The Eddie is a carbon fiber 29″ wheeled hardtail offering from Intense. With consumers looking to go carbon, Intense has been responding to their desires. While still designed in the USA, these frames aren’t made state-side like their aluminum range. MSRP is slated to be around $1800 for the frame.

Tapered head tube looks quite clean on the Eddie and the routing is internal for a refined look. The headset bearings sit in the frame for a clean low-profile look.
