Inverted Fox DH fork prototype

May 30 2011 No Commented
Gee Atherton did an early morning practice run at the US Open with this prototype inverted Fox fork bolted to the front of his Commencal. While Fox was tight lipped about the fork, being sure to emphasize that it is still quite a ways from being a production unit (<i>if ever</i>), they were kind enough to share some interesting information with us.<br><br>- While the fork is currently without a name, it is part of Fox's Racing Application Development (<i>RAD</i>) program that, as the name suggests, consists of products developed specifically for competition. There are about 15 different projects that currently fall under the RAD program umbrella .<br><br>- Fox is keeping mum on whether or not they plan to produce an inverted fork for the public, but Pinkbike is willing to say that that must surely be the goal down the road.<br><br>- Fox has actually been testing an inverted chassis for well over a year now, possibly much longer than that even.<br><br>- Word from Fox is that there are perhaps a dozen examples of this prototype inverted fork currently in different stages of testing<br><br>- Fox is evaluating many different spring combinations, including both air and coil, as well as a coil sprung and air assisted unit.<br><br>- They were not willing to comment on the damping internals being used, which most likely means that you won't find a standard FIT RC2 cartridge inside of Gee's fork.

Fox Racing Shox quietly debuted both their prototype telescoping seatpost and incredibly impressive one piece titanium tapered steerer tube and crown combination during Interbike. That’s right, a tapered steerer tube and crown that is manufactured from a single piece of titanium by Fox. There are photos and audio explaining the how’s and why’s inside, just in case you don’t believe me!

Shimano launched its flagship XTR mountain bike component group in 1991, and over the last 20 years, it has become the standard for high performance. The group originally consisted of a modest array of parts – disc brakes and wheelsets weren’t available way back then – but now incorporates a complete drivetrain system (shifters, front and rear derailleur, chain, cassette, crankset, chainrings and pedals), hubs and rims, and disc brakes.

When a Handjob won’t do and picking up a STD is out of the question, it’s time to take another look at the G-Spot. For 2010, Cove completely redesigned the venerable G-Spot from the loam up.

The biggest change for the G-Spot is the suspension design. Gone is the rocker arm linkage with pivots on the seat stays and around the bottom bracket, in favour of the same floating pivot point suspension design as its big brother, the Shocker. So, how does this new version of a Shore classic ride? Good question… (more…)

After spending two solid days riding the new V10 Carbon at the Whistler bike park I can say that it is no longer a niche bike.  It is still a nice bike – actually nicer than ever – but it is no longer a niche bike.   (more…)
