These bikes are Intense Primer frames with a lower-end build kit (SRAM NX, TRP brakes, Fox Rhythm fork, lower spec wheels/tires). Intense sells the Primer frameset for $2,999, so you're basically getting the rest of the build kit for $250. The SRAM NX Intense Primer build costs $4300 (but features a much nicer fork, better wheels/tires, Shimano brakes).
Yes, for most people $3.5k is a lot of money for a bike, but for a serious mountain biker who wants a carbon fiber mid-travel bike, this is a very good deal. It is also available NOW. Something like a Fezzari Delano Peak might be a better deal at $3600 (mostly SLX parts, DVO shocks are probably better than base-spec fox rhythm), but the current delivery time is 35-40 WEEKS.
edit: If you are buying this, it might be worth upgrading to costco executive membership. The 2% rebate pays for itself on this purchase alone.

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 If you want to upgrade wheels, you'll have to buy a new cassette if you don't want to buy outdated wheels.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Seems like a good price for the parts, but pretty outdated geometry (68 degree headtube angle!)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.

I ordered a Trek in February and it is just now coming in on Nov 18th. I mistakingly sold two of my three MTB's back in May so I have had a small quiver since then.
Its not e-bike.

Last week at SkyPark in SoCal I noticed they stock this exact bike for their rental. That should be a testament to the confidence people are putting in the bike.
