SRAM XX1 AXS Eagle drivetrain provide unparalleled control and precision. Wrapped up on DT Swiss XRC 1200 Spline Carbon wheels, the Sniper XC FRO stands as one of the lightest full-suspension XC bikes, ready to take the win.
