The cuts are great in the new year. We have been getting some really neat products popping through the door here at the office and I'm finding some sweet stuff on the selves of the local bike shops too! Here's a gander at this month's fresh meat:Dangerboy Magura Louise FR Replacement Levers

Colors:

-Red, Blue, Gold, Green and Black

Price:

-$79 CDN Retail

Dangerboy has been making replacement brake levers for pretty much all brands on the market for a few years now. Their newest offering is the Magura Louise FR replacement lever. It features the same lever length, but with the gripped, two finger feel that Dangerboy is best known for. Installation can be done at home, but if you're the type that probably shouldn't touch tools, then take 'em in to your local bike shop to get the job done right.

Dangerboy's whole line up of CNC'd parts can be viewed at DangerBoy.com

Mojo UK Boxxer Cartridge


Colors:

-Fancy Anodized Red Cap is all you'll see.

Price:

-$499 CDN-MSRP.

Founded in 1996, Mojo came onto the scene to provide better suspension options and upgrades to existing platforms. One fork they felt that could use their love was early release Boxxers. By replacing stock Boxxer internals with a Boxcart and one spring, you can reduce the weight by nearly 1/2 a pound. A really nice upgrade for the older Boxxers out there.

The Box Cart is an aftermarket tuning option that changes the whole ride characteristics of your existing Boxxer. The folks at Mojo also have hop ups for Marzocchi Shivers and the 888.

SDG I-SKY saddle

Colors:
-Camo, Black, Red and Grey

Price:
-$75 CDN-MSRP

Weight:
299 grams

I-Beam seats are all made from fiber composite material, with a single rail integrated into the base. I-Beam seats are generally lighter than comparable titanium railed seats, and can be clamped into a far greater range of positions. This means your seat is where YOU need it, allowing you to get more comfortable on the bike, and to ride more efficiently.

The I-SKY shares the same great shape as the Freestyle seat, but way lighter, and you'll never bend this rail! Gripper cover keeps your butt on the seat, and Ballistic rear corners resist abrasions. Aaron Chase and Eric Porter swear by this one. Dirt jump, DH, urban, whatever!

Log on to www.sdgusa.com to see all about their entire I-Beam line of products.
