TEMECULA, Calif. (BRAIN) — Intense Cycles will work with distributor Shock Therapy to serve the German and Austrian bike markets beginning Sept. 1.

"Together with Shock Therapy, we have been able to find good market coverage and present attractive pricing and excellent service to German and Austrian dealers and riders," said Intense's CEO, Andrew Herrick.

This is exactly what Intense needs at this time and we will be very involved with the team at Shock Therapy to support the market."

Hans Scherf of Shock Therapy said, "I have known Intense founder Jeff Steber for many years and have been a true fan of the company. Intense has made incredible strides as a company in the past year and is one of the fastest growing brands in the mountain bike world.

There is a new management team, improved warranty and service processes and a very full product pipeline for the next 12 months. We are thrilled to be able to re-launch this famous brand in Germany and Austria and I know we will have a successful relationship."
