What kind of riding do you want to do with it? I have three 'dream' bikes,
a Intense Tracer, a Santa Cruz Bullit and a Intense M1. All for very
different types of riding.

"Chug" is better.

Who said people like those names. Just because we like a bike that somebody
makes doesn't mean we like the name of the company.

The Intense Tracer is a 4.5" travel full suspension XC trail bike. 26lbs.
100mm Marzocchi Marathon fork. Steeper head/seat angle. All around XC
riding and racing.

http://www.intensecycles.com

The Santa Cruz Bullit is a 7" travel full suspension "freeride" or light DH
bike. 38lbs. 175mm Marzocchi Super T fork. Slacker head/seat angle. Dual
chainrings up front make it able to go uphill..slow. Going downhill is a
blast on this bike. Fun to jump and do drops with too. A bit too light to
race at an expert level course.

http://www.santacruzbikes.com/frames/bullit/bullit.html

The Intense M1 is a pro level downhill racing bike with 8" (Mine is an '01,
newer are 9" now) travel. 48lbs. 190mm Marzocchi Shiver fork. Chopper like
front end, very slack seat angle. Large single chainring only on front.
Made to go downhill...fast. Needs a chairlift or shuttle to get back to the
top.

It really depends on how you want to ride as to what bike to choose. What
kind of riding do you like?

Mike
