So Trummer was riding an Intense at DYFI because?
...the chicken crossed the road?
There will not be an intense factory team.
Just read on Forbes website that Orange Mountain Bikes is about to appoint an administrator. This explains the end of the Orange Factory Team then.
Guess it's just a coincidence then... an MS rider... on an Intense... this week.
We will see soon enough.
Just to make it extra clear... The smile, braces, hair...
Jack Reading latest YouTube vid showed a Raaw very clearly. Wasn't trying to hide it.
Well, I don't have any of the real goods on this one. It's just no one can point to any evidence of the initial evidence of Ms intense.
I know intense factory was finished last season, and we all are seeing the end of Ms mondraker.
Yet, where did "Ms intense" originate?
Actually, Jeff Steber said himself that they want to run things on their own and focus on North American riders.

Ho yep, didn't see the braces! I thought have read a thing about Trummer so the hair
1. Exactly in the teasing that MS has put on Instagram, with this throwback Markus Stöckl post:

They could've posted something from the Lehikoinen/Caluori/Kovarik era a.k.a. 2007, but they went very far back to make ties to the M1. That is saying something.
2. Dak is on record suggesting ”few things” will change for him next season, hinting that he will be on the same bike. We know Intense probably doesn't want to spend big and focus on young talent, so what does that leave us with?
Good enough for you?

Maybe Gwin won’t do the full season… not sure on the PerformX Schedule… but…
I hope I'm wrong but I wonder if Gwin's broken arm / elbow had complications getting back healthy so he is skipping or racing less this year?
Zero basis for this other than the lack of riding updates over the off season from him. He has enough going on that he could take the year off, do a some commentating, and evaluate as the season progresses.
You will see him race this year.
Don't forget there's a gap of nearly 2 months between races in the middle of the summer.
Some interesting bikes to see in the latest BK edit, I don't know who's on but, a Fury/SR suntour/O'Neal, and tow Intense, I'm sure one on fox, the second (supposed) with ohlins forks...
Not seen the video, but probably Roger Viera on the fury
Yeah the photos from Dyfi pretty much confirm that Dunne is on Mondraker and that Trummer is on Intense, which, given that all of the components and kit are the exact same as his old Summum, heavily implies that MS Intense is a thing. Whether it will be called 'MS Intense' or not remains to be seen, but the team that was MS Mondraker definitely seem to now be on Intense at least.
Also on a side note that scrub from Ronan is ridiculously steezy!
Breeden on the M1 with Ohlins. Trummer on the M1 with Fox.
Dunne on what sure looks like the proto Mondraker with adjustable seatstay bridge.
MS team has existed in a number of different forms with different frame sponsors.
Intense have been teasing it tagging Markus Stoeckl in their historic posts and the MS Mondraker ig posted a picture of Marcus riding an M1 from when he rode for intense. It's happening dude.
Just putting it out there that I saw Danny Hart at my local coffee shop in Queenstown this morning. maybe someone will spy him on a new bike up skyline soon??
Guys… GUYS! This is a BIG ONE:
The most irrelevant man in modern mtb 🥱
HI PHIL !
That is flat out dissregarding what and who probably (amongst a very few others) paved the way to what you froth arround today. Go play some minecraft now..
Yessir, no disrespect here. Just no shock he’s back on GT for the near future. The surprise is that he doesn’t have some sort of grandfathered lifetime contract.
Can you say Gary Fisher … I know the trek history is not the same as Hans and GT… but companies often just see the bottom line.
Fuck off Barry
Amen
