2023 Intense Cycles Sniper T Expert SM

With the Sniper T, we have created a pure full-suspension cross-country trail bike with a true INTENSE spirit. Running on 29" wheels, supported by 120mm/120mm suspension and a SRAM GX drivetrain, this bike is all you need.

With the same soul as its sibling, the Sniper T features a lightweight carbon frame, 29” wheels, and a progressive XC trail geometry but this time with 120mm of travel. The extra 20mm of suspension compared to our Sniper XC gives the bike superb off-road speed up and down and a slightly plusher ride. It is fast, fiery, and fun, a genuinely innovative XC trail bike… INTENSE style.

Features may include:

  • MODERN DAY XC

It’s all about geometry. Long, low, and slack is no longer just for the downhill crowd, it’s the ‘new normal’ for XC trail bikes too. Truly a game-changer. We believe that short-travel bikes should descend like their long-travel siblings, so we created an XC trail bike with an aggressive downhill spirit with the Sniper T.

  • LIGHT, FAST, AGILE, FUN

We know that riding the Sniper will fill you with confidence. Climbing, descending, or cruising along… it does it all with powerful yet efficient ease. The way the Sniper covers the ground so quickly and effortlessly is inspiring, and it is nothing short of a revelation on the descents.

  • OPTIMIZED PEDALING

Our engineering team focused on optimized pedaling performance for the Sniper T, tweaking the shock tune to suit typical XC riding terrain. The suspension was designed for supple sensitivity on small bumps, mid-support for hard pedaling efficiency, and excellent progression to the end of the stroke.

  • THE JS TUNED XC LINK

What this means is that you get a supple and sensitive ride that initially absorbs small bumps, then seamlessly moves into a supportive mid-stroke platform (which helps to maintain ride height) and finally into a controlled ramp-up towards bottom-out. All this translates into a very predictable ride that offers plenty of support, can tackle anything, and gives endless grip in all situations.
