Core Bike 16 #3

Our third selection of Core Bike goodies and we have new kit from Hope, DVO, POC, Ibis and Stinger

Hope Bikes had some impressive display’s. Their hand layered Carbon Seatpost looked super tech weighing just 200g and priced at £130. We really liked their new stainless steel cassettes. Machined from a single billet of Stainless Steel.

Range:10-24t
Seven sprockets machined from single billet of heat treated stainless steel
11 speed spacing
Maximum 20% ratio changes
Integrated chain guide
Available late March

DVO looked all business with their briefcase secured Jade Coil Shock

LOADER STYLE COMPRESSION CIRCUITS
BLADDER SYSTEM
HIGH FLOW EMERALD PISTON
COOLING FINS ON RESERVOIR
SPRING PRELOAD

Their Topaz is a CNC machined shock which shares the cooling ribbed look as featured on the Jade Coil and will have a 3 point compression adjuster and highly tuneable low speed rebound adjuster.
Available in 200mm x 50mm, 200mm x 56mm and 215mm x 63mm sizes

POC’s Tectal, Coron Lids and Aspire glasses caught our eyes. The Tectal is their premium trail lid with huge cooling vents and comes in either Standard or Race options. RRP – £140.00

The POC Aspire glasses really stand out. Oversize one piece lenses and on-point styling will go down well amongst the uber fashion conscious. Look nice sitting on top of the Tectal lid.

The POC Coron is their high end full facer with a really nice understated look

Ibis HD in all it’s glory.

Thanks to Stinger we were ‘NOM NOM NOM NOM’…. Their Honey and Strawberry Waffles are pretty much the most delicious thing we’ve ever tasted. Nom.

Car worth more than the bike it carries. Bizarre.
