Intense has announced a new limited edition bike – the Recluse DVO. Inspired by their collaboration with DVO on the Tracer DVO in 2015, it brings the performance of DVO products to Intense’s shorter travel (150mm front / 140mm rear) 27.5 trail bike. Each bike is numbered 1 through 100, and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

We understand that a handful of that limited edition of 100 will be making their way to the UK, and RRP will be £7200.
Grotesque.
Yup, gopping
Don’t bother updating with the RRP I suspect only 0.1% of the readership would be able to afford it
A great idea for proptions, good advertising, be interested to see what a full race spec price is assuming it’s similar to the Palmer editions of the M’s a couple of years bacl
