@DGWW: I agree with your comment, you're right. Apologies for getting all countries into ''Asian made''. I'm well aware of Taiwan's way of life and their highly fabrication practices. My point is, we have this habit of changing foreign-made products fast because it's low cost for what it is. If from one day to another we would have to pay for this quality and entry-level products being American/EU made, stuff would be expensive. Hence, we would consume slower and rather buy quality made to last. I just find that companies like Intend, finding a way to fabricate performance-quality products locally at a comparable price to big brands, is responsible and super cool.

Compare to most expensive fox/RC full price product , I’d say yes it’s affordable. Let’s be honest , if we have to pay all our asia made parts/frame , with basically ultra low labor cost and no regards to the environment waste using asian fabrication process, the price of american or EU fabrication, it’d certainly not be cheaper that intend’s price product range. A big brand 10 k $ all asian made complete bike would be how much if all made in US for instance? At least 2X maybe 3X ? 1500 EUR for EU’s CNC parts, EU labor and meticulous by hand bushing to stanchions fit it’s super fair IMO. I think fast consumption of products made in asian made us forget the real value of ‘’ local ‘’quality product made to last and be repairable.

@sackifrombikeyoke: It’s not clear indeed. I’m sure they’ll get this clearer. The remote is wireless to pass signal to actuator. To charge the battery’s actuator and remote in same time, the cable’s connector that sticks out frame’s dropper cable port needs to be pull out and plug into the remote. Then usb-c cable can be plug into remote in a second plug in and both actuator’s and remote’s battery can be charge. That’s the way I understand it from Kickstarter info. Imo its pretty clever. No need to remove the post to charge and can get this thing some juice via cellphone or powerbank for extreme necessity. Also, if routing the cable is an hassle for you or for the frame you got, at least you do it once for the whole lige you want to Use that retrofit wireless actuator.

@DokteurP: T’inquiète, je participerais pas à scrapper le stock une batterie à la fois.

A guy like him or a guy like you ?

@ceecee: Good eye :) Point was not that much if it's a 6K or 10K bike, just a lack of skill, judgment and experience for a rider that have this kind of bike.

@Hogfly: Hey, The kid is amazing ! I'll go check his insta thanxTalking about the other guy.

at 1:18, guy stop his front wheel was ok on first jump but not second... He clearly has a 10k$ bike but not the skill... Guys please, before changing bike make sure to top off it capacitys. That way your bike skills will grow along your bike capability. Best thing you can do to stay a average rider, is to get the big bike without the skill and speed capacity needed that goes along that bike..
