2025

This race season we will focus on new evolutions for Zerode and their G3. New for 2025 is our cooperation with Hope Technologies in which we will develop in existing and new products in a symbiotic relationship. Also for suspension we are planning something new- stay tuned.

2024

In 2024 the focus was on gaining knowledge about gearboxes and belt drives to kick off the Intense gearbox race bike for 2025 in cooperation with Pinion and Gates belts. On top of this project, we were co-developing an evolution of rims for e13 in terms of compliance and reliability as well as a new generation of tires with our long-term partner Michelin.  

2023

In 2023 we started to develop the new generation downhill bike for our former partner Mondraker. Based on their industrial design and the ZERO suspension system given, we developed a bike based on our vision and knowhow with race orientated kinematic in combination with a fully adjustable geometry thru features like an almost seamless reach adjustment, a separate adjustable bottom bracket shell, a from the geometry unlinked progressivity adjustment, rear end flex adjustments and a compartment for additional weight in the BB area.

Another development which has started in that era was the sidekick hub by e13 to reduce the problem of pedal kickback. While we had to work in certain boundaries of what we were allowed to do on the drive train side, we co-developed and tested this new generation hub.
