The 2009 Intense Uzzi now carries the sames design ques as the new 2009 Intense Tracer with curved lines and adjustable suspension travel settings, but that is not all that is new with this redesigned bike out of Intense Cycles.
Mountain Cycle is not new to the bike industry. For newer riders, this may be the first you have heard of Mountain Cycle, but for those of us that have been around since the late 80’s/early 90’s…Mountain Cycle used to be a household name that graced the cover of magazines worldwide.
For those of you that were following my Facebook and Twitter account…you are already aware that I was waiting on 3 big brown boxes to come out of the big brown truck yesterday. What was in those 3 large brown boxes…bikes of course!
Some…if not all…of you may have seen this bike. The Delta 7 Arantix is hailed as one of the most expensive hardtails on the market. With an MSRP of 4,895 for frame only (recently reduced from $7,000!) this “Isotruss” frame is the most expensive cheese grater money can buy.
Pivot Cycles, one of the first to use the world renowned DW-Link suspension design, is really stepping up to the plate for 2009. Check out their Interbike booth for a first hand look at these new rides. Pivot is ready for a full out fight in 2009.
Over the last six months, I’ve grown bored and annoyed at my modern full suspension mountain bike. The incessant chain slap. The complicated and vulnerable rear derailleur. The bobbing suspension. The lazy lines I was being allowed to pick. It no longer brought me joy.
Yesterday, I had a great conversation with the man himself…Dave Turner. As many of you already know, it is a very exciting time for the guys over at Turner Bikes. They completely redesigned their entire line for 2009 to the DW-Link suspension.
Take a look at these two new hardtails out of the Ibis camp. That’s right…you are reading it correctly…titanium! Of course, there also has to be a new carbon in the lineup.
So here are a few pics of the all new, 2009 W.F.O. 9. This bike is for real but you’ll have to wait for early 2009 to get one. And so is the fork. We’re launching the W.F.O. with Marzocchi and their all new 2010 Marzocchi 44 29er fork.
Huge news from the first day of Eurobike. Dave Turner and Dave Weagle have teamed up to change the entire line of Turner Bikes over to the DW-Link. This is a gigantic change for Turner Bikes and it is the release that Weagle has been hinting towards for some time now.
