First look: Mongoose; GT; Schwinn cruiser; Sugoi

The high-end spec includes a Shimano Alfine 8-speed internally geared rear hub.

  • Mongoose has added the red-and-white Teocali Super paint scheme it first showed off at last year's Interbike show.
  • GT says its new Fury carbon downhill bike is not only stiffer but much, much stronger than its aluminium predecessor.
  • The monocoque front triangle uses particularly thick-walled carbon tubing for impact resistance.
  • The reinforced down tube underside is also somewhat V-shaped to deflect debris off to the side, rather than take a more potentially damaging direct hit.
  • The integrated head tube is 1.5
  • The broad top tube promises a torsionally rigid front end.
  • The swingarm is also a monocoque carbon fibre bit.
  • The beefed-up linkage is built using stout aluminium construction.
  • Last year's aluminium Marathon range will be replaced by a new Sensor model, with an inch of extra travel at either end.
  • The GT I Link suspension design gets a makeover with easier-to-service pivot bearings and hardware.
  • The hydroformed aluminium tubing bears GT's characteristic hard-edge design theme.
  • GT will also offer a women's-specific Sensor as well.
  • The GT GTR Carbon road racer was raced by the Jelly Belly squad at this year's Tour of California.
  • The newly tapered head tube sports trick internal housing stops.
  • A highly adjustable Ritchey head now tops the integrated mast.
  • The tight rear end features wishbone-style stays.
  • A press-fit bottom bracket allows for more widely spaced stays and a fatter down tube, plus it saves a few grams relative to a standard threaded assembly.
  • Conveniently, SRAM's red-anodized X.0 rear derailleur matches nicely.
  • The show bike's carbon post has been replaced with a more versatile telescoping post.
  • A RockShox Revelation fork is fitted up front.
  • This Mongoose Sabrosa won't be available until next year but a handful of clever features should enhance its appeal to urban dwellers.
  • The bars look normal enough but flip the lever…
  • …and they rotate and lock 90 degrees to either side for easier storage in narrow hallways.
  • Likewise, the pedals easily remove for more compact storage - or a quick theft deterrent.
  • The high-end spec includes a Shimano Alfine 8-speed internally geared rear hub.
  • Sliding dropouts make for easier chain tension and brake adjustments.
  • The rigid fork doesn't seem to be especially light but it's stiff and gets the job done.
  • Schwinn has updated its cruiser line with fresh new lines and swoopier styling.
  • A built-in cupholder is located front and centre.
  • Colour-matched chain guards, rims, and fenders enhance the look.
  • Sugoi launched a new RSE line that slots in above its long-standing RS range.
  • The new chamois is thinner and firmer-feeling and also adds vents at both ends.
  • Both men's and women's RSE bibs will be available, the latter with a small buckle up top to pull the straps together.
  • The matching RSE jersey is purpose-built for hot weather.
  • The RSE jersey's ultralight Gobi fabric is ultralight and looks to allow for lots of airflow.
  • Sugoi's new HOV range is aimed at urban riders and commuters looking for a more casual look.
  • Sugoi also continues to offer a wide range of off-road gear.
