The Intense Sniper Expert is an awesome example of a cross-country bike done right. Built with a carbon frame and 100 mm of travel in both front and rear, this short-travel XC bike loves to be pedaled, and does not shy away from any climb whatsoever. The most amazing thing is that it’s just so darn capable on the downhills as well, and that’s really what makes a great modern XC bike. The capabilities of this thing are off the charts, with fast and smooth-rolling 29” wheels and tires. Small bumps and obstacles are rendered obsolete by this dirt-eating monster, and you’ll be able to maintain that speed and efficiency when you get to the bottom of a huge uphill. Light, maneuverable, snappy, and agile, this Sniper is a perfect blend of modern uphill efficiency combined with strong and capable downhill acumen.
