INTENSE FACTORY RACING DOWNHILL
TEAM
INTENSE Factory Racing was born in the mid-90’s with iconic riders like Shaun Palmer and later Chris Kovarik, Vanessa Quin, Nigel Page and Sam Hill. Throughout the brand’s history the team has played an integral role in R&D and product development, with the primary goal of helping us provide World Cup proven race bikes to INTENSE fans everywhere.
The tradition continues today with all three of our riders – Aaron Gwin, Neko Mulally and Seth Sherlock testing, perfecting and racing the M29 and our M279 prototype downhill bikes for the 2021 race season and beyond.
