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.

Intense M16 C

YOU DIDN’T KNOW THIS BUT…

Here is a little tidbit from the time we where developing and working on the M16. I had several alloy test mules going back and forth with the World Cup team and making changes. In the weld shop I came in one morning and saw these signs posted “Warning Protected by M16.” RTW  (Rick the Welder ) who is quite into guns had been waiting for years through all the M series numbers till we reached the M16.

(The M16 rifle, officially designated Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16, is a United States military adaptation of the ArmaLite AR-15 rifle since introduced in 1963 Vietnam war era)

So I figure I had to really see what this bad ass rifle is all about that wears the same name. At Interbike in Las Vegas this year I went to one of the local ranges and shot about 600 rounds full auto M16.

We have gone 4 almost 5 years since M9 so basically skipped forward a bit and personally I was looking forward to M16 I have been able to spend 90% of my time now in R&D and we have some really exciting new bikes coming…
