I finally brought home my new baby last night - a medium grey 5.5! A very, very special "thank you" goes out to the Intense crew (Nick and Jeff) for all your help and assiatance!

Can´t wait to see a first review, how it rides... ;)

Please measure the maximum rear tire width for us.

I haven't measured the rear tire clearance yet, but here's a pic of the rear with Intense System 4's, which are a 2.25".

Cool! That rear tire clearance is nowhere near as bad as many people made it out to be. Sure its not the best around but System 4's are bigger than many other 2.3 and 2.4 tires and there seems to be a pretty reasonable gap remaining still.
