As an ex knolly warden owner always felt the seat tube was too slack. And this is a lame patent infringement.

The patent refers to the uninterrupted seat tube that is placed at a 55-65 degree angle. Not sure they can even get this to court. This patent is a joke and the fact that they asked for a jury trial is laughable. Something doesn't add up.

Slow day in the Knolly office ? Makes a mockery of the patent system, patenting any old tripe.

This seems kind of weak to me. Granted the patent was submitted in 2014, it wasn't granted until 2019 and two of the bikes mentioned would have been well into development at the time with the current tracer and carbine being released in 2016/2017 respectively, so likely would have been playing with it as early as 2013/14 with prototype's. Also, as mentioned in the article: "The patent claims to describe a system with at least four inches of travel with optimal traction, rear brake interaction, and pedaling efficiency while also allowing the seatpost to be inserted at least four inches...

Here you go. It’s a pretty early model 55 as it has a rear triangle and not the 1 piece swing arm (2005-7??). Looks like the seat post is straight and attached to the down tube in front of the bottom bracket.

Always liked knolly bikes but this is ridiculous. Maybe enough pressure from consumers would change their course or maybe they’d rather sit in courtrooms then make bikes

trying to think of bikes that pre-date the patent with this configuration. zumbi f44 is one of the first that comes to mind.

yea, my guess here is that intense will likely challenge the validity of the patent.

I don't know about this test. Clocks and time don't lie. And that's how all Downhill races are won. I'm sure Brian Buell is fast as hell and a great rider. But when he's sitting there telling us that the 29er with full Ohlins suspension is better and faster. But can't produce better results with two equil timed runs on it to back his words? I don't know what to believe anymore. Just because Ohlins has been around forever making suspension on all type of race machines, doesn't mean there going to be better than Rockshox stuff. And the mullet...

I bought the 2020 Intense Primer 29 about 3 months ago. And Vital MTB's brief review discription is spot on accurate! I can go out and spend the whole day riding this bike and never get tired. Extremely fast and effcient. All the parts are spec'd out really well too. My only complaint about the Expert model is the rear hub. The points of engagement is lacking for such a nice built bike. But I understand at the $3,800 price point. Just remember that Intense sells the Primer at 3 diffent price points. $3800, $5700 and $7,000. Even with a...
