Peaty is running the RAD prototype air shock now:

Thats a vivid air, but I have seen the prototype air version of the prototype coil shock that the Fox guys have been testing, can't remember where I saw it though!

So it is LOL I should take more notice in future. I just looked at the pic, saw the blue and red dials and thought RAD :facepalm:

Even bigger fail is it aint even his bike LOL. Must try harder!

Found the one I was on about, also on a Nomad funnily enough!

Like I say looks pretty much like an air version of the prototype coil shocks they've been running since world champs last year.

New Transition Patrol & Scout





Would love a ride on the Scout, looks fun!

lawman

Yeah the scout looks mega fun!! I wanted to test a Bandit at a leisure lakes demo but didn't have time, though apparently they didn't turn up either :? I will be starting work at a transition dealer on Monday though, happy days!

Perfect timing for all their new bikes coming out!

There's also a 26" version of the long travel Patrol called the suppressor

I like the fact Transition have moved on and taken advantage of the expired Horst Link patent but it's still sad to see the Covert go.. Was a great bike

Dick Scruttock

The Patrol looks great, 155mm travel and a 65 degree head angle = fun!

Vital's Eurobike feature...

Highlights for me...

Corsair's 160mm Revo


NS Bikes Snabb E1


Ghost Riot Prototype

paul.skibum

That NS is almost indistibuishable (aside gash colour scheme) from the current Marin's and (probably) a dozen other bikes. Froma pure looks standpoint I prefer the Marin.

The Riot I dont like the look - Might be the prototype but it definitely looks rough.

That Corsair is pretty nice though, looks tidy if a little long at the back.

lawman

Some interesting stuff from Marzocchi on show at Eurobike!



Prototype dropper post, either internal or external routing, looks quite smart.

Also showing a new Enduro shock, the 350asdfghjkl (or something along those lines)



Whether they'll be good is anyones guess I reckon, the 350 NCR was meant to come out last year but so far other than on Pro bikes it doesn't seem to have materialized, with only the cheaper CR version available to the public :?

I thought the riot had been released long ago in full carbon, so why is there some (as has been said) very rough looking straight tubed prototype on display?

It's a prototype for 2016, and will be available in both carbon and alu by the time it's released.

The fatbike looks interesting.

I know someone who has that prototype air shock (Marzocchi sponsored rider) and he says very good things about it. The Marzocchi coil shock which came out last year is at least as good as my CCDB coil and a fair amount lighter.

paul.skibum

I am pleased to see good things coming from Marz - would be keen for the 350CR for the Bronson maybe if I can get it.

rockmonkeysc

Ideal for anyone who thinks fat bikes are just too light. This has a claimed weight of 55.8lb :shock:

The Rungu Juggernaut. A 29er version will also be available soon.
Price is a very reasonable $2900 (USD)

Angus Young

That really is quite lovely.

CitizenLee

They had that on Gadget Man the other night.... a bizarre creation

we are slowly sneaking these out into the market could be Enduro bike worthy

Narrow wide rings, a lot of folks will be saying another one, ffs but wait a mo these are superhard (think ceramic impregnated)coated and have a pretty cool tooth profile that just gets us a bit more contact are to reduce wear further, that funny 18 degree forward pitch also grips your chain just a wee bit

All marginal improvements but Kind of took what we learned from coatings and stuff from time in Formula 1 and putting things that could be of use into our products

If i knew how to send em for review i would but unfortunately i m just a stupid engineer and all i can do is send them for independent testing at a lab for wear tests against the competition

Just look for the contact detail in the magazines and on the websites and get in touch with them. They'll tell you what to do to get your kit into their hands.

They look very nice!

These might be a comfy addition to your enduro bike:

Interesting pattern. Inspired by beer glasses apparently.

I spy with my little eye... Short cage xtr courtesy of Greg Minaar...
Might have been around a while, but first I've seen of it...

rockmonkeysc

Looks like he could use one of these

Northwind

Isn't that just a saint cage on an XTR mech? shortcage XTR doesn't fit well with shimano's braindamaged approach to groupsets these days

Lewis A

I did think it was odd too that it would be tested on a last gen mech...

paul.skibum

Anyone see this on Pinkbike - Norco Range for USD $3000 and a bit:

66 degree HA, slightly lower BB and variable length rear depending on size. Looks good although based on my mates experiences, if you order one it might not show up.

lawman

Well the new Mojo HD has been launched today, can't say as I'm a huge fan. Looks pretty ugly and the geometry is certainly on the conservative side...
