Ben and Matt have just come down from the Swiss mountain hut where they've been staying courtesy of DT Swiss and have finally found an internet connection to show us some pics of DT Swiss' new (Pace-but-not-Pace) range of forks. They've got other stuff about rear shocks and wheelsets but they're keeping us in suspenders about that for a day or so...

Let's begin with an "explanation" of the letter-based naming system:-
R = Road
RR = Road Race
RRC = Road Race carbon
X = X-Country
XR = X-Country Race
XRC = X-Country Race Carbon
XM = X-Mountain
XMC = X-Mountain Carbon
E = Enduro
EX = Enduro X-Cross
EXC = Enduro X-Cross Carbon
FR = Freeride
Well, glad that's cleared up all the potential confusion there then(!) Most of us UK folk will recognise most of these forks under their previous guise as Pace forks (apart from the two new 29er forks). The design of the forks will not change from those of the Pace era but the manufacturing, sourcing and assembly of the forks' bits will change completely. The guys at DT were full of praise for Adrian Carter (chief of Pace) and his design ideas and "solutions" - they were particularly effusive about the lower legs of Pace forks and how stiff and light they were. So basically, the design of the forks will stay the same but the stuff they're made from and who puts them together will be changed. Oh, and they will have all new decals obviously (with not even the smallest mention of Pace anywhere on them from what we could see).

algo mas..

writing today from Champery, Switzerland, where I'm checking out the latest offerings from DT Swiss. After an impressive tour of DT's factories in Biel on Wednesday, we drove to Les Crosets where we viewed a presentation on the future of DT, followed by a ride to sample the goods and get out in the wonderful mountains of the Swiss Alps. The riding was gnarly; these Swiss like to go down. Hill. Steep.

The big news is in forks, as DT showed of their new line. DT has gotten a head start in the fork market with their purchase of the fork division of Pace Cycles Limited of the UK. There hasn't been a lot of time to make changes, so the line stands pretty unchanged from the Pace line. But this stuff is all new to me, so let's take a look.

From fully rigid to 150mm, there's something for everyone. The Rigid fork come in 26" and 29" versions, with the 26" version weighing around 1.75 lbs. and the 26" version coming in at 1.6! That can put your bike on a real weight loss program. And it's notable that the 29er version can also be used to replace a suspension fork on a 26" bike.

DT Swiss' EXC suspension forks come in travel options between 80 and 150mm, offer a cool type of lockout called Launch Control.The suspension forks, with travel between 80 and 150mm, offer a pretty cool type of lockout I got to play around with, called Launch Control. When you go to climb a hill, you push down the Launch Control knob and the fork drops an inch or two into a locked out position, pushing you forward and into a little steeper head angle for better climbing. The extra cool thing is that when you crest the top of the hill and start down, the first bump you hit releases the Launch Control and you resume full travel. I really like that I don't have to remember, I'm usually delirious by the time I get to the top of a long climb, and find myself halfway down the other side wondering why my fork's not working. This line of forks is also known to be some of the lightest on the market. The carbon legs see to this.

I also dug the skewers. You tighten them by spinning the handle until the wheel is tight, then the handle can be pulled and spun freely into the proper riding position.

Now the heart of the DT program is wheels. DT is expanding its line to offer some lower price points, as well as addressing the 29-inch movement taking place in the states. I won't explain the whole line here, but the number of letters in the name indicates the level. Like an X wheel would be the lowest price point, an XR the middle, and XRC the top. The numbers that go with the letters indicate the weight. Like the XR1450 wheelset weighs 1450g.
I've always been impressed with DT's wheels, but the tour of the factory drove the point home. I got to watch raw extrusions become perfectly round rims, raw wire become double-butted spokes, and the whole process coming together in one place.

Tienen muy buena pinta, la que más me interesa es la de 150, pesa 500gr!! menos que mi marzocchi sl, lo que no me gusta: el eje de 20 no es rápido y no se que tal se llevarán las botellas de carbono con los típicos golpes de enduro.

Lo bueno es que, si se fabrican en masa y se promocionan mucho, como pienso que va a hacer DT. Habrán cositas de estas en ebay, y se harán sublastas, y blablabla :mrgreen: y el precio será algo sujetivo.

Un saludo.

Pues que la horquilla tope de gama no puede ser más barata que los bujes tope de gama. Por ejemplo... Vamos, me llevaría una sorpresa muy grande si no subiesen los precios. Además, dt siempre va a la suya...

Pero vaya, yo me doy por satisfecho con que aumenten la producción, dejen de ser exclusivas y sean OEM, en ebay se podran ver cosas guapas entonces.

Un saludo.
