German brake giant Magura is building a good reputation for its suspension units - you don't see all that many of its forks around in the UK yet but they're pretty damn good. This is its latest rear shock, the Hugin. As is the current vogue, it's a platform-damped anti-bob unit. In common with Magura's other high-end suspension offerings, the Hugin has an adjuster for rebound damping and separate high and low-speed compression damping clickers, so you should be able to get it dialled in for whatever feel you like. It's air-sprung, with a large-volume air can for a linear rate. If Magura's other suspension stuff is anything to go by, it should be ultra-reliable too. No news on pricing yet - we expect that full details will be on www.magura.com shortly.

FSA is breathing new life into the ailing ISIS BB standard with this new Mega Exo design. It gets around the problem of limited space inside the BB shell resulting in small bearings by moving them outside in the style of the new crop of outboard-bearing integrated cranksets, but retaining ISIS compatibility - it'll work with "most ISIS cranks", it says here. Obviously the bearing units have to be pretty narrow, but they're large-diameter full-complement jobbers which should help. If you're struggling with ISIS BB life but have a substantial investment in cranks, one of these is probably well worth a go. Importers Windwave have them in stock now at £49.95 for the 290g cromo model or £79.95 for the 230g titanium one. Find a dealer at www.windwave.co.uk.
