    Haha That's so cool. I've been wondering and saying things about such a bike since I first started riding 5 years ago.

    i think jeff has outdone himself. no more M6, but he's making a 2951? #-o

    I'd try it though. too bad it's a medium

    So did someone realize that with the wheelbase fully extended on a 951 that a 29er wheel fit or was that custom made?

    Edit... nm i clicked the link.

    intense stopped making the M6?!?! silly.

    looks like they just changed the drops and the fork travel. nothing revolutionary. this bike would rock on a wide open course.

    First off it needs custom "2951" stickers.
    Second, I haven't thought about buying anything but a Turner for a long time...until now.

    From what I have heard there is a new M6 version coming out.
    It sounds like its a whole new frame or at least a whole new rear triangle based on Jeff's comments.:?:

    Curious to see how the wheels would hold up in a place like Mt. Snow, Vermont. They'd probably look octogons after a ferw runs....

    It's a fun bike. If you like big wheels, this is what it should be.
    I've been on this project for a few months and granted it doesn't like the slow stuff but wide open, rocky, ledges etc it absolutely swallows the trail up:bang:

    I like that we can crank a bike out and give it a run... will it go into production, who knows but it will be used at fontucky this winter, I promise;)

    Don't worry the Ride monkey rocket scientist imputed all the data into the smhl4000 super computer that calculates how a bike is gonna ride and the reports came back negative. Leave it to intense to make a bike thats gonna ride like chiat:rolleyes:
