The Intense Spider 2 is a new thoroughbred from Intense modeled in the esteemed Spider bloodline. Unlike previous fixed travel iterations, the Spider 2 offers a choice between 4.5" or 5" of travel achieved by simply moving the pivot to the alternate location on the upper swing link. It allows you to mate any fork between 120mm and 140mm of travel. At just 5.75 pounds, it tackles everything from xc to marathon to trail. All the things we love about VPP are alive and well -- the incredible traction, giddy-up climbing, and unparalleled stability in corners. But the Spider 2 does so using the 2nd generation VPP link.
