Who hasn´t experienced it: the handlebar/stem seems to be aligned correctly. Than you mount on your bike and the imprecision gets obviosly. There might be several attempts needed and no raised eyebrows of the customer desired.

This May, Fox invited us to the South Tyrol, for an exclusive test of the brand-new 36 fork. First Pictures and specifications of the fork have been around for a while now, yet actual ride reports on the new flagship fork from the Californian suspension specialists were rare? We had the opportunity to compare the new 36 fork back-to-back with the Fox 34. In this first part, we dive into the features – expect a review later this evening!

Our first impressions and the feature set of the new 1099 Euro suspension fork were convincing but can the the performance satisfy the expectations? We went downhill hunting in the South Tyrol and used the fork on numerous rides on our Stuttgart home trails and on trips to the Bavarian Alps to see what it can really do.

One hour from Nice in southern France, where good weather and great trails are guaranteed, we tested the new Mavic Crossmax XL WTS (Wheel Tire System) on a two-day adventure. EWS champion Jerome Clementz guided us over several trails from the Trans-Provence and gave us the chance to give the Crossmax XL a hard time.

You all know the drill: summer is here, and ain’t nobody got time to mess around. The only things that matters are riding, eating, sleeping, repeating.
