Hairy Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 that is a solid team! So, all speculation on Mr Gwin was correct, he will be riding Intense... https://downhilllife.com/2019/01/23/aaron-gwin-joins-intense-cycles/?fbclid=IwAR2LJEq_X6P3-EyCrtFpUmuZArVlGg7YvSc6SE4Lt_lbmCHmuMN7rbbGCc4

Duane_Bosch Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 See who has invested into Intense? The oke who owns/owned the Geico Honda Supercross team and Ryan Dungey the 4 time Supercross and 3 time AMA Motocross champ. I'm a big Ryan Dungey fan. I never used to be but he's a classic example of hard work and dogged determination beating talent.

I never used to be but he's a classic example of hard work and dogged determination beating talent (don't forget the win-assist thanks to team orders... ).was a bit surprised to see such celebrity investment. It's unusual and makes me wonder what the bigger plan is. I mean, what is Intense's market share in the USA and globally? I chuckled at gwin's throwing of shade at all previous frames he had ridden, with that chirp about the intense's rear linkage feels so good, it made him wonder if the other frames his ridden were ever working properly. lulz.but that chirp seems to make sense in light of how quickly and unceremoniously, YT dumped him.
Eddy Gordo Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I see they will also be rolling on kendas.
Capricorn Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I see they will also be rolling on kendas. gwin has a sharpie clause in his rubber contract..

I don't know. We've yet to hear from YT and Whitely. I don't think things are as clear cut as Gwin makes it out to be. He's been a notoriously difficult guy to work with - just look at the shitshow years back with Trek. He's also quiet on the relationship with Onza and what happened there. Either way, I think it's an interesting move. Now, where the hell are the Athertons off to? My guess is that they'll just have a frame sponsor and not be on a full factory team.
Capricorn Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Now, where the hell are the Athertons off to? My guess is that they'll just have a frame sponsor and not be on a full factory team. YT? any news on the redcar rocket? WIth talk of the Athertons rolling on Saracen, I don't see them sharing the paddock with Mr Hart. Did the welsh vote for brexit?
Eddy Gordo Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I read somewhere that yt pulling out of downhill. Dunno how true that is tho.Also read the comments in the link i posted about gwinn being team owner.
Odinson Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 YT? any news on the redcar rocket? WIth talk of the Athertons rolling on Saracen, I don't see them sharing the paddock with Mr Hart. Did the welsh vote for brexit? To my knowledge, 'Danny has my Hart' is staying put. I don't see the Athertons joining Saracen. I'm surprised they can even afford Hart. I'm leaning towards a fringe frame supplier. Rocky Mountain, Nukeproof, Radon, Cube or some brand in those leagues.
