New downhill bikes from Cube, Santa Cruz, Intense, Deviate, Specialized and Giant to make their World Cup DH debut in Lenzerheide this weekend
. If anything, the cover is ever so slightly more revealing this time; we can see what looks to be a large main pivot positioned directly behind the chainring.
While Finn Isles’ iteration of this prototype bore a cloth to hide its linkage and shock area, Loic’s has this rather more robust-looking 3D printed shell. We infer that the two riders are running different shock types – coil versus air – and that one of these covers allows for more airflow, which is of course necessary for cooling purposes.
Over at the SRAM tech tent, we saw a bunch of forks waiting their turn for a service. There on the left is likely a new RockShox Boxxer, the stanchion size of which certainly seems to have grown from the 35mm rocked by the production fork. We have seen a number of race teams running the new downhill fork this weekend, including Trek Factory Racing.
