EXPLORE NEW TERRITORY, EXPERIENCE NEW ADVENTURES.

Our Tazer opens up a whole new world and style of riding, one where the ups are almost as much fun as the downs. What once might have been a boring slog or just a ‘means to an end’ can now be either a super technical challenge, or just a quick spin to get you to the top and all the fun bits again. Our Expert build features the classic Shimano STEPS E7000 giving you seamless pedal-to-power transition, especially when teamed up with the rear 27.5+ tire and its larger contact area.

QUICK TO RESPOND.

The beauty of the Tazer is that all of the weight is carried low down in the middle of the bike, what this means is that the center of gravity is lower making the bike turn and grip amazingly. The position of the weight also gives the bike a solid and planted feel, it is stable and precise, and carries speed like nothing on earth. Add to that geometry that puts you in a natural position and you get perfect weight distribution to the front and rear wheels.

ENJOY THE ASCENTS, CRUSH THE DESCENTS.

You will eat up laps at your local trail loops, maximizing your time on your bike. You can do three or four times the amount of riding you would normally do on a non-eBike, maximizing your skills on the descents. The beauty of the Tazer is that you can go as hard or as easy as you like. Whether it’s exploring new trails or getting in some quick laps, the Tazer will take your farther and faster.

THE JS TUNED ENDURO LINK.

We talk a lot about JS Tuned here at INTENSE. JS stands for Jeff Steber (our founder and CEO) and simply put it is a system that focuses on all of the individual parts that make up one of our bikes: from suspension, geometry, wheel size, materials and component spec. The key element of JS Tuned is our suspension system that uses two counter-rotating links to connect the front and rear triangles of the bike. The links are specifically placed to allow for separation between the pedaling and braking forces from the suspension performance. Every model in our range has its own personal and specific JS tune.

The best titanium hardtail trail bike just got better. 

Get an Inside Look

The Litespeed Pinhoti has a history that appropriately matches our area’s rich mountain biking heritage. It all starts with the Pinhoti Trail, our centerpiece backyard trail just a few miles from our Chattanooga, Tenn. headquarters. The Pinhoti Trail extends between Snake Creek Gap and Dug Gap within the Chattahoochee Forest into north Georgia. Celebrated annually with the famed Snake Creek Gap Time Trial mountain bike series—a point-to-point race over 17 miles of technical ridgeline singletrack, Pinhoti Trail riders are challenged with roots, rock gardens, off-camber banking and tacky forest dirt. Dotted along its wending path by markers featuring the area’s wild turkey footprints, the Pinhoti Trail is quite simply the best of mountain biking—some say one of the most challenging—and fun—mountain biking in the country.

It was not a whimsical undertaking when we named the Pinhoti; the bike has truly represented the pinnacle of pure trail excellence, capable of scrambling ascents with boundless energy, with unsurpassed surgical precision on technical descents. It was the best in titanium trail riding.

Now, the best has gotten better. We’ve updated the geometry, delivering confidence that allows you to go with open, reckless abandon. Tubeset shaping that enhances comfort for the long ride. As trail riding has evolved, our engineers got more creative, and did a complete makeover, modernizing our signature trail model….and as ever, delivered it in painstakingly handcrafted titanium. Introducing the Pinhoti III; more confidence, more agility, more comfort, more fun.

The Pinhoti III remains a highly versatile machine offered in a speed-hungry 29” and a 27.5+ build that accommodates for the added footprint while delivering the confident traction and technical handling advantage found in 27.5+ tires.

On its face, the Pinhoti III gains a whole new range of tube shaping. From curves of the downtube and seattube, to the subtle shaping along the stays, all tubesets have been updated in the interest of performance gains, namely greater vibration damping capacity. The Pinhoti III’s compliance will help keep you at your freshest, on even your longest days of ardent trail smashing.

We’ve made the new Pinhoti a trail bike capable of expanding your ability to attack the mountain. With a slacker head angle, a slightly elongated front center and a head tube that is the stiffest it’s ever been, the Pinhoti III gets even more deft and predictable in tight quarters. We’ve also shortened the chainstays, adding to the Pinhoti III’s nimble, agile handling. So hack switchbacks with confidence. Carve a tight path through the trees. Carry speed across the ridgeline. Scramble up the steepest pitch. The Pinhoti III will go confidently where you point it—without penalty.

To accommodate for a wide range of tire and chainring clearance, the Pinhoti III employs an asymmetric dropped chainstay receiving a striking new CNC-machined titanium chainstay yoke.

And it gets tons of special touches, including an updated dropper post cable integration port.

The Pinhoti III will be offered in standard decal, a bright brushed etched finish, and a new two-tone polish.

All told, the design changes result in a frame weighing just 1,649 grams (size medium)—a savings of 95 grams over our previous version of the Pinhoti.

Whether you’re looking at marathon race day or a day of carving the trail with friends, or anything in between, the new Pinhoti III will take your ride day experience to the next level. Playing on the trails have never been so fun.
