Inpulse are a French brand who appeared on the small but expanding market at the end of last year (Inpulse Racing Bikes). Launched by top Elite rider Cédric Fontenoy, the company is the result of a lot of work and planning. Cédric had been developing his own bikes for several years and as a result, it is now a top piece of kit! He decided to make his dream come true and create his own trials company, with a shock ambassador: the No.1 rider in the Rhône-Alps region and one of the best riders in France, his brother Aurélien Fontenoy! In 2007, Aurélien took the Junior 20" & 26" world titles in Fort William and he had a very successful 2009 season (fourth in the European Championship in Zoertemeer and sixth in the Canberra World Championship). A few weeks ago the Inpulse website (www.inpulsebikes.com) went live and you can follow all of the latest news, discover their range of products, their team and also buy one of their bikes. We had told you that the 26" would be on the market soon and they are now available to buy from the site. They are even on offer for the rest of the month. A full bike weighs in at 9kg and is kitted out with ViZ and Trialtech parts. The 20" models will be available in the next week or so.
