Intense Cycles

It’s a well-known fact at Intense that Jeff is obsessed with what he calls “form and function”. Any time he is working on a new project, he is single-mindedly driven to ensure the bike delivers BOTH a stunning appearance AND incredible performance. A bike (or guitar, or car, etc..) can’t just look good, or sound good, or be fast – it must meet exceptional standards on all levels. It is Jeff’s preoccupation with “combining form and function” that has brought us some of the boldest, most aggressive and innovative bikes in the history of our sport.
