Review: 2026 Intense Spider - The Slalom Specialist
Replying to myself! It doesn't look like there is which is a shame. I always wanted an aluminium Tracer but they never made them in my size, seems I'm destined not to ever own an Intense!

Lovely looking bike, is there a UK distributor for Intense at the moment?

Seb's Day 2 Randoms - Eurobike 2025
@aly-14: I love my 2017 Stage 5, it's great fun and despite what the internet says in hasn't broken yet. I still ride it regularly although admittedly that is because no one on Pinkbike will buy it!

Opinion: The Price - Balancing Risk & Reward on Solo Rides
It's a risk reward thing, I think you need to have properly hurt yourself a few times before you land on what is the acceptable level of risk for you in a given situation. If you are by yourself, hours from help with no phone signal then doing stupid things increases the risk but you can also get a freak injury from the most basic things going. Regardless of whether you think you are being risky or taking it easy you need to be able to self rescue to some extent or at least have the kit to stabilise yourself and be prepared for a long wait before someone to find you. You can only rely on yourself and your preparation.

Explained: How Much Money Do Pro Mountain Bikers Make for Winning World Cup Races in 2025?
@enduroNZ: Road cycling is a team sport so the earnings get shared throughout the team participating in that event.

Results from the Leogang Enduro World Cup 2023
@pisgahgnar: The way the enduro pits is in a dusty carpark away from the DH pits makes enduro look like a second tier event which is a shame. Plus the fact that they are running the enduro mid week doesn't really reflect enduro as a prestigious event in it's own right.
