The Tsar Bomba is a whole new model for 2011 and is still at a pre-production level.

Their Multi-bar PRS suspension is a single pivot and linkage driven shock system that has a full 9 inches of travel available.

The bike will come with a tapered headtube and a standard 12 x 150 mm rear end spacing. I’ll tell you more when they’ll be released.

I have recently brought some Eastern Fuquay-Flyer grips and thought I’d write my 2 cents about them.
First off, the Fuquay-Flyers come in Black, White, Red, Blue, Purple colors. They are very soft, and that makes your hands slip a little bit on them when your hands are sweaty and you have no gloves on. They are very comfortable and you won’t have your hands full of blisters and stuff like that. I cannot talk about the time it takes them to wear out though, because I put them on my bike a week ago or something like that. The bar-ends are OK too, but my handlebar is very thin at the ends so they sometimes come out ( happens to most of the grips that are not lock-ons when put on this bar, though) .
I have had some Eastern grips before, the Corals, that were nice too. All in all, Eastern grips are pretty awesome and cheap ( I paid 26 RON for mine, or 6 euros).

Code’s little brother just got tougher. With an all new, forged dual-diameter, four-piston caliper, Code R offers increased power without compromising control or feel. With a simplified design to make it a little easier on the wallet, Code R maintains the Code family values of reliability, strength and ridiculously easy serviceability. Now featuring the fade-free braking of TaperBore Technology and the sleek yet oh-so-powerful integrated reservoir on top of Avid’s proven Power Reserve Geometry™, the Code R will make you think before you call this brake anyone’s “little” brother.
