Unicorn Brings Intends Wildest Products to Market, Starting with the Infinity WC and Edge WC Forks
Unicorn by Intend is a new small-batch, direct-to-rider label created to bring Intends unicorn projects extraordinary and one-off to market. This includes special projects like carbon forks, unique colors, and more that the brands regular production cycle simply cant accommodate. Driven by Harold Bogdan and working in collaboration with Cornelius Kapfinger, Unicorn allows Intends wildest ideas, concepts, and prototypes to be produced.Unicorn is launching with two flagship products, the Infinity World Cup and Edge World Cup suspension forks the latter was raced by Enduro World Champion Raphaela Richter to victory in Finale Ligure last month. Both models mirror the design of their standard counterparts, but step things up with carbon upper tubes, Cerakote Transfer Grey crowns, and gold details. Not surprisingly, they also step up pretty significantly in price, too.Raphaela Richters Crossworx Dash with the Unicorn WC fork.Why Though?With Intend growing and daily orders for forks, brakes, and shocks in standard configuration, theres rarely any time left for the extraordinary projects. Thats also why the carbon fork never went into production, and why its now time to put these things in other hands.-Cornelius Kapfinger, Founder, Intend BCAccording to the folks at Intend, Unicorn will allow the brand to focus as it moves away from limited batch releases to keep more of its products available all the time. Essentially, Intend is scaling up production of its existing products, and that leaves less time to tinker with experimental or one-off projects. Unicorn essentially becomes Intends special projects division, which will be driven by Harold Bogdan in collaboration with Cornelius Kapfinger.Bogdan says he convinced Cornelius to let him drive the extraordinary projects forward, and he goes on to say, Under the Unicorn (by Intend) label, we make curated products. We pick whats feasible, set a quantity, and get going. Sometimes that means carbon, sometimes a different anodising, sometimes single pieces from leftover stock.Built first, then released. Unicorn products arent made to order. Theyre produced first and then made available to buy.Trusted Performance: Every Unicorn is based on an Intend product and developed in close collaboration with the team in Freiburg, so the latest Intend technology goes into every Unicorn product, without exception.Small numbers, on purpose. Every release has a fixed quantity. When its gone, its gone.WishboxTo inform Unicorn product decisions, they are seeking rider feedback. Theyre calling it the Wishbox, and its where theyll be collecting ideas for what they should make next.You can provide feedback and help crowdsource ideas for Unicorns next projects on the Wishbox page of the Unicorn website, here.Which colours are trending? Which options deserve a closer look? Which combination have you always wanted to see on your bike? The more riders back an idea, the higher it climbs on our list. The best ideas often come from the community pool. And if a wish doesnt make it this time, it usually just hasnt gathered enough voices yet. So share it, push it, and bring your friends.Unicorn Edge World CupAs mentioned above, Raphaela Richter just raced the Edge WC fork to victory at the Enduro World Championships in Finale Ligure, Italy. Thats a pretty strong endorsement for the Unicorn version of Intends single-crown enduro fork.
