RIDE REVIEW I INTENSE TAZER MX PRO
P124
DHRII Maxx Terra 3C EXO+ tires
on both, 2.6-inch up front and
2.8-inch out back.
Speaking of brakes, the Tazer
MX comes with stout 203mm
Magura rotors front and rear and
MT7 Pro components. I've never
been as keen on Magura MTB
brakes as the Shimano offerings,
but the MT7s are high spec and
held up well during our test with
only a little howl and squish out
of them after longer descents
and some early-late-on-off-on-off
amateur braking maneuvers.
More components are added
to keep this bike on-brand for the
all-terrain enduro crowd including
Intense's own Recon Dropper
seat post, an E-Spec e*thirteen
crank and 34-tooth front
chainring, and Shimano's SLX
11-Speed shifting bits out back.
At $7999 MSRP as tested
for a 2021 Tazer MX Pro model
($8999 MSRP for the 2022), the
bike falls in line with appropri-
ate pricing for the performance
and specs. This isn't a budget
bike. But it's also not cresting
the $10K mark into elite pric-
ing status, either. There's also
a less-expensive, less-rowdy
version on offer. The Tazer MX
Expert ($5999/$6999 de-
pending on year) comes with
DVO front and rear suspen-
sion in 160mm/170mm ranges,
a Shimano E7000 motor (60
Nm), TRP brakes and one step
down-spec'd Shimano 12-speed
It's all about the up!
Fear no grind with
the potent power of
the Tazer MX Pro.
