Eurobike 2009: GT, Cannondale, Orange and Nicolai

GT’s new Sensor provides 130mm of travel and replaces the 100mm aluminium Marathon (the carbon Marathion continues)

The 100mm carbon Marathon remains unchanged for 2010

Zaskar looking resplendent in white. Now available with 29in wheels

Crazy looking carbon GT Fury

Hydroformed loveliness on this lower end Felt hardtail

Cannondale’s sleek looking Rize140 in the flesh

Rocker linkage has been on a severe diet – there isn’t much metal there

A smooth carbon frame sports a Lefty fork on this top of the range model

The newly released Flash hardtail was hard to get at, such were the huge crowds around the 950g frame

This is Roel Paulissen’s World Championship winning Scalpel Carbon

Say hello to the new Orange R8. It’s a classic steel (Reynolds 853) hardtail that should be available in shops later this year

Prototype linkage Orange 224

Nifty anodised rims on the Five

A new paintjob for the venerable 224

New Crush for 2010 is made lighter as the MIII has been reintroduced

Orange have majorly updated the P7, it’s now made from Reynolds 631 and features several strengthing gussets and sliding dropouts

This proto 224 had a ton of datalogging cables sprouting out of the front of the bars

The Rocky Mountain Altitude delivers 140mm of travel with a frame weight of 5.5lbs for the carbon version (6.5lb forthe aluminium model pictured) and uses an updated version of the long-running ETS (Energy Transfer System)

New Focus Raven uses an all-carbon frame with concealed cable routing. Other colour tyres are available…

A Rotwild…

Nicolai never fail to turn out good looking bikes. Even when painted yellow!

Nicolai are known for pushing the technological boundaries, and this year were showing several bikes equipped with the Gates Carbon Drive setup
