Intense releases new Tazer Alloy electric bike with updated geometry and mullet wheelset

The new Intense Tazer Alloy is an electric enduro bike with aggressive geometry, a mullet wheel setup and 155mm of rear-suspension travel.

The new electric mountain bike is available in two incarnations. The Pro model uses Shimano’s EP800 electric bike motor with a 630Wh battery, while the Expert bike gets the EP600 connected to a 504Wh battery.

The Intense Tazer Alloy Pro is priced at £5,499/$7,499/€5,999 and the Tazer Alloy Expert is £4,499/$6,499/€4,999.

Intense says the Tazer Alloy Pro will be available in early August, with the Expert model following in September

Sticking with aluminium roots

The new bike is Intense’s first aluminium bike in six years. The American brand says it harks back to its roots, with the hydroformed 6061 T6 alloy frameset bringing the durability and aesthetics of its original bikes to the Tazer Alloy.

The new frame is now Universal Derailleur Hanger compatible, enabling SRAM’s new Transmission groupsets to be installed.

The Tazer employs the brand's signature JS Tuned suspension system, which uses two short, counter-rotating links. Intense says this setup offers the ability to fine-tune shock rates and wheel path.

Intense Tazer Review – How good is the US brand’s first eMTB?

Despite being a small company, US brand Intense is a big player in the mountain bike scene and has its roots in downhill racing. With the release of the Tazer, Intense presented its first eMTB, and not wanting to do things by half measures gave it full carbon frame and an integrated Shimano motor. To find out if it’s able to mix with the cream of the crop, we took the new bike out for a ride. Intense Tazer | 160/155 mm (f/r) | 21.40 kg | € 7,499

The history of the Intense is closely linked to its founder, Jeff Steber, who remains actively involved in the development of new bikes and likes welding together prototypes in his garage. The name of the new bike has a bit of history too. Intense fans might remember the original Tazer from back in the day — a dual slalom MTB. With the new Tazer, Intense joins the ranks of other boutique MTB brands and enters the eMTB marketplace with a high-end offering. We were very excited to be able to ride this new machine ahead of the official announcement.

Maybe its just a product of our rapidly advancing years, but Intense Cycles pulls at our heart strings. We would’ve joyfully given a kidney to ride an Intense back in the day. This is a brand with such heritage, presence, such cool – it oozes out, and that’s why aficionados have always been willing to fork over the big bucks for an Intense. You’re not just buying a bike, you’re getting a small slice of Intense cred. The all-new Intense Sniper is the latest bike to join their range.

You’re not just buying a bike, you’re getting a small slice of Intense cred.

Over the past decade the brand has had ups and downs as they’ve moved some operations away from the US and navigated the world of Asian manufacturing, but the legions of Intense fans have stayed true. The brand is back at its best now, and with a new Rider Direct sales model (more on that later) the pricing puts Intense within the reach of many more riders. The Intense Sniper XC is the first dedicated cross-country bike from Intense in…
