Tarragona trails are often a mix of high-speed chatter and sudden, jagged rock gardens. The Intense JS (Jump Spot) suspension system is legendary for its ability to separate pedaling efficiency from bump absorption. When you are climbing out of the saddle to reach a remote trailhead in the Muntanyes de Tivissa , the bike stays firm. When you drop in, the rear wheel tracks the ground with a coil-like feel that is essential for maintaining traction on Tarragona’s infamous "gres" (local sandstone) and loose shale.
Tarragona is not a place for fragile bikes. The rocks are sharp, the gradients are steep, and the fun is intense (pun intended). The brand’s mantra is "Obsessed with Cycling," and you need that level of obsession to tackle the challenging beauty of the Tarragona backcountry.
Intense Cycles are designed with a racing pedigree, making them ideal for the rugged trails found around the or the coastal tracks of the Costa Daurada .
