Transition Carbon Covert Surf Sales: 01303 850553
THE 2013 carbon Covert is Transition’s first full- suspension carbon frame, designed and built from the ground up and inspired by Italian super cars. The Covert is the first bike on the market to offer
what Transition call “C.O.C.K. and B.A.L.L.S” technology (the wags). The ‘Completely Optimized Carbon Kinetics’ utilized in production of the carbon structure are an industry first; only available on Transition Bikes. The ‘Basically Aligned Linear Leverage System’ suspension works with the shock making the suspension incredibly easy to tune; once again, only available on Transition Bikes. Working in conjunction with the B.A.L.L.S. suspension system, the 2013 Carbon Covert features a longer 8.5” x 2.5” custom tuned Fox CTD Adjust rear shock. The longer shock helps contribute to improved suspension performance and easier shock setup for riders of any size. The rear travel has been increased from 150mm to 160mm further expanding the performance. For riders looking for ultimate downhill performance, an optional Fox RC4 coil shock is available. The B.A.L.L.S. suspension system uses a higher main pivot placement for improved pedaling performance with modern 2x10 and 1x10 drivetrain setups.
Elite 29 and AMS 100 SHPC Cube: 01905 798692
BIKE MANUFACTURING giant Cube has revealed two off-road rigs that it's particularly excited about in the 2013 line up. These are the Elite Super HPC 29 with optimised carbon construction and AMS 100 HPC Super 29 – both based around Cube's Agile Ride Geometry. The bottom bracket height on these 29ers sits at the same level as 26-inch counterparts, providing a more planted ride. The special (patent pending) positioning of the front derailleur delivers performance advantages and gives more tyre clearance. Also this offers the possibility to shorten the chainstays for quicker handling. The derailleur mount position also means that the seat tube doesn't need to be bent or offset from the bottom bracket shell, so every frame size shows the identical seat angle. Ideal for marathon races, the AMS 100 HPC weighs in at less than 10 kg, much thanks to all bearing seats and the linkage plates being made of full carbon.

BBB minitools Windwave: 02392 505320
HAVING PERFORMED well in magazine tests worldwide, BBB’s minitool line is now available to bike dealers. The MicroFold XXL, which scored ‘best in test’ in a What Mountain Bike magazine analysis, is a rubber coated aluminium unit that’s both comfortable to use even under leverage and houses 20 tools. Hex keys from 2mm to 8mm are carried, among other common Torx and t25 wrenches. You’ll also find a chain tool, tyre levers, spoke wrenches and much more – incredible value for a sub £20 multitool. BBB also has a smaller unit dubbed the MaxiFold
L, again sporting an aluminium case. 14 functions nearly cover all small repairs likely to occur during rides. A dual sided hex key bolt prevents the tool from separating when being used.
Rock Shox Reverb updates Fisher Outdoors: 01727 798345
ROCK SHOX’S popular on-the-fly adjustable seat post the Reverb is now available in a new 34.9mm diameter, as well as a Stealth 150mm travel model. Further to these two additions, there are now accessories to fine-tune your Reverb. The latter of the two routes the hose internally
through the frame by featuring a hose exit point from the bottom of the post. The Reverb remote can be mounted on the handlebar as a stand-alone piece using the MatchMaker X (MMX) spacer or in line with SRAM shifters and Avid brakes by removing the spacer. To fine-tune your post, the Enduro Collar is a simple bolt-on accessory that provides an adjustable bottom-out point, allowing users to tune in as much, or as little, travel as they want – compatible with all Reverb models.
