'We are very excited to be working with OGC. Their outstanding organization and reputation for service, will surely take Intense to a new level in Canada, which has become such a key market for high end mountain bikes, both in terms of sales and brand image, ’ said Paul Cusick, Intense’s Director of Sales & Marketing.
‘Intense is the best-in-class bike brand in its category,’ according to Rob White, OGC’s Vice-President, Sales. ‘And best-in-class is what describes all of our lines. Intense will provide a great complement to our own Opus bicycle brand.’
OGC is putting together its own parts kits to offer with Intense framesets. They expect to have the framesets available in February with the parts kits scheduled for delivery in mid to late March.

That is very good news. Intense is probably the best
known/drooled after bike brand in Canada but has always suffered
from underrepresentation. I can’t wait to see what some of the
OGC supplied parts kits will look like. I’m thinking a lot of Fox
and Mavic.
