I am going to get an Intense M1 and since it weights over 40lbs, I don't think its a good idea to put it on the roof rack. Does anyone of you own a DH mountain bike and how you guys carry it on your S4? If possible, can you please post some photos? Thanks a lot!!

I've got a 46 pound Santa Cruz that goes right on my rack. Real bitch to get it up there, but..
once it is, its fine. Alot of wind noise. Be careful bro, DH bikes car REALLY f#ck you up. Make sure you have a full set of motorcross pads.

Not a DH MTB, but I carry my MTB on my Avant and my A4 sedan....
...without any problems at all, I use a Yakima rack system and have no complaints with it. I've had two bikes on the rack on long trips without issue.

Intense? That's what I have....
Well, except I have a Tracer. Very nice bike you're getting. I use a thule and it works fine. I wouldn't hesitate to get a yakima either. One thing I do to avoid marring up the roof caused by the footpads and fairing is to put a patch of static-cling window tint under each contact point. The tint seals out dust, dirt, and water, so your paint stays protected.

Nice Bike!
When I was looking for a complete set-up I considered the Truth. I couldn't pull the weight (cash) though.....I bought an Intense Tracer that I am extremely happy with.
Happy Riding!
