Trek’s new Session 88 unveiled at Sea Otter
Trek has finally launched the Session 88 in two sweet variations: the freeride oriented Session 88 FR and the downhill race-ready Session 88 DH. Some clever suspension design should make this new long-travel rig a real contender.

Shimano has got around to a full refresh of the Saint line for 2009. Weight is down, and both stiffness and strength are up. The badass new look doesn’t hurt matters either.

Gatorbrake’s eight piston disc brake
Are your measly Magura Gustav or Hope M4 brakes, with their four hopelessly inadequate pistons just not living up to your expectations? Gatorbrake hopes so, and thinks that their biggest model, with double the pistons (and therefore double the awesome) of other downhill brakes will satisfy your need for motorcycle-level stopping power.
The apparently unnamed eight-pot brake has a CNC […]

e.13 has posted a press release today hyping their introduction of odd-sized guide rings. These rings (not surprisingly) are available in odd sizes, and you can take your pick of 33, 35, 37, and 39 teeth (compared to the more common ‘even-sized’ rings at 34, 36, 38, and 40 teeth). No doubt that these rings will uphold the […]
