More Hipstamatic manicness, this time from Orange Bikes. We spent the day being shown around the two plants they operate out of. Firstly, the assembly plant, then in the afternoon the loud grimey industrial plant where they cut, stamp, bend, mitre, weld, and heat treat the frames. There were lots of page three boobs hanging around on the walls so I had to heavily edit the photos for Spoke consumption. Here are just a few of the PG ones.
Sram/RockShox – May 27th, 2022
Our new suspension started from a blank sheet of paper. We set everything aside and started with one question: how can we continue to elevate every ride? The result is a revolutionary system designed
to deliver unprecedented control, muscle, and performance. New chassis designed with industry-first damper technology, reinvented air springs, a host of new technologies to mute trail chatter and win the fight against friction. Suspension that has the confidence to meet the demands of riders today and empower them to take the sport somewhere new tomorrow.
It’s been five years since Crankworx added a new stop to its World Tour (Innsbruck joined the party in 2017). Today, a new fourth stop was unveiled. Starting in 2022, the ultimate experience in mountain biking will have a new home in Cairns, Australia.
