I don't really know what's going on with Intense right now. For about 2 years there is almost no M29 available and it doesn't seem to change. In addition, the whole concept is thrown over and a 279 is developed which will apparently never be available. ... more »

Who says that the M29 does not work? Or the M279 proto? As far as I understand correctly, the tires are the big bad. The M29 and also the M279 Proto have already proven their competitiveness. I do not understand why it is claimed here everywhere that ... more »

One US rider is enough. An Aussi rider would make sense in terms of marketing and sales.

Luca Shaw to ride the new Canfield Jedi 29.

I would say these oranges are just squeezed.

I like the chainstay lenght (Know it from my Demo). Makes it playful, but still stable in combination with the reach. The reach is perfect. Who should ride a L or XL when even the Medium is that long? Also leaves room for a S or XXL. Would like to have ... more »

Not as easy as you may think. A lot of things are pushed through under the guise of Corona that would otherwise have been impossible.

You´re all right, but I´m talking about a price increase of >20%. That is far above all market effects and I know what I´m talking about.

Charlie Harrison to replace Luca Shaw

Yeah, same here. I'm just saying that this is taking the piss out of the customer...raw material prices because corona or not.

Reply to MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation 11/26/2021 12:47 AM

I'm aware of that but never...really never by 2,000€! This is ridiculous and rips off the customer. It was the same with the Intense M29. 2019 Frame: 2.500€ 2020 Frame: 3.500€ (After signing with Gwin) 2021 Frame: 3.000€ (Maybe they have noticed it themselves) ... more »

The prices increase a lot! +2.000k€ compared to the Demo Race 29 from 2020 for basically the same spec. bike.

Looks like Zinc is not the easiest rider in connection with business. The whole story makes him unsympathetic in that respect (also for sponsors). It's funny that he still doesn't have a new sponsor.
