Revisions for the production model consisted of a new headtube, larger diameter downtube, beefed up headtube section and lots of new machining to the backsides of the linkages and rear triangle. The Hammer-Link is the epicenter of our suspension technology providing 100mm of extremely versatile travel. After months of successful testing, it has undergone some additional machining to reduce weight in non-structural areas.
One of the more important revisions has come from X-Fusion in the form of a custom tuned version of the 2010 02 RCX shock which has performed exceptionally well during testing. Expect to see and hear more about this soon.
