Intense Cycles Goes Direct, Reduces Bike Prices 8

December 4, 2017 – Temecula, CA: Today, Intense Cycles introduces a new global hybrid sales model: Intense Rider-Direct, with the goal of offering more buying flexibility, improved service options and aggressive new pricing worldwide.

In the US, the brand will continue to work together with IBD’s (independent bicycle dealers, aka: local bike shops). Both the IBD and the Intense website will offer the same bikes for the same, new low price.

This allows riders the flexibility to buy the same world-class bikes Intense is known for directly from the manufacturer and have the bike shipped straight to their home.

At the same time, Intense Rider Direct makes it possible for bike shops to vastly decrease their financial investment in flooring bikes, while still being able to offer a high-end boutique brand, and stay involved in the commerce chain.

Intense currently works with a collection of exceptional retailers in their home country and is committed to continuing to grow its presence in American IBDs. All bikes sold in the US come with a free, limited service plan, also through the IBD. 

The international markets will be handled a bit differently. Intense has established over a dozen service centers and warehouses across the globe, meaning that, in most cases, bikes will ship directly to the rider from a local warehouse, allowing the price to be inclusive of all local duty and tax.  

This also gives Intense the ability to provide faster, more effective customer service in most rider’s “home” language and time zone.

Regardless of where new Intense bikes are purchased, they all come with a custom Intense-branded accessory box that includes all your paperwork, product manuals, and all the specialty tools required to do final assembly on your new bike.

In addition, our new website has been completely redesigned and is loaded with all the information you need to choose the right bike for you, get technical support, find answers to your questions, and learn more about our company’s rich heritage.

“Our bikes are the best they’ve ever been.” says Founder/Designer, Jeff Steber. “But the price tags were keeping them out of reach for a large majority of riders. Intense Rider-Direct brings prices down and improves service all over the world.”
