This shredumentary follows a group of X-Fusion sponsored riders/employees as they pack up their gear and head south for a week of nonstop riding in Southern California. Their mission was to put the entire X-Fusion line to the test and have a damn good time doing it. Starting off the week in Fontana at Southern California’s premier regional race series the X-Fusion crew handled some wet weather before Xploiting the rest of the week’s So Cal sun. Racing, shredding endless single track, sun sets, snowy jumps, big whips, epic XC, high speed dh, and good times is what this video...

JMH Added a new video JD's Urban DH Race Experience in Colombia

6/26/2014 5:01pm
In January I had the opportunity to participate in the Chiguiro Extremo Urbano DH event through the streets of Manizales. Coming off an injury plagued 2011 season, I was excited to find myself in the mountains of Colombia healthy again. The event was very well organized, it had everything we needed for an urban downhill to be interesting.
After my urban DH race in Colombia, I packed up and headed to Quito, Ecuador for my next DH event. Upon arrival I was greeted by Jose "Cuervo", in the early evening, he picked me up in his flat bed and we headed into town for some dinner.

Review by Jeff Brines // Photos by Patrick Nelson RockShox has reintroduced the Pike for the 2013 season, and they've aimed it squarely at the Enduro and trail market. Like the kinda-sorta-cute girl who moved away in the 6th grade, she’s back for senior year, fully grown up and turning every head in class. The fork appears to offer an unprecedented blend of feather-like weight, stiffness and trail eating performance. But how did it stack up in real world testing? After several months of riding, here are the results... Pike RCT3 Highlights Travel options: 26 or 27.5-inch 150mm or 160mm...

JMH Added a comment about photo Inverted X-Fusion Revel HLR Fork

Will-burr/Dave_Camp On top of the change being so minimal that not even the highest level pro would feel it, the other issue to dissolve the theory of this messing with your handling is that the forces a traditional fork takes while under breaking or the forces from the trail would cause the fork to flex back or twist torsionally more dramatically than a % of the USD offset being built into the crown. Having the unpredictable flex of a traditional fork will cause many more steering issues that putting some offset in the crown/steerer. On top of that, the performance...

@david_camp The main advantage of this, which is not mentioned above is that the fork sits at a more natural angle to take impacts from the terrain of the trail. Less force is driven into the chassis and more of the force is driven into the spring and damping. One major factor that comes into play with the Revel's chassis design is under heavy breaking and square edge hits the chassis is not flexing or bowing backwards even close to as much as a traditional style fork. You are correct that the wheel is slightly more rearward at bottom out...
