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.

@Togger250 and I keep saying and no one listens or cares. Dak Pinkerton Dunne on Mondraker.

 

There is no such thing as MS intense

There will not be an intense factory team.

Guess it's just a coincidence then... an MS rider... on an Intense... this week.

We will see soon enough.

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?

1. Exactly in the teasing that MS has put on Instagram, with this throwback Markus Stöckl post:

https://www.instagram.com/p/C0uJH5csBpi/

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? Wink

Good enough for you?

Maybe Gwin won’t do the full season… not sure on the PerformX Schedule… but…282EC628-D4D0-4023-8458-1EF4230B7CF0

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.

Don't forget there's a gap of nearly 2 months between races in the middle of the summer.

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!

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.

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.

I am plenty happy with Enduro and from what I've heard internally, contrary to rumours, Enduro isn't going anywhere. But just wait till you see my latest bike, new year new me.
