OK...now i kno that they are pretty much if not identical...but if you were like squid, and a complete brandwhore :wink:, which one would you take?

Awesome, I've ridden both (like many people here, despite the fact that the Intense hasn't even entered production) and am as such, able to give you a valid opinion on it.

Intense V8


very similar... (apart from VPP of course)

[josh_lives_here]

get the santa cruz

[naz]

are u gettin one nick?
intense, being a brandwhore, i rekon they will perform exactly the same but intense how could u turn that down

[shauno]

they both look sick as far as i know..

[Daver]

they should ride the same, but i'd get te 'cruz coz i'm a brand whore

[kalem]

i'd take a V8 cos' i could sell it for more and get a real bike.

[Dee-Lux04]

V8!!!! intense are the shit!!

[Turley]

both would work very similar, I jsut reckon teh instense looks better... very nicolai like...

all of these designs i recon would make awesome light DH race rig's it just depend on wether it can take the abuse. To me because of the fact they are marketing them as 8" travel trail bikes with 2 or 3 chainrings makes me thing they will not be as strong as say the M1/M3 or V10.
