Rufus,

There is a picture of what looks like a stumpy evo with a monarch plus. Are those shock's coming as an option on that frame/bike? Any idea if they will be available aftermarket for the enduro's?

Thanks

We were told that they will not be an option as of right now. They will be potentially aftermarket.

I will get a better answer for you in the next few days.

I don't think that we got to KHS all week. Not sure why. I'll take a look.
Gad that you can live vicariously through us. :)

I wonder if it will be offered in 3C / Super Tacky and 2 ply? Or maybe this Tubeless Ready construction will be pretty tough?

Could be a game changer...
Tubeless Ready is a single-ply carcass with a tubeless bead. It should make for a perfect trail bike tire, but I seriously doubt it will hold up to DH.

excuse my ignorance, but would something like that work well with a DH tube? I would think you could get some pretty decent puncture resistance using a thick tube with a thin tire, vs. a thick tire and thin tube....especially if the bead is strong....but I don't know nothin bout no toobless.

Did anyone see any new trail helmets from Bell? Specifically, I'd like to see a Sequence or a Variant with better ventilation. The new Giro's don't fit me as well as the old ones (and they're stupidly expensive). I just had a good crash with my E2, and I think it's time to replace it. I have a old Variant, and it fits best of all the brands I've tried (Fox, Giro, Bell), but I'd like moar ventilation - like the E2 has.

You can run a heavy DH tube in a single-ply tire and you will still pinch flat like crazy on rox.

There are about 9 more pictures of Giro helmets before this horrid green one.
