Moab ‘08 Porcupine Rim

April 27, 2008

One of Moab’s premier rides - “Porky” has it all. We shuttled 10 miles from town up the Sand Flats road to the trail head and started the 3 mile granny gear climb up the broken slickrock. From there it is an unforgettable 11 miles and 2,800 ft rip roaring descent - the last 3 miles are on an amazing singletrack cut into a cliff over the Colorado River. The last 6 miles on pavement was a dhReno first - an organized pace line riding flat out back into town.

2007 SRAM Components Rock!

October 7, 2006

Rockshox TotemThe new Rockshox Totem fork, that we pounded at the Interbike Outdoor Demo, was definately the fork that generated the most buzz with dhReno riders.  The Totem is an awesome 180mm travel, 40mm stanchions, single crown fork that is available in either air, coil or 2 step with a 1 1/8″ or 1.5″ steer tube. This fork is better than most of the downhill forks from a couple of years ago and it comes in at around 6 lbs!

The Boxxer WC is another fork that continues to impress and is probably the best DH fork currently available.

The Code Brakes are hot and our riders are very interested in them - I’m sure that they’ll be showing up on local dh and fr bikes soon!

Here are some great photos and commentary (from this year’s SRAM preview in Moab) on the new components:
