What is Intense Cycles?

Given the company's emphasis on domestic production, the funding may also support initiatives to strengthen its supply chain resilience or explore new avenues for American-made components. Intense Cycles is poised to leverage this financial backing to solidify its competitive advantage and continue its legacy of producing high-performance, American-crafted mountain bikes.
