you do realize nukeproof is based in euro land while intense is US based? no shit they arent popular over there.
Yup, I live about 30 minutes drive away from Santa Cruz and for some reason I've seen a ton of Santa Cruz, Specialized and Intense bikes but not a single nukeproof go figure. I'm willing to bet people from colorado see more Yetis.
I also don't get the whole misalignment joke thing. I think the last time I read about something like that happening was 2 or 3 generations ago of intense bikes. At some point you guys are going to have to let that go.
Hey i didn't post that Nukeproof for arguee wich brand is bigger/better.
I just posted it for the comment: "Am I the only one that sees nothing to get excited about here? Guess I'm not 'murikan enough..." because Nukeproof isn't US based and it's a "new bike" like the m16.
p.d: who said Intense isn't popular in Europe?

Yeah. For example, Yt industries might have difficult times to establish in us.
I rather choose sånta cruz v10 as it seems appear frequently in sell ads in Europe.
However, Sam Hill rides nuke proof. I would buy it based on that and think it's fast enough and for less bucks..
yeti was somewhat popular when i went to CO last summer. who would have thought?
i like the misalignment jokes.
I see many Intense bike in Europe....I just have to go to my basement!
No, seriously, when I am in bikeparks in Europe it is not uncommon to meet another Intense rider. And regarding the prices they ask here I am still amazed that so many ride them. And currently there is no distributor in Europe except Spain. Doesn't really help either.
But I agree on the German "newcomer" brands: Propain, Solid, Alutech, Last have some really good stuff.
Funny you speak of clones, Solid and Propain are basically ripping off the VPP system. And Nukeproof based the geometry of their DH bike on the Intense M9 because that is what the team wanted at the time.
ive only ever seen two nukeproofs here in the states and tons of intenseses. so by that logic nukeproof isnt selling well
i havent seen a frame misaligned in a long time but the 2nd box link (of 3) they sent me had one of the holes threaded from the opposite direction. apparently thats impossible since a machine does it

oh boy...oh boy...oh boy. this would be sweeeeeeet.
I was told carbon at the end of summer. And that was for their racers.
Any long term opinions on the M16C?
Fully putting my hand up as a Santa Cruz fanboi when I'm thinking about my next ride, but there are some pretty good deals in the buy sell section of that pink bicycle site...
