Yo estoy de acuerdo con el comentario de unos de los compañeros, Trek hace unas bicis muy sobrias, bastan sosas esteticamente, con esta nueva se adivinan nuevas formas mas alegres.
estan mucho mas guapas que las actuales. segun he visto la primera me ha encantado pero cuando he visto la segunda... yo creo que es un pooc novedad porque trek generalmente solo usa el rojo, el negro y el aluminio pulido ese, aunque en algunos modelos usa el azul oscuro, generalemente son para mi gusto colores demasiado oscuros. pero en la nueva EX9 el blanco combinado con el negro le da un toque espectacular
Ya lo puse en mi post pero parece que en "bicis y componentes" la gente no le hizo mucho caso En mtbr hay un link a ridemonkey.com donde discuten el nuevo sistema y parece que el propio Dave W les responde ¿? http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=70 "Wow, damn, let the speculation begin! Those of you with kind words, thanks for the support, I truly appreciate it. Haters, well, its a tough life I guess. So bottom line with this system, it is a single pivot for acceleration purposes, a multi pivot for braking purposes. In reallity, performance wise it can exactly duplicate what most FSR bikes have done. With a little knowledge (i.e. pivot placement) I think that it can outshine many of the FSR bikes that have been built. The raw idea is that I use a single pivot location that offers some real benefits for acceleration purposes, but without a floating brake this pivot location that works so well for acceleration would have some real drawbacks under braking. This is where the Split Pivot (the concentric dropout pivot) comes in. The seatstay link and assembly acts as a floating brake arm, exactly like FSR does. Nothing new there at all. The pivot location around the axle is the novelty and why I had to apply for patents etc... Is this bike going to be better than a dw-link bike? Sadly, no. Is it going to ride better than a single pivot or other linkage bikes? I believe completely that it has the ability to. No matter what, Split Pivot can be used to build a pretty light bike with good performace characteristics. There is nothing wrong with that in my book. Dave" This was a very important factor in developing this design. Split Pivot is not intended to replace or compete with dw-link, just complement it. how can a "linkage actuated split pivot" design, as shown, be lighter and less expensive than a comparable dw*link design? Manufacturing tolerances. A dw-link needs to be held to tight tolerances to perform as designed. This usually menas CNC machining the entire weldment after heat treat, or pretty careful fixturing and alignment. 1mm is a huge number in dw-link world. A Split Pivot could be welded by a monkey and still probably work out allright. 1mm is practically inconsequential with Split-Pivot. I don't think that Split Pivot could be lighter than dw-link in an ideal world. dw-link is structurally pretty hard to beat."
bufff preciosa la negra y roja.este año se han puesto las pilas en el tema colores ya tocaba despues de unos años de grises un saludote
Lo que hacen los de Trek es crear un sistema de suspension con nombre propio, ABT le han puesto (el marketing y sus siglas!), y asi pueden estar al nivel de las demás marcas : Spe con el FSR, Giant con el Maestro, Santa Cruz con el Vpp, etc, etc. Lo que hace falta comprobar es si funciona mejor que el del 2007. Os dejo un link de un blog en el que escribe sobre la presentacion de las Trek y Gary Fisher 2008: http://www.dirtragmag.com/blogarific/2008-trek-fuel-ex-sneak-peek/
Hola. Quisiera saber si me podiais poner mas fotos de las nuevas fuel ex. Si podeis, de todos los modelos. Un saludo. Chuparueda.
