TRAIL-FOCUSED
With the 951 XC, Intense delivers a cross-country bike that’s ready for both local trails and epic all-day adventures. Drawing on over 25 years of bike design expertise, this bike is built with modern geometry for confident handling and a smooth ride, no matter the terrain.

MODERN DAY XC
Long, low, and slack geometry, typically seen on downhill bikes, brings an aggressive edge to the 951 XC. This design provides better stability, control, and confidence on descents, making it a game-changer in the world of cross-country bikes.

PREMIUM COMPONENTS
The 951 XC features a carefully selected kit of components, including Fox Rhythm suspension and Sram NX Eagle drivetrain, ensuring superior performance and durability for all riders. These world-class parts make the bike as reliable as it is fun.

PEDALING EFFICIENCY
Designed with XC riders in mind, the suspension system of the 951 XC is tuned for maximum pedaling efficiency. It offers supple responsiveness on small bumps, solid support during hard pedaling, and a smooth, progressive stroke for bigger impacts.

However, each bike has undergone a thorough factory inspection by Intense Cycles to ensure all components and the overall structure are safe and ready for riding.
The extent of wear and tear varies by bike. Please carefully review the photos. Refurbished bikes are offered with a frame-only warranty and do not include the INTENSE Tool Kit.
