AT INTENSE. WE HAVE ONE GOAL -TO PROVIDE THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE //

Our team of designers, engineers, and product experts is focused on one thing every day: your experience on the bike. We build bikes that are as thrilling to look at as they are to ride, and we build them for the select few of you who understand the difference and refuse to settle for anything else. From the early days of INTENSE, when founder Jeff Steber worked alone in his garage to today, where a crew of talented people work in a Temecula, CA factory, INTENSE has been a brand built on passion by forwarding thinkers who, even today, love nothing more than to throw a leg over a sweet bike and head out for a rip. We’re so glad you’ve joined us. Welcome to INTENSE, enjoy your experience.

The Sniper XC
The Sniper XC and FRO builds are ground-up, dedicated, pedaling machines with 100 mm of travel and an eye on the decent. Short travel rigs should descend like their long travel siblings and that’s what we’ve done. This is no “Twitchy XC bike”. With the 29” wheel size and progressive XC geometry, you get a stable ride that goes where you point it.

ASSEMBLY

Preface
Service and maintenance on an INTENSE cycle require special tools, abilities, and knowledge of bicycle mechanics. Although each INTENSE bicycle is supplied with a tool kit, it is recommended to use an authorized INTENSE dealer for service and maintenance. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious bodily injury or death.

Pro tips

  • Use waterproof grease on any metal to carbon interface, including headset, as well as on the metal to the metal interface of threaded BB (Recommended: Maxima Waterproof Grease).
  • After the first few rides and all the components are broken in and settled into place, go through and re-torque all pivot axles and fasteners. After this first adjustment, you will be ready to rip for the long haul.

Torque specifications

Achieving proper torque is vital to ensuring the safe performance and function of the Sniper frame. Failure to do so could result in suboptimal performance of your frame as well as premature wear and tear of individual parts.

Additional reference
In addition to this chart, torque values are laser etched onto corresponding hardware for your reference.

Setup

Preface //
We are almost ready to rip. Just a few more checkpoints and adjustments to ensure the performance and ride characteristics of the Sniper are optimized for you.

Tools needed

  • zip tie + cable spacer
  • shock pump
  • small ruler or measuring device
  • INTENSE Carbon Paste
  • torque wrench

Sniper cable routing //

  1. Feed the zip tie into the cable spacer and around one of the cables before feeding it back thru the spacer and around the second cable. Do not tighten.
  2. Adjust the proper amount of slack in the cables.
  3. Position the cable spacer near the exit holes on the down tube.
  4. Tighten the zip tie to secure the spacer in place.

Important note
When installing the rear brake and derailleur cables, it’s important to position the cables 38 mm (1.5″) away from the bottom surface of the down tube. This allows enough slack in the cables so they do not come under tension when the suspension compresses.

Seatpost

Before insertion, liberally coat the Seatpost with carbon paste and gently slide it into the seat tube. With a minimum Seatpost insertion of 4″, tighten Seatpost clamp to 5 Nm / 45 in-lbs. (Over tightening the Seatpost clamp will inhibit the movement of the seat post and potentially damage Seatpost and/or seat tube.

Setting the sag

  1. Remove fork and shock air caps and be sure you have a shock pump and a small ruler or measuring device handy.

  2. Go ahead and hop on the bike. Be sure to place all your weight on the seat with the dropper in the up position and both hands on the grips.

  3. Give the bike 5-6 moderate bounces and sit back down on the saddle.

  4. Now have your friend slide both the rear shock and the front fork o-rings down against the seal lip of the damper body (Image #1).

  5. Step off the bike nice and easy. Be sure to not compress the suspension after the o-rings have been set.
    Protip
    Here is where having a friend helps. Have them straddle the front wheel and pull the handlebars in an upward direction so as to not allow the suspension to compress as you get off (Image #4).

  6. Using your measuring device, measure the gap between the suspension seal lip and the o-ring. Using the chart on the following page will tell you if you need more air pressure or less air pressure (Images #2, #3).

  7. Adjust air pressure with your shock pump accordingly (Image #5).

  8. Revisit steps 2-6 until your desired sag measurement has been reached.

  9. Install valve caps.

  10. While the suspension is compressed on a fork or rear shock, slide the o-ring down against the seal lip of the damper body.

  11. Release compression.
    Measure gap from o-ring to seal lip.

Set up and tune
Proper setup and tuning can vary from shock to shock. Please consult the Fox manual included with your bike for complete information about setup, tuning, and general maintenance, or visit www.foxracingshox.com. The PSI settings in the following chart are suggestions to quickly set baseline sag. be sure the end of your sag set up results in 30% of rear suspension sag.

Maintenance

General service and care //
You have purchased a high-performance bicycle that requires a certain level of service and maintenance to sustain the level of performance your frame was designed around. Proper care will also ensure the bike is safe to ride at all levels. It is important to read and understand the carbon care information as well as follow the maintenance schedule and inspect your bicycle before each ride. These will not only help to limit or avoid costly repairs but will also help to avoid injury due to service neglect and component failure.

Carbon care //
INTENSE employs advanced composite techniques and materials in our frames which do require a certain level of care and maintenance to ensure a safe experience at the high level of performance each frame is designed around. Not following these guidelines will decrease the level of performance and possibly cause injury or death.

  • Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water to clean the carbon surfaces.
    Do not use high-pressure washers, abrasive cloths, or cleaners.

  • Be sure all frame surfaces in contact with cables are protected.
    Cable housing rubbing on carbon can wear over time.

  • Be sure brake levers, handlebar ends and the fork crown does not contact the frame at full rotation.

  • Never clamp any part of a carbon frame in a bike stand or car rack.

  • Always inspect your frame if you experience any chain suck.

  • Always inspect your frame in full after a crash to be sure there is no damage. Look for cracks, dents, or loose fibers. If you discover the damage to any degree it’s best to have your frame inspected by a qualified INTENSE dealer. Any direct impact on the frame can cause serious structural damage.

  • Use high-grade waterproof grease on Seatpost, BB, and headset bearing contact areas with the carbon.

  • Never ream or face a carbon frame.

  • Be sure to follow all recommended torque settings.

  • Use only genuine replacement parts for safety-critical components.
