Slopestyle superstar Andrew Taylor signs suspension deal with X-Fusion for the 2008 season. A.T. is the newest addition to the X-Fusion Factory Team. Andrew Taylor’s explosive riding always stands out in competition or at a casual jump session.He has a great personality and is a very approachable guy. X-Fusion is happy to have him aboard during key development of our company. We will use his insight and testing abilities to develop new and innovating suspension products. Andrew also comments, “With X-Fusion being new to the mountain bike scene, they have already made a great name for themselves. I’m excited to have their support as I head into the next season.

A.T. will be riding our Velvet R forks for his bikes along with our great line of 02 and H3 air shocks on all of his full suspension bikes. He also will be on some top secret stuff that we cant tell you about until much later, but if you pay attention to him throughout the season you might catch a sneak peak of what’s to come!

A.T. would like to thank his other sponsors for their support as well,
Versus Cycles, Spyder, Camelbak, Gravity, SDG, SKullcandy, Bell, and Shimano

 i won my x-fusion velvet R in a raffle, and it is one of the best forks i've ridden in a long time. it's only got rebound and air pressure adjustment, but i would take it over a f100 any day. it does have travel adjust, but you have to take the fork apart for that.

 I disagree, most of their stuff is crap and even their nice stuff is impossible to get tech support or parts for.

 lol willbikeforbeer. Have you ever even used one of their products. If so at what period. Since they are a newer company you cant expect top notch c/s at first. They are good to go now as they have grown into a full blown out suspension company.

Just the fact you said you cant find parts shows you don't know what you are talking about. Risse, white brothers are just about the same. You cant expect them to be like fox, zocchi, or rock shox. They are a smaller company just like the ones I mentioned. Normally with risse, wb, hanebrink, foes, avalanche, you gotta send your forks to them to be rebuilt, unless you happen to find a shop that is a dealer. O and btw their forks rank up there with the THE gism, and foes forks. Might want to stay in school.

 and versus is the shit. One of our local companies out here in nor cal. Well besides santa cruz, fox, specialized, risse, hanebrink, marin, gary fisher (well used to be.).

People that havent checked them out should. They make some dope frames and should be noticed more for it.

  • 0 0
 are you sure..is it made by anybody?
  • 0 0
 yup. People are just getting the impression these are bad because they arent a part of the notorious 4.

They make all their stuff in their factory. Why would rst be making high end components any ways. They stay to lower end & oem type stuff.

 ps winger you have it right. Xfusion rocks. Id love to sport a set of their adjustable dh forks, but unless they are given to me I doubt I will be getting a set any time soon. My shivers and 888's are good enuf for me.
