2010 Rock Shox BoXXer Team

Redesigned with the supremely adjustable and long travel specific Mission Control DH damping, DropStop bottom out systems and new 35mm dual crown chassis, the legendary BoXXer just became that much faster. Advanced damper technologies give an unwaveringly smooth and consistent feel to the reliable Coil or the adjustable and light Solo Air spring. Striking a perfect balance between weight, stiffness and performance this fork isn’t for those who live to ride. It’s for those who live to ride faster.

Technologies:
Coil
The coil spring is a simple time-tested design with a smooth feel and linear spring curve.

Drop Stop
Bottom out adjustment at its finest. Our DropStop technologies control harsh bottoming out by ramping up the spring rate as the suspension nears full compression using elastomer bumpers or air volume adjustment. Say good-bye to that awful “KER-thunk” sound on even the hardest of landings.

Dual Flow Adjust
The effectiveness of Dual Flow’s independent damping circuits with the added control of externally adjustable beginning and ending-stroke rebound. Tuning suspension to actively respond to successive small bumps as perfectly as it absorbs big drops has never been easier.

Maxle Lite DH
Designed for the downhill crowd, this tooled version of our Maxle Lite is light, stiff and has loads of clearance.

Mission Control DH
We’ve taken the plush and bombproof design of Mission Control and traded out the floodgate for a high-flow compression piston to optimize descent oriented bump performance. High and low-speed compression and Dual Flow rebound controls are right at your fingertips because when you’re riding downhill, every second matters.

Powerbulge
Material reinforcement in the lower leg at the bushing increases stiffness and bushing durability.

Scott Voltage FR 30

An entirely new model for 2010 the Scott Voltage Free-Ride is one of the most adaptable and versatile big hitting full suspeension rigs available. Designed primarily for slope-style and free-ride it has tight jump bike like handling; the ability to run anywhere from 150mm to 180mm of travel (model dependant) further increases it adaptability making it a more than capable downhill bike. Add into this the superb pricing and you have what deserves to be the biggest selling long travel bike of 2010.


Key features

* VoltageFR alloy 6061 frame
* Rock Shox Domain 302 suspension fork, Marzocchi Coil R rear shock
* 8 speed, SRAM X7rear mech, SRAM X4 shifters
* Avid Elixir 5 hydraulic disc brakes

Expo Bike 2010 Bucharest


I slept shortly enough to wake up at a decent hour, so I would not miss the expo. Being an event I have been waiting for for almost a month, I was a little let down by its small scale: only a small pavillion of Romexpo. Nevertheless, I have seen a lot of nice stuff there, some of it for sale at great prices. Paying 5 RON (about 1 E ) for the entrance did totally worth it. In front of the pavillion, a small street/park and a flatland contest were held, in which some KHE pro riders participated. OK, let’s cut the crap and take a look at the pics ! Sorry about their quality, though.

Sram new X-0 ( 2011) group preview

SRAM’ s X-0 range is one of the best balanced group-components on the market. The X-0 set has been a benchmark for the industry for a while now, so let’s check out the hot stuff below! As we already know, their quality is unquestionable, so watch out, Shimano !

We currently know that the group will have 2×10 as well as 3×10 transmission types. The crank arms will be made out of carbon, light enough for cross country, tough enough for downhill. Does that satisfy you ? If your answer is ” not yet” , keep on reading !

The brakes will play an important part of the group, replacing this year’s Elixir CR model.
All of the parts will be available in the summer of 2010, and will have four different colored versions : blue, red, black and gold. Is that bling or what ?
