Brakes are TRP Slate T4 4-piston brakes. Never used them, but reviews are positive--take shimano 4-pot pads, perform well, preferable to the SRAMs that would probably be specced on an NX bike. Retail for $120 each (without rotors).
One other downside I just noticed is that it uses the SRAM PG-1230 cassette, which means it is coming with a hyperglide freehub and not a newer XD driver. If you want to upgrade wheels, you'll have to buy a new cassette if you don't want to buy outdated wheels. That said, a new cassette is also an easy way to shave weight and a cassette will eventually wear out anyways.
I do still think however that what makes this a screaming deal is availability. But still, look at something like a Stumpjumper Evo Comp Alloy--$3800 for an aluminum frame, full NX, and a Rhythm 36 fork. Even if you could find one in stock somewhere, you're paying 550 more for better tires and a pinch more travel but an alloy frame (same Hyperglide cassette even).
And unlike an overseas D2C brand, you've got Costco's return policy and a 5-year frame warranty from Intense (which is located in California).
I'd reckon about one mile [caloriesburnedhq.com] per nugget [fatsecret.com]
Also, I'm trying to get exercise. No hate on e-bikes in general, but I have zero interest in a motor when it comes to recreational mountain biking.
Seems like a good price for the parts, but pretty outdated geometry (68 degree headtube angle!) like most Bikes Direct bikes. I highly doubt anyone in the market for the Intense 951s would even consider it.

I'd love a Delano Peak or a Ripmo AF, but my 951 Trail is supposed to get here Thursday and I can still ride it before the snow comes...those other bikes I'd be lucky to have by the time the snow melts in the spring.
For $3200 it better be able fly like the ET bike.

I bought this back in June. Some SDers suggested looking at the assembly video on their website. I would not recommend this. It is different than the manual that comes with the bike. I tried to reference both and that was a big mistake. The assembly manual is the best option.
Also, most recommend down-sizing if you are between sizes. Not specifically with this bike, but bikes in general. That is what I have heard by people who seem like authorities on the subject.

Its not e-bike.
