Amongst the huge halls of Eurobike, there was plenty of new bikes and kit. Here's a few bikes that caught our attention.
Rocky Mountain
Some real nice paintjobs. The range consists of Element, Vertex and the Slayer SXC, pictured below. The Slayer gets carbon seatstays for reduced weight. 153mm of rear travel with 160mm from the Marzocchi All Mountain 1 fork. The Element - 100mm rear travel - also gets carbon seatstays.
Specialized
Specialized can't be accused of lagging behind in offering women riders a complete solution. Their bikes look great.
Santa Cruz
No major changes to the line-up, but the Juliana (like it's big bro the Superlight) gets a re-jigged swingarm. It's now lighter, and offers more mud clearance.
Kona
We fancy this roadbike. Full carbon, and available as frame only or fully built, we want one.
Look
Look had an impressive range of bikes. The recently launched 595 gets this rather fetching paint job (not sure if everyone will agree though).
Fusion
A couple of new paintjobs to their existing range. The Strangler is the companys 115mm travel bike.
Endorfin
Yes you can probably imagine there was a lot of pink on display, but the VP-4 from Endorfin took the 'Pinkest Bike' award for us. Lovely.
