Intense Factory Racing Officially Calls It Quits.

Whilst the rumours were rife, it is now official that there will be no Intense Factory Racing heading to the races in 2024 which has several implications.

You are reading this improperly. Intense Factory Racing was the entity that Aaron Gwin ran for/with them. They/He parted ways. So they killed the old team on paper, and started the new team in house.

How so? They're quality brakes. I suspect you haven't even seen them in the wild. Everyone who's ridden my bike since I've gotten them has commented on great they feel.

agreed. My new LH4 are way better than any shimano, magura, or SRAM set I've used.

That’s cool I’m glad your cheap PRC knockoff brakes are working. Wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt.

The fact a factory team is using them is still hilarious. The fact Dario from pinkbike called them “boutique” is even more hilarious. I bet they aren’t as good as Dominions.

Such ignorance. Le sigh.

Being an owner of both Dominion A4's (on my 5010) and Lewis LHT's (on the Heckler), I'd take that bet any day of the fucking week. I'm about to sell my Dominions and replace them with the Hope T4 V4's that were on my Heckler.

I’ve owned and ridden with both Hayes Dominion A4s and Lewis LHTs and I will never go back to Dominion brakes again. Lewis brakes are, in my opinion, a far superior product for me and how I want my brakes to feel and perform. The only instance where my Dominions were superior to my LHTs was with the light lever feel, but the LHTs range of adjustment allows them to get almost, but not quite, to the same lightness. So, feel free to laugh all you want and feel free to try and change the definition of “boutique” to fit your narrative while those of us who have actually ridden both brands continue enjoying our Lewis brakes.

shh, he is on some kind of mission to get an imaginary copyright or patent protection lawsuit
to bring Loongze Precision CNC down. They make world class DC fishing reels and also Lewis Brakes.

What's a DC fishing reel?
Click to expand...

battery-less microcontroller for dialing in how you cast.
pretty slick, self powered and computer controlled.
regulates spool speed and ramp up/ramp down.

most have preprogrammed profiles
so you can cast various ways picking a profile

here are some Lewis Brake I mean Loongze reels

Cool. I had no idea there was such a thing.

I've just been using Shimano spinning reels all these years.
