First Look: Dartmoor, BOX Components, Onza - Taipei Show 2014
Dartmoor Bikes

Dartmoor's Trail Ring, Roots grip, and petrol coated Micron stem are all new for 2014.
Dartmoor is entering the narrow wide chain ring market with their Trail Ring, which will initially be available for cranks with a 104 BCD in 32, 34, and 36 tooth versions. A 30 tooth version is also in the works. Constructed from 7075 aluminum and weighing in at 45.4 grams for the 34t version, the ring is expected to retail for $44.99 when it hits the market sometime in the next two months.
The new Roots lock-on grips are constructed from a soft rubber compound with an extra deep pattern on the underside, a design intended to provide extra traction in wet conditions. With an external diameter of 32mm, these grips are thicker than most lock-on offerings. MSRP: $29.99.
Dartmoor launched their petrol chrome plated Cody dirt jump frame last year at Eurobike, and now they've expanded the limited edition finish to their dirt jump stems and hubs. The aluminum Micron stem comes in a 30mm length and is only compatible with 25.4mm handlebars. MSRP: $79.99

BOX Components

BOX Components' new 35mm handlebar and Cusp stem.
BOX Components were exhibiting their uniquely shaped 35mm carbon handlebar that departs from the typical round profile most riders are accustomed to seeing. The portion on each side of the area clamped by the stem resembles a hexagon with a rounded bottom portion, and there is an additional protrusion on the top of the bar. BOX says this design isn't any stronger than a traditionally shaped bar - it's done purely for aesthetic purposes. The bars will be available in three different versions - a 700mm flat bar, a 760mm length with 15mm of rise, and a 780mm width with 30mm of rise. Weights are expected to range from 145 to 180 grams depending on the configuration. MSRP: $139 USD. To accompany their new handlebars, BOX also had a new stem for 35mm handlebars called the Cusp that will be available in 45, 55, and 65mm lengths, along with a direct mount stem for use with dual crown forks.

Onza Tires
![Onza 2014 Citius]()
Onza's new Citius tire.
Onza's new Citius (Latin for 'faster') tire is aimed at riders looking for an aggressive tread pattern designed to work well in a wide range of trail condition conditions. Previously only available in a DH version for 26" wheels, the Citius is now being produced in a 27.5 x 2.4" version with Onza's dual compound construction. The tubeless ready Citius' claimed weight is 955 grams, and although final pricing hasn't been confirmed, it is expected to retail for somewhere between $75-$85 USD. Both a skin wall and traditional version will be offered.

The Greina (left) and Ibex.
Onza's Greina tire is the company's wet weather specialist, with widely spaced knobs designed to dig in and grip in the nastiest conditions around. 26 x 2.25" and 26 x 2.4" versions are offered, with weights ranging from 730 to 1050 grams. We were pleasantly surprised by the performance of Onza's Ibex tires when we first encountered them on our Mondraker Dune test bike, and for 2014 the number of size options is expanding, with a 27.5 x 2.25" version and a 29 x 2.25" version joining the 27.5 x 2.4" version.

Hornet ma zostać HT-tanim sztywniakiem
No i wrócił srebrny metalik czyli jeden z najładniejszych kolorów
Full ma mieć geo Horneta tyle, że z miejscem na damper powietrznny 222/63 ze zbiornikiem wyrównawczym oraz fajnym systemem zawieszenia. Gdyby był 4 zawias to byłoby wypaśnie, ale dobrze wystrojony 1-zawias z elementem pośrednim też będzie bardzo fajny.
W kwestii ceny Horneta FS byłoby cudownie gdyby była równie fajna jak ta za sztywny model.
Naprawdę mam nadzieję, że W KOŃCU się doczekam na tę ramę...
co do horneta fs musi mieć dobra cenę max 2,5kzł
-"222/63 "chyba 216x63 popularny rozmiar i większa dostępność.
