When I'm testing individual downhill components, I use this steed. Fast Frame Facts: Weighs 8.6 pounds without shock // Tuned virtual pivot design // All CNC'd parts are forged first for optimal strength to weight ratio // Hand-welded hydroformed 7005 butted aluminum tubes // Titanium pivot hardware // 1.5-inch headtube // 12x150mm rear end // 63.8-degree head angle

These ENVE wheels are indestructible. 'Nuff said.

Easton went huge with the Havoc35 bars. Literally. They measure a whopping 35mm at the bar clamp.

Cane Creek says weight wasn't a goal when they came up with this shock, but it sure lightened things up a fair amount. On top of that, it feels very much like a coil shock for most of its stroke. Win win.

It'd be a shame to mount that Enve carbon goodness to anything but the best.

It's about time the Sensus got their act together and made a lock on version of their grip! They're similar to ODI Long Necks which I've grown to love over the years.
