Magura Thor 2010 long-term review
The 2010 Magura Thor suspension fork is an impressive performer and among the best in its 140mm travel class. The old Thor's were a bit under damped - very plush, but prone to blow through the initial travel quickly - so much so that I would have to run a fair amount of compression damping even in downhill mode. Now, the fork feels magnitudes of improvements better - ie butter smooth at the top stroke, but without being over damped and harsh; and progressive on the latter of the stroke, but without harsh bottom out. Adjustments are also quite refined; the rebound knobs for example have logical tunable changes. The Magura Thor is also pretty stiff for a light fork - part of that is due to the double arch, but I'd hazard a guess that some of the stiffness is attributable to the 20mm axle - which is a very nice touch for a 140 fork.

Forkskins - The protection you have been looking for!
Riding in France this Summer? Want to know who's fast? It's the British guy with the beat up forks, the ones that look like they have had a fight with a cheese grater and lost. £1,000 of once shiny metal that has certainly seen better days, well not any more ladies.

2010 Fox Shox - 32 Talas RLC and Float RP23 - Reviewed
Fox Racing Shox is a big name when it comes to any form of suspension damping. Fox has recently re-done their drop out system, their FIT Damper, and their overall fork design to not only lighten up the complete system, but make it stiffer, and more functional than before. As well we will look at the new addition of the Boost Valve technology to the Float RP23 shock series.

Manitou Dorado - Reviewed
Back in February of this year you may have caught our preview of the Manitou Dorado that we have had on test since that time. It's been a long time since we've caused such a stir on the website. With about 200 comments and too many reads to count, it easily garnered the most attention of any of the products to hit the front page in recent memory. But I guess that was sort of expected. I can't remember a single new product causing quite the crap storm of interest, but with carbon legs and a massive price tag it was bound to do that. And let's not forget that it is from Manitou, a name that many once swore by but that had fallen by the way side in more recent times. There are a few good questions to answer, mainly is the new Dorado really that good?
Read on to find out what we think about the latest wonder fork from Manitou.

2010 Boxxer - Initial Beat Down
So we got the new 2010 just over a month ago and the first thing we thought we needed to do was to test the S%&t out of them out. So we put a set of the World Cups in the hands of our top rider, Canadian National champ, Drew Mitchell. I figured, if anyone can push them to failure, it's this guy. Most people avoid large boulders on the trails, he seeks out the gnarliest lines possible, just to see if it can be done!
Here is what he has to say about the 2010 World Cup Boxxers. Two Videos inside - check out the Boxxer in ACTION!

S&M Pitchfork 26"
We’ve been getting quite a few requests for a 26” version of the S&M Pitchfork, so we went ahead and did a full production run of them. Right now it really is just a longer version of our BMX fork, so the dropouts are 3/8” only, and brake mounts are only available as a custom option.

Magura 2008 brakes and forks.
Just last week I was invited to enjoy the epic riding in Sedona, Arizona. The only thing better than leaving the wet spring weather behind was that the reason I was spending 3 days in such a beautiful place was to get some early rides in on the 2008 Magura brakes and forks.
