New Intense Carbine 29 to be released this week. 65.5 HA and fairly mega 26.6in Eff TT in XL makes it appear pretty long and stretched out for a Trail bike.

Not that long, really - just has a good seat angle on it, but reach is same as a Transition Smuggler

Agreed it's not mega-long, but the large looks like being pretty close to my ideal trail bike geometry.

Can't afford one of course, but it's nice to know it exists.

Kona were doing a demo at my local Go Outdoors, the rep told me to wait 3 weeks rather than buy a 111 or a 153....

Oh well.

And are they having a laugh making the "Factory" model look so disgusting?[img] [/img]

Wow, £9k.

If the price doesn't give you an aneurysm, the colour scheme will.
