This is intended as a general guide. If you have specific questions about spec or riding styles please view our website or contact our rider support team.

Yep, no regrets with my 951 trail decision 🙂

[@WestUCoog]

Picked the trail from costco. Read reviews that its more versatile. I'll only have one bike so I went with the trail. Love it. I probably would have been happy with the XC as well. Great bikes!

I’m lovin my 951 XC more and more each ride! I just dialed in the suspension, and it feels like a totally different bike! It completely rips the downhills and flow trails as if it gained suspension travel! Thank you intense! 😍👍

[@bruceadams8696]

Thank you guys. This video really helped me make my decision (in my case for the XC).

[@BruthaVIII]

Same. Ordered my XC yesterday.

[@carpediem381]

Too bad not enough CZcams reviewers get to review Intense bikes.

[@BYF1228]

I have the 951 trail. can u please recommend a chain guide and bashguard that will fit without rubbing on the frame? Thanks

[@Tequila628]

Show the 2022 Tracer please.

[@haidiandalwang8685]

1. Fair to say both can do the same and trail is more versatile than xc?
2. Some reviews say the size run big. I’m 5’6”, would I be better off with size S or M?
Appreciate any feedback.

Is there a lock function to stop the suspension (for example when on road) in the trail bike?

[@Dempsey222]

Can you put a coil rear shock on the Trail? If so would a 210 x 55 mm work on the 951?

[@vijayanchomatil8413]

So the 951 XC isn't good for black diamond trails?

[@bayarearob]

I climb big hills and take long rides, but all Costco has is the trail version.

[@IntenseCycles1993]

The 951 XC is also available on our website at intense951.com and at authorized INTENSE dealers.

@@IntenseCycles1993 lol, I hear ya. I need that Costco discount.

[@shwndh]

So if you're a XC rider and you weigh over 200lbs, would the 951 XC or Trail be the better bike for you?

[@IntenseCycles1993]

That is actually going to come down to what you want out of the bike. Either bike can support a 200lb rider not a problem, however, if you're looking to ride more chunky trails downhill or go faster downhill, than the 951 Trail will be better suited for you. It has more suspension and little larger brakes. If you're looking to ride farther or go faster uphills and cruise on the downhills then the 951 XC is going to accomplish that better.

[@schnawgalawg]

I race xc with my 951 trail lol.

[@JwallzMTB]

i still race with a 26" wheel bike form the 90's lol. i cant pass up 19lbs

[@middnight3474]

My favorite color is ham

[@IntenseCycles1993]

Honey, bone-in, uncured, cured? So many options.
