Extra
INTENSE HAS fully committed to the 29er market, producing a stunning carbon bike from the word go – the brand’s first hard tail 29er. Designed for the cross country rider that appreciates quality, the Hard Eddie is super light, weighing in at a tad over 1kg, or 2lb 7oz, and it has the ride quality that Intense’ Carbon Fiber is so well known for. Hard Eddie comes with 135mm, 142mm and single speed dropout options. Sticking to the successful
formula used in the creation of the popular Carbine and Carbine SL, the manufacturer used the design skills of Jeff Steber, and the engineering skills of SEED Engineering to create the frame. The frame is to be available in two
colours, a shade dubbed ‘Naked red’, and just plain Naked. Intense offers a matching rigid 100mm carbon fork too. The angles that define the ride are 70 degree for the head tube and 72-degree seat angle. The PF30 and integrated headset offers a great platform for a light rigid frame. 01933 672 170
Chicken Cyclekit
WHILE NOT a supplier of complete mountain bikes, Chicken Cyclekit has a number of brands producing some top kit for the market, from Vittoria sister company Geax and its high TPI off- road tyres, through Selle Italia’s MTB saddles and KMC chains. Suppliers of saddles since 1897, the Italian saddle giant Selle Italia is renowned for its light-weight saddles, the SLR XC is no exception. Weighing in at 170-grams the SLR XC range has
been specifically designed to suit off- road use, the Lorica cover is anti- abrasion and water resistant, with Kevlar corners to help further protect it from scuffs. The 30 per cent carbon composite shell and Vanox rails help to make a very strong XC saddle that won’t weigh a bike down. The KMC Vivid range of chains
covers both nine and ten-speed set ups (including all 10X MTB) in black, blue and red. The outer plates are finished in highly polished nickel and the inner plates and pins are coloured with an extremely durable Nano Polish colour coating.

Tiger Cycles
TIGER CYCLES has launched a new Alloy framed version of its popular Incline MTB range, featuring square to round profile 6061 tubing, together with 21-speed EF51 Shimano gears and loads of other features all for a retail of £199. This price point bridges the gap between the entry- level Steel Incline range, which is fully Shimano-equipped at £119, or specced with front Suspension at £129. At the higher-end of Tiger’s catalogue you’ll find
the label’s Atom Explorer mountain bikes with retail prices from £299 to £599. On the spare parts front, Tiger
launched a range of basic parts and accessories in July last year and it has been such a great success that they have now doubled the number of stock lines to offer more top quality components and accessories, offering some of the lowest retail prices on the market. Full details are available from Tiger
Cycles Europe, contactable on 01683 220837.
Bionicon
MANY WILL be familiar with Bionicon either through January’s Core Bike show, or via its
C.Guide, a Eurobike award-winning chain retention system. Highly flexible, the system uses a
series of hinges and pivot points to allow the chain all the freedom it would otherwise enjoy to move, yet all the while enclosed in a low-friction housing designed to ensure the chain does not derail.
It is universal in its fitting too, using zip ties on the chain stay to remain in place and with a two piece design meaning you’ll not need to break the chain to install. At 19 grams, it’s light too and compatible with both dual and triple chainring set ups. The unit retails for £35, comes in six
colours and is available from Bionicon direct, who are contactable on 07966 102963
