Specialized

euro08-spesh-stump-lo

I think this may be my favourite of Specialized's new bikes: the Stumpjumper HT

euro08-spesh-stump2-lo

The FACT 10m carbon frameset will be right at home on the race track

euro08-spesh-stump3-lo

Weight is reportedly safely under the magic 1kg mark

euro08-spesh-sx-lo

Excuse me Mr Sinyard, what exactly is going on with the new SX?

euro08-spesh-sx2-lo

Darren Berrecloth's ride of choice is loaded with 170mm of travel front and rear - a 110mm slope style version is also available

euro08-spesh-sx3-lo

Curvy downtube and tapered head tube provides a solid front end

euro08-spesh-demo-lo

What words can be best used to describe the paint finish on this Demo? Answers on a postcard...

euro08-spesh-epic-lo

The Epic has been majorly redesigned and is much lighter, not to mention look far better too

euro08-spesh-shoe-lo

The new Pro MTB shoe - now lighter and with a lower profile carbon sole, and a revised M-Lock SL buckle

euro08-deviant-lo

Lots of new colours for the Deviant full-face lid

DT Swiss

euro08-dt-fork-lo

DT Swiss forks now available with 15mm through-axle option. This EXC pictured weighs 1.75kg with 150mm of travel

euro08-dt-hub-lo

And to slot into the fork is a 15mm version of the 240s hub

Ever wondered what a 240s rear hub would look like if you sliced it in half?

Intense Cycles

euro08-tracer-side-lo

The new Tracer VP from Intense Cycles uses a reconfigured VPP linkage

euro08-tracer-top-lo

Rounded box section top tube and massive stand over clearance

euro08-tracer-shock-lo

Two choices for mounting the shock

Bionicon

euro08-bionicon1-lo

Bionicon have received plenty of press for their B-Boxx and on-the-fly adjustable geometry full-suss bikes, but it should be noted that their more conventional stuff looks good too

euro08-bionicon2-lo

Such as this Scandium tubed Frequency hardtail

euro08-bionicon4-lo

The on-the-fly adjustable geometry Edison
