You have to admit it is a bit of a stupid question isnt it. It might enlighten you a tiny but its not as if its gonna be a question on Who wants to be a millionaire is it? Why do Intense call it the M3? or the M2? or M1? Just like any company name.

don't think I've heard of a M2? sure you don't mean M1, M3, and M6?

Yer whatever i was just picking an example, ok well why wasnt there an Intense M2? or M4 OR M5??

Tried to find it for ya, all I could find is that CH in their serial numbers don't stand for China, but rather the first inhabitants of Switzerland. One of the guys who started the company has a last name beginning with D, but nothing with the T. Could be children, could be their school acronym, could be anything.

No CH does really not stand for China Big Grin LOL .... CH means Confederatio Helvetica, that's Latin for Switzerland. They used the latin language, because they speak 4 different languages in switzerland and used the latin to have a "neutral" language.
