•New Extra Small Size


woopwoop perfect for Lewis I hope but I'm not looking forward to the price

Pretty good price at that NZ website converte that to GBP wich is about £2500. Includes also the latest and greatest from FOX. Sentinel equal price.

2018 Patrol...... Big Grin

2018 Patrol
2018 Patrol

2018 Transition Round up:

•New GiddyUp Kinematics

•Increased Travel from Previous Patrol

•Speed Balanced Geometry

•Boost Dropout Spacing

•Metric Shock Sizing

•Integrated Rubber Downtube & Chainstay Protection

•Universal Transition Replaceable Derailleur Hanger

•Full Water Bottle Storage

•Increased Seatpost Insertion

•Updated Internal Cable Routing

•External Brake Routing

•New Extra Small Size

•Clearance up to 27.5” x 2.8”

Grey one looks mint! Been running a reduced offset 40 on the TR500 for a few months (using a 26 fox 40 lower) and it feels great. All makes sense, there are a few articles by Chris Porter on it. Bet it feels great!

It may be the cheapest way of having a Fox 36.

But i'm skeptical about the increased travel...

yeah the mattoc with the IRT works really well. I've yet to play with the compression settings yet though.

So what has happened here is that TR have Poo Pooed their own launch party by giving the info to their dealers so early! lol

It's like giving a child a bag of sweets and telling them that they can't eat them! you just don't do it lol

This happens with every brand almost!

Distributors have access to the new bikes way earlier than the users.

The distributors just have to keep smart and don't put them on their website for preorder.
