AG2R’s stage win in Tour of California


“On Friday we had Aberystwyth and WON the team on the night. I got 3rd place on the night and Chris Opie got 2nd. Sadly I was forced to ride the last 6 laps on the front to ensure our 4 man break stayed away with 2 uk youth in it and Opie was supposed to be our best chance of an individual win on the night. Despite this I still had the legs to stay with them in the sprint and came around Tobyn Horton (Raleigh GAC) from the last corner to roll 3rd place.

The whole team were using RZR again.

This means we have closed on Endura and extended our 2nd place.”

MBUK: X-Fusion’s new air offering


For a long time, X-Fusion have been the purveyors of budget yet respectable suspension units. Now though, after an intense couple of years of top rider recruitment – including the likes of Brian Lopes and Tyler McCaul – they’re starting to release top-end bits of kit, such as the Vector rear shock.

However, the really big news is the arrival of the new Vector Air HLR – the brand’s first DH-ready air-can. The meaty 31.5mm damper-bodied shock tips the scales at just 487g, which is pretty damn impressive for a full-on DH shock.
 
Aside from the easy air spring adjustment you can also fiddle with the reservoir, rebound, high and low-speed compression, and bottom-out. With more and more of the big names on the World Cup circuit turning to large-volume aircans, the new Vector Air HLR is one of the few air-specific downhill shocks available to the masses.
 
X-Fusion also offer their mor ‘traditional’ coil shock as well, the Vector HLR. It uses their CVS system, designed to separate rebound from compression circuits to ensure a better consistency of feel.
