The M1 made the most impact, no question about it. Proof?
How about 1997 when over a dozen of teams chose to ride M1's when they were PAID and/or sponsored by other large companies. Tomac, Lopes and Donovan to name a few...all getting paid HUGE money to ride for their sponsor but chose and had their way to ride an INTENSE, that is what you call 'proof in the pudding'.
With the M1, Intense went from a small garage company, to one of the largest 'small' builders in the world. It really is a cinderella story.
