Intense Cycles 5.5 EVP Mountain Bike Frame
The Intense 5.5 EVP: Does this frame have the beef to back up its price-tag? You better believe it. As the burly big brother to the revered Spider XVP, the 5.5 boasts the VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) chassis. This coveted design's patented link configuration and axle path redirect some of the pulling force from the chain, counteracting the no-good suspension compression caused by cranking pedals. The balanced forces mean your bike will continue to swallow rocks and roots, rather than locking out the rear suspension. Combined with the considerable 5.5-inch travel, the VPP chassis makes this rig virtually unstoppable during those epic cross-country rides, gnarly DH runs, and burmy singletrack. Not satisfied to leave this mind-blowing technology operating with anything less than top-shelf materials and the most meticulous construction, Intense hand-welded each frame, used the strongest, lightest aluminum alloys, and tested the living hell out of the prototypes, dialing in the geometry with the attention to detail only neurosis can provide and bringing the frames to their limits in a relentless analysis of high-stress areas.
