shimano XTR 07 ... not just for the weight weenies

The most impressive feature of the XTR group is its universality. Shifting can be with Dual-Control or Rapid Fire Plus pod shifter, rotors are available in Centerloc or 6-bolt universal mounting, rear derailleurs come with rapid-rise or traditional function, the XTR crankset adopts current XT-style chainring set-up and the new XTR pedals are cross compatible with the rest of Shimano’s off-road pedal line. Offering six-bolt disc rotors means a rider can use Shimano’s discs on any bike with any wheelset they choose.

suspension forks

Everyone loves the front end ... forks are just so damn cool! Suspend your front end with forks by Fox, RockShox, Marzocchi and Manitou.

Fox Racing 40RC2

Fox designed the new DownHill Fork, the 40, to be the lightest and strongest downhill fork made. The oversized 40mm stanchions and huge lower legs give the 40 unparalleled stiffness for incredible steering precision and low stiction performance.

The Internal Travel Spacer System provides adjustability from 8 to 6 inches in half-inch increments, letting the rider adjust the travel to the terrain requirements.

drivetrain accessories

Derailleurs, chains and cranksets from Shimano, Sram, and RaceFace.

the saint component group ... by shimano

Presenting Saint, components that define super heavy duty. Parts with unprecedented strength, designed to thrive in abusive, extreme conditions where a soft landing hits with the subtlety of a 10-pound sledge. Saint is the new standard for strength and rigidity, the ultimate benchmark for durability under extreme use.

Every Saint component was designed to perform under the worst conditions, not just survive it. Prototypes engineered for rugged dependability were deployed in the field, a world where cased landings are an everyday thing; where cranks, derailleurs and chainrings take rock strikes like jackhammer blows. Then the designs were refined, and sent out again. And again. Until they emerged, shaped by the environment itself to provide durability where nothing else can.

Race Face Diabolus Crank

The Diabolus crank - simply the stiffest, strongest freeride cranks out there. Race Face has taken the same design philosophy that created the award winning Diabolus stem and applied it to these cranks. The result: a high performance freeride/dh specific crankset that's not a boat anchor. If you're looking to go hard and fast, look no further than the Diabolus.
The new standard for freeride cranks, set by the original freeride crank designer.

brakes

Yeah baby ... its fun to rip that primo line! But you have to stop sometime ... or at least slow down a little bit. We carry the complete lines of Shimano, Hayes, Hope and Avid brakes.

wheelsets

Keep on rollin' with rims by Mavic and hubs by Shimano.

Mavic EX 729 Disc

A top of the line Extreme MTB rim for disc brakes only.
No doubt the strongest rim you will ever ride. You can run directly into objects and case flat landings & the rim eats it up. The spoke holes have bombproof eyelets & less important, the rims look hot as hell. Build up some mavic 729's if you want unsurpassed strength for the heart of your bike.

A great choice for freeriding and urban riding ... and burly trail riding too!

SRAM Rocket shifter

Designed to shift you past the toughest competition.
SRAM compatible shifters are for riders who are as demanding on their shifters as they are on themselves. The SRAM Rocket® is equipped with SRS® technology for light indexing and a competition-level gear indicator.

Materials:: Alloy body with composite lower cover, Stainless steel hardware
Compatibility:: Shimano rear derailleurs, SRAM or Shimano front derailleurs

XTR front derailleur

Both cosmetically and mechanically, the new XTR front derailleur has been re-designed completely. The XTR front derailleur has a new frame clamp design that can be adapted to fit a wide range of tube diameters. The X-profiled outer link is wider and reportedly stiffer, and the casting can be adapted to a top- or bottom-pull cable arrangement.


Shimano Saint Brakes

Commitment without restraint is a dangerous path. Your will to say “yes” is only as strong as your ability to say “no.”
Saint is the last word in stopping power. Opposed hydraulic dual pistons put the squeeze on high-speed pursuits, but with light, finely modulated dexterity for precise, technical route-picking. Because you can never have enough power. Or control ... on the edge.



Intense DH EX

New for 2005 is the EX line. Created specifically for light downhill and freeride applications, all tires in the EX line are constructed using a new 36 tpi 2-ply EX casing and a re-formulated Comp 60 compound. When a full blown FRO tire is too much and a Cross-Country tire is not quite enough the EX line will handle anything in between.
