Not sure if this has been mentioned yet.... but noticed yesterday that all European sales of Intense bikes have been withdrawn. They are supporting from a warranty or spares perspective (out of an Austrian HQ) - but now only concentrating on the North American market.
Appreciate they divide opinion on looks and colourways - but I am quite fond of my Sniper, and this is a real shame.
I noticed a couple of days ago. I'd spotter a Tracer 279 frame on PinkBike that sparked my interest but as I was hunting around for information I realised that bikes were no longer listed on the European site.
Was news to me - not sure when the change happened. Shame. I owned a Carbine 29er for a few years, bought for a silly deal in their sale, and it was great.

Appears to be warranty/spares supported from US warehouse:
They are probably being ****ed by Trumps trade wars and hope to bunker down and return if more sensible times return.
They rarely, if ever, had anything in my size in stock for years when I've looked at the website and honestly can't remember the last time I saw any of their bikes out on the trails
I honestly can't remember the last time I saw an Intense anywhere outside of spectating at a WCDH race.
It seems like they've been limping from disaster to disaster for most of their existence.
I thought they already had in the uk at least. I loved my fro 5.5 but wouldn’t buy any of their recent efforts
Shame, lovely bikes. And the old uk set up was great to deal with.
on the trails, I see a fair few from around 2017-19 but once you had to deal with Spain to order a bike plus brexit , that pretty much finished them in the uk.
