Solid rebar handlebars.
Oh good, Kashima Turbine cranks for $500.I think, we can rather expect RF and Easton carbon fiber technology implemented into Fox products
UsD carbon fork?!
Different Fox.I guess the same could be said of Race Face and Fox's soft goods as well.
Can't wait!soon ... taichung fox 40s with easton carbonz 650b lowers and with free taichung race face 35 mm direct mount stem.
Didn't realize they were still in business.nobody wants atomlab
mmm after like 8 years of dismal bikes, GT is finally producing really nice DH sleds and some decent broduro bikes. Meanwhile schwinn has benefited from the same partnership with some really mediocre commuter bikes.Just for sake of conversation, what instances can you guys think of in the bike industry where conglomeration was good for R&D and progression?
This is pretty hard to know without talking to people who were involved in product development at the same company pre and post merger.Just for sake of conversation, what instances can you guys think of in the bike industry where conglomeration was good for R&D and progression?
That's not how it works.It is expected that there will be a price increase on fox fork and shox once production is transferred overseas (taiwan) as parts moves back and forth across the pacific.
Actually its the other way round. Taiwanese companies cast the lower legs and manufacture the CSUs (as well as other bits) and they were shipped to the US where Fox assembled everything. Then most were shipped back to Taiwan to assemble as OEM.It is expected that there will be a price increase on fox fork and shox once production is transferred overseas (taiwan) as parts moves back and forth across the pacific.
and OE product to their customers that still assemble all bikes in California...Now Fox will manufacture and assemble everything in Taiwan and only ship the aftermarket products.
