Karpiel was making eight inch travel downhill bikes when Foes was creating their five in travel Weasel. Their bikes rode great, where light and handled very well. They went through a few tough years but are now trying to comeback with some familiar models that have been updated to todays standards for downhill. Check out the story HERE on PINKBIKE or go to KARPIEL BIKES and see more 
Disco Volanté
At 4.5 kgs with the shock, the new Disco Volante is a work of art built specifically for the most demanding and technical race courses out there. Features unparalleled adjustability and an agile, durable frame ready to take on anything. Intricate CNC work and beautiful welds make this bike a true attention getter. The adjustable design, unique to Karpiel, allows for a tunable progression rate, rear wheel travel and bottom bracket height. The frame accepts 3 shock length options and provides a total of 195-250 millimeters of rear wheel travel. Geometry and feature tour coming in early July.
Armageddon
The Legend Has Been Reborn. At 4.6kg with shock, the new Armageddon is lighter and more agile than ever before, while retaining the strength and rigidity that made the original models famous. Made from the highest quality 6061 tubing and billet, this bike features intricate CNC work and is heat-treated and quality-tested to T6 condition. The adjustable design, unique to Karpiel, allows for a tunable progression rate, rear wheel travel and bottom bracket height.

The International Cycling Union’s (UCI) Management Committee, which is meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, on June 18th and 19th, today approved the calendar for the 2010 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. The 2010 World Cup will include six rounds for each discipline and will take place at nine venues in eight countries. Two new venues in 2010 Dalby Forest, in North Yorkshire, Great Britain, will open proceedings for the 2010 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. This region in the north of England will host, for the first time, the cross country specialists in the world series. After an absence of four years, the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup will make its big comeback in the United States in 2010. For the first time, the ski resort of Windham, in the state of New York, will host the world’s best cross country Olympic, downhill and 4-cross specialists for the final of the season. This will take place a few days before the World Championships in Mt-Ste-Anne (CAN). The 20th edition of the Mountain Bike World Cup will also stop over in Houffalize (BEL), Maribor (SLO), Offenburg (GER), Fort William (GBR), Schladming (AUT), Champéry (SUI) and Val di Sole (ITA). This Italian resort is new to the World Cup calendar this year, but has already hosted the UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships in 2008. |

Well it looks like the boys at Intense are trying to help out amateur riders the best way they know how. And that is by giving them the ability to purchase a complete 951 with WC specs for less than $5000. How is that for a deal? Thirty eight pounds is pretty good for heavy wheels and tires. Intense has always offered amateur racers, the opportunity to purchase the same World Cup capable, DH frames, our sponsored pros ride. The new 951 FRO continues that tradition. With the sport getting more expensive everyday, Intense wanted to put together a package that would enable aspiring racers to get on a high performance race bike that wouldn’t break the bank. By working with our suppliers we were able to come up with a great deal on a complete 951 FRO. |
