    I had the chance to try out an Intense Carbine 650B the other day. This was my first time on the bike and on a 650B, it rolled better than a 26 and handled way better than a 29. It cornered really well unlike 29ers and I felt like it rolled a little faster than a 26. I still love 26 but I am definitely thinking more and more about the 650. Here's a video of my ride down mentally sensitive. Im still getting use to clips so I had a few bobbles as you can obviously see in the video. If you like the video I hope to be posting more soon since I just got a new GoPro so feel free to subscribe! :bang:

    This seems to be a common experience. I'm glad 650b is finally getting support and a larger equipment selection.

    Video angle seemed a bit too low. If i see your toes and you're not going OTBs, its probably pointed down too far. Just my opinion though.

    I keep tilting my head up as if it will help me see further down the trail. It's not working.... Joke :)
    Been wanting to try a 27" Thanks for posting.:)
