Marin
Marin was turning heads with the new CXR Team SLX
The dramatic looking frame is made from high modulus uni-directional carbon
Double wishbone seat stays blend seamlessly into the top tube
Cables are routed internally and sprout out just before the bottom bracket shell
The CXR is designed for racing and is built around a 100mm travel fork
Marin’s Mount Vision 5.9. Aluminium frame is so finished it looks like a carbon jobbie from not that far away
Truvativ’s HammerSchmidt was launched last year and plenty of manufacturers, Marin included, now sport an equipped model in their range
Lapierre
Lapierre’s 160mm travel Spicy 216 is outstandingly good-looking from all angles. Including this one
Lapierre’s Forggy squeezes 180mm of travel out of the same suspension platform as the shorter travel bikes
The Spicy 516 is my pick of the range. Check that paintjob
The new Pro Race 900 gets the full carbon treatment
The Spicy 516 is my pick of the range. Check that paintjob
Surly
And finally, do you have a large load that needs lugging? Surly’s Big Dummy is just the job
