Teacher?s notes: The intense Tracer is MBA?s top choice if we could only have one bike. It?s handling, ascending and suspension performance make up the best package in the world of trailbikes. You?ll appreciate the lock-out feature of the Fox shock and Mars fork on hard, smooth climbs. Ball bearing pivots and sturdy construction make the Intense a long-lasting investment.
