Eurobike 15 – Extra #1

Eurobike is done, but we aren’t done with Eurobike. We still have loads to show you, so tune in to our Eurobike 15 Extra articles for more 2016 product.

Swansea based Scott Burris has recently started up a new distribution company in the UK, Resurrection Cycle Products and we are keen to see this brand do just that in the UK!  Atomlab have been the go to brand for dirt jump rims and much more for a good decade, pictured is the new 35mm carbon rim.

Alongside Atomlab, Resurrection Cycle Products are bringing Corsair back into the UK.  We haven’t seen much of this brand for a while, but their new frames are simple and robust looking.  Pictured above is the Corsair Imperium DH bike designed to be equipped with either 26 or 275 hoops.

The figures make sense, 63 degree Head Angle, adjustability and a simple design.  The Imperium retails at £1900 including shock, custom builds are also available.

The Konig caught our eye as well as a do-it-all style full suspension set-up.  With a few different build kits this bike looks like it would be as at home on a slopestyle course as it would in your local woods.

It has a large 20mm pivot and looks as built as a DH bike would be, a good looking play bike for an aggressive rider.  £1499 is the price for the frame with Fox CTD shock.

FSA have updated their gravity range. Introducing Grid, their new trail/enduro style products.  Following the way of many other brands, Grid now offers a 35mm bar and stem combo.

The Grid chainguide offers an interesting tool-free swing away bottom and top guide along with a shed load of adjustability.

Using hollow forged arms, the Grid crankset uses the MegaExo system from FSA.  Grid products are distributed by Windwave, so contact your local bike shop for more info.

X-Fusion are soon to release this new fork, the Revel X.  Compared to the previous upside down fork we saw from the brand, the Revel X will be far more affordable.  This new fork is lighter and stiffer than its regular brothers.  Advantages come from the weight being further up, meaning that your front wheel will feel lighter when riding.  To keep them stiff and from twisting, X-Fusion have used a double keyway in the stanchion doubled up with a 20mm bolt through. We are expecting to see this land late 2015/early 2016.

The guts.  This is the X Fusion HLR Damper unit found in many of their forks.

Gloworm have their first light with an integrated battery which sits on their new Garmin style mount.  It pushed out 700 lumens, has the same interchangeable lenses seen on their other lights and can also double up as a battery pack charger.  Retail will be around £100.

Mavic’s new helmet design features a memory type foam as the padding.  This foam eradicates any pressure points to give an extremely well fitted and comfy fit while also absorbing vibrations.

This cross section explained in itself how well fitted the foam is.  Mavic name it Live Fit Technology.

The new CrossMax helmet, not a bad looking lid either.
