Deep down in our lair we are always coming up with new ways to strengthen our parts so riding bikes doesn’t have to be a pain and breaking parts can eventually become less frequent. The STRAIN FORK is our new hydro-formed completely one piece fork and will be available in the future, because its all one piece it really can take the strain of todays progressive riding. More details and specs to come but for now take a look at these snaps.

Before we released the CTRL, CMD, and ESC series of tires we took a long time to develop them and make sure the whole process of testing was complete before we unleashed them onto the market. We had some amazing feedback from what we had created and decided to work together with the team on a brand new tire. The Ridgestone comes in a slick and traction version, white walls and skins wall and we think its our greatest tire yet. Take a look at the photos below and let us know what you think?

Shane Westons ‘Moon’ grips are on the market as we speak and one of the rad places selling them is dans comp . Vital recently did a gear guide including grip specs, Shane’s input and a couple of riding clips from the man himself.

So it may come as surprise to some that we do custom wheel builds.

Go check out our wheel page and see what combinations we do.

Deep in the cold and dark depths of Cologne we have been busy developing and designing a handful of parts that go beyond convention. These days we feel it’s not so important to follow what others do but to really develop new and comfortable parts for riders that will eventually compliment their riding.

For some time now we have been working with Shane on what we like to call the moon grip. It’s quite obvious why the name cropped up. We found that a creator like grip with a comfortable deluxe compound feels amazing to hold and grip. This is the first product in the Shane Weston series, expect something really special in 2012.
