Intense Tazer Alloy

[IntenseScotia]

Picked this up a couple weeks ago now. First Ebike and came from a Bird Aether 9 but wadnt getting much use as lacked the fitness/motivation to get out all day on it.


Loving this though, ridden more in the last couple weeks than I did in months with the old bike.

Intense Tazer Alloy Pro, chose this mainly as a mate is a dealer but was debating going to a CF Mondraker but for the spec the Tazer has its a proper bargain IMO


Have changed the seat post to a Reverb AXS and went to some Renthal bars. Debating doing full AXS down the line to tidy it up a bit

Don't have many other plans, change of saddle to an Ergon and maybe a 220mm front rotor


Don't think there are many more of them about, especially in Scotland so quite a rare thing.

Saddle changed to an Ergon SM E pro, way better for me than the SDG V3 that came on it.

Also have a set of pinnd cranks to go on and some Burgtec Mk5s to gain another 13mm of clearance as pedal strikes are getting tiresome

Wanna change the front tyre to an Assegai as well as that's what I ran on my old bike and find It way better on the front than the minion

Looking good! I had two Intense analog frames. But Intense did a nice Taser upgrade this year for a more streamlined down tube alloy option...plus no more potbelly (although it was a better CG for easier hopping).

if only their carbon version looked as good as their alloy one.
I still have an intense Carbine, great bike, but sitting pretty much unused.

Going by what the guy that sold me it told me there should be a new carbon one arriving at some point. Was actually tempted by the CF one as it had full Ohlins and a spare battery but was advised to go alloy as there wasnt much difference weight wise and a new one was inbound. Hope it arrives and is far slimmer look wise

Few updates

Always struggled to get the suspension feeling right so bike went up to BC Suspension and Ben worked his magic, Forks got a full strip service and a Luftkappe added, miles better. Rear shock also got sent off and replaced for a MY24 under warranty


Also binned the maxxis tyres, just wadnt getting on with them like I did on my analogue bike so went Conti Kryptotals and wow, huge improvement.

Have also just ordered X01 AXS for it, Not the new transmission version mind you but it cost half of what that would of. The TRP stuff is good but I'm a sucker for shiny bits and I hate how untidy Ebike cockpits look

220mm front rotor, Ashima sintered pads front and rear, full AXS and a trip up to Heartbreak Ridge

Cable routing looks proper weird in that photo, it's not that bad in person
