New gear from Specialized, Avid, Formula, RockShox & Mavic

And also a single piece, single sided design (only one pad will move)

  • Sauser shows the world his new world beater
  • Sauser and the Epic, which will soon get some stripes added to the paintjob to match the jersey
  • Unfortunately the new World Champion was rather less focussed on than his bike
  • The new Specialized shock, which features a higher volume
  • A golden cassette was very appropriate considering the outcome of the race
  • A braze on Dura Ace front mech was just one of the integration notes
  • The FACT carbon downtube
  • The new shock position in more detail, featuring a mini rocker
  • The drivetrain featured a more refined crank spider
  • Which looked ready for production on a team replica bike
  • The new Brain e100 fork made in house
  • With an oversized crown for better stiffness
  • Still attached by a quick release. We wonder how long before it uses a skinny through axle
  • A new Crossmax wheel was long overdue
  • The carbon spokes are bonded direct to the hub
  • A closeup of the spokes, which are certainly original
  • And the rim, which is slightly more square and box sectioned and also used in a prototype tubular version.
  • The new B1 brake marks a return for Formula to the lightweight cross-country market
  • A floating rotor drops a lot of weight and accounts for the 280g claimed mass
  • It should also improve overheating issues
  • The caliper is minimalist
  • And also a single piece, single sided design (only one pad will move)
