Intense Cycles New 2007 Mid Season Models
Intense Cycles will add three new models to the 2007 lineup. Based on
feedback from Intense riders, dealers and sponsored athletes, Jeff Steber
has created some exciting new VPP dual suspension designs. The 6.6
Slopestyle, Spider 69er and 5.5 29er will all debut in 2007. To create the
Slopestyle, Jeff took the popular 6.6 and slackened the head angle lowered
the bottom bracket and beefed up the rear triangle, making it more "bike
park" friendly. The Spider 69er combines a 29 inch front wheel with a 26
inch rear and the 5.5 29er brings longer travel and better tire clearance to
the 29er platform.
Being one of the few companies producing bikes, in-house, we can react to
the market and produce small runs of multiple models. This allows Intense to
satisfy many of the niche segments other companies are forced to overlook.
Because they are tied to large purchase orders from overseas factories, the
big guys have to wait until a trend reaches a significant sales volume to
dedicate a new model. We are always listening to our customers needs and can
design, prototype, test and get the bikes to market, much quicker.
