Jake Pantone joins us for the latest episode of The HKT Podcast. Jake is the VP of product & consumer experience at ENVE Composites and, has been with the company for over 10 years. During this conversation we discuss how Jake began his career at ENVE and how starting from the ground up has helped him in his current role. We also chat product development, how working alongside race teams like the Santa Cruz Syndicate helped to improve products and why the company have decided to keep all manufacturing operations in-house.
The new M series range claims to eliminate pinch flats, does it really, how? Is there a new product on the horizon? And, why are ENVE products so expensive? Yes, we break that down too!
