Come on, if you guys are going to make snarky comments at least make them good.
"Omg, this should be electric."
"OMG, I could buy a 1990 motorcycle for this!"
"This is way too expensive for a bike"
"I don't understand people that throw money away like this"
"What's the point of this?!"
"It better ride itself for me at this price."
It's still a very capable bike, just up to you if you want 120mm of travel compared to something with 150mm.

This bike in no way can be compared for something you would buy at Walmart for $200. It is for serious riders.

So I have gone through this myself from "why do I need a bike that cost more than $200" to "I am glad that I got this $3500 bike"
"Why do I need a bike that cost more than $200"
When I started mountain biking about 10 years ago, I bought a typical $169 Walmart bike with disk brake thinking brake is probably the only thing that will get beaten up and I will ride this bike until it fall apart. Well, after 4,5 rides on a entry level trail (green XC trail), the rim bent, the handle bar got loose, the chain drops almost every time I go through rocky section.
"This $1000 bike should last me life time"
After destroying the last bike, I bite the bullet and got a $1000 bike XC bike with air fork. Fast forward 9 years later, I have ridden it like 200+ times. Not a single thing on the bike has broken. However, as I am riding more and more recently, I found myself hitting the some kind of ceiling that I can't ride faster even keep repeating the same trail.
"I am glad that I got this $3500 bike"
On the first trail ride on the Intense trail bike, I can lean the bike much more and quicker to fly through tight and rooty corners, I can climb much easier and go through technical section that I always have trouble. I was 20% quicker in term of time on my first ride that I was still getting used to the bike. Don't ask me how and why there is such big improvement. I can't explain to myself either by just look at the spec.
To be honest, if it wasn't Costco and knowing that I can easily return it, I probably will have never gotten this bike because I wasn't expecting any big improvement until my skill level get to more advance trail and riding. But nope, first ride on XC trail on this bike already blew my mind. Threw away the box for returning right after I got home from the first ride.
