Once all the protec tors have been removed from the bike, we can beg in

the process of mou nting the components onto the frame.

Handlebar Installation

1. Spin the stem around so that the faceplate is facing forward.

2. Using a 4 mm allen key, remove the faceplate from the stem.

3. Making sure that all the cables are oriented properly, place

the handlebar into the stem and reinstall the facep late.

With the handlebar centered, torque the faceplate bolts to

6 Nm / 54 in-lbs. NOTE: Take your time when installing the

faceplate bolts to prevent any type of cross threading.

p r o t i p

When installing th e faceplate, always tight en the stem bolts in a cro ss

pattern (top left – bo ttom right, bottom left – Top right).

Mounting the Derailleur

1. Using a knife or scissors, carefully remove the bubble wrap

and z ipties fro m the rear d erailleur, ch ain, and B-s crew.

2. With a 5mm allen key, mount the rear derailleur onto the

derailleur han ger being care ful to avoid cross threading .

cap is not accident ally removed with the guard.

4. Pull the derailleur back an d slide the rear wheel

into the rear triangl e of the bike, setting the chain

on the smallest gear of t he cassette.

5. From the non-drive sid e, slide the axle through the dropo ut and

wheel assembly, threading i t by hand in a clockwise directio n.

6. Using a 5mm allen key from the dr ive side, tighten the axle in

a counter clock wise direction. Torque to 11 Nm / 100 in-lbs.

7. From t he non-drive side, tighten the c one spacer with

a 5mm allen key. Torque to 14 Nm / 125 in-lbs.

Installing the front wheel

1. Grab the front w heel and carefully remove the disc guard.

brake. Be sure to keep the pad spac er in a safe spot for future use.

3. With the rotor side of the wh eel on the non-drive side

of the bike, line the brake cali per up with the disc rotor

carefuly sliding th e front wheel between the fork le gs.

4. Slide the axle through t he fork dropout and wheel assemb ly

and tighten by turning in a c lockwise direction. NOT E: To

prevent accidental opening of the quick release lever while

riding, always lock t he lever in an upward direction (paralle l

to the fork leg) or horizo ntally towards the rear of the bike.

Quick Component Check

All INTENSE bicyc les are delivered " Ride Ready", meaning you c an

expect the bikes to com e with the brakes and dr ivetrain all proper ly

adjusted. However, to ensure that nothing happened during shipping,

we recommend that you c heck that all the c omponents are oper ating

correctly bef ore heading out to the trail.

1. One wheel at a time, sp in the wheels to make sure there

is no rotor rub from th e brake pads. Give the brakes a

squeeze to make sure every thing feels alright.

2. Check that the derailleu r is adjusted properly by

running up and down th e gears making sure that

everything is functioning nice and smoothly.

setting preload on the h eadset and tightening the stem

1. Remove the bike from the st and and place it onto the ground.

2. Check that front wheel is i nline with the stem.

PRO TIP: You can line up the back of the ha ndlebar with

the front of the fork c rown to help with alignment.

3. Set the preload on the heads et by tightening

the bolt in the center c ap.

4. Tighten stem bolts with 5m m allen key

and torque to 8 Nm / 70 in-l bs.

connecting the system //

Now that your bike is built, we n eed to plug the electric wire that c an be

found coming out of th e down tube (drive side) into the back of the cycling

computer as shown be low.

seat po st

When insertin g the seat post, apply a li beral coat carb on paste and

gently slide it into the se at tube. With a minimum se at post insertio n of

4" (100mm), tighten seat post clamp to 5 Nm / 4 5 in-lbs. NOTE: Over

tightening the seat po st clamp will inhibit the movement of the sea t post

and potentially damag e seat post and/or seat tube.

connecting the electric wire

Use the Shimano original tool (TL-EW02) for installation and removal of

the electric wi re. Set so that the projec tion on the conne ctor is aligned

with the groove on the nar row end of the tool.

When installing th e electric wire, do n ot forcibly bend the c onnector. It

may result in a poor cont act. When connecting the elec tric wire, push it

in until it clicks in plac e.

the Fox manual included w ith your bike for complete i nformation abou t

set up, tuning and general maintenance or visit www.foxracingshox.com

setting the sag //

1. Remove fork and shoc k air caps and be sure you have a

shock pump and a small r uler or measuring device handy.

2. Go ahead and hop on the bike. Be sur e to place

all your weight on the seat w ith the dropper in the

up position and both h ands on the grips.

3. Give the bike 5-6 mo derate bounces and

sit back down on the sad dle.

4. Now have your friend slide bot h the rear shock and the front fork

o-rings dow n against the seal lip of the damper bodys (I mage #1).

5. Step off the bike nice and easy. Be sure to n ot compress

the suspension af ter the o-rings have been set.

P r o T i p

Here is where having a fr iend helps. Have them st raddle the front

wheel and pull the hand le bars in a upward direction as to not allow th e

suspension to comp ress as you get off (Image #4).

6. Using your measuring devic e, measure the gap between

the suspension seal l ip and the o-ring. Using the ch art

on the following pag e will tell you if you need more air

pressure or less air p ressure (Images #2, #3).

7. Adju st air pressure with your shock pump ac cordingly (Image #5).

8. Re-visit steps 2-6 unt il your desired sag

measurement have been reached.

9. Install valve caps.

• U se a soft cloth with warm soapy water to c lean the carbon surface s.

Do not use high pressur e washers, abrasive cloths or clea ners.

• B e sure all frame surfaces in co ntact with cables are protecte d.

Cable housing rubb ing on carbon can wear over time.

• B e sure brake levers, handle bar ends and the fo rk crown do not

contact the fram e at full rotation.

• N ever clamp any part of a carbon fram e in a bike stand or car rack.

• A lways inspect your frame if you experi ence any chain suck.

• A lways inspect your frame in full af ter a crash to be sure there is

no damage. Look for cra cks, dents or loose bers. If you disc over

damage in any degree it ’s best to have your frame inspected by a

qualied Intense Cyc les dealer. Any direct impact to the frame c an

cause serious structural damage.

• U se high grade waterproof grease on se at post, BB and head set

bearing contac t areas with the carbon.

• N ever ream or face a carbon frame.

• B e sure to follow all recommended tor que settings.

• Use only genuine replacement par ts for safety-critical components.
