Intense are proud to have Shaun Palmer back on board as a brand ambassador: evidently there’s no plans for him to race. Taking pride of place on the Intense stand was his old race bike. It’s interesting to see how far downhill bikes have come in such a short amount of time.

Those tyre bumpstops are actually made from old handlebar grips are they not?
