MRP Ribbon Air ForkFeaturing 35mm stanchions, combined with MRP's renowned technologies, this mountain bike (MTB) fork is ready for the rigours of enduro racing and all mountain riding terrain conditions. This model is equipped with Boost axle spacing, which gives it additional stiffness and strength as you tackle unpredictable, mixed terrains, while also ensuring smooth, effective and consistent handling as you weave between the trails. MRP Ribbon forks have received updates including the ChocoLUXE internals and Norglide Bushings, providing less stiction and better-than-ever performance.Enduro Forks with Adjustable Air Spring SystemMRP's goal in designing the Ribbon was seemingly impossible: building on the success of the heralded Stage, create a fork with higher performance, more adjustability, more features, all at a significantly lower weight. Those incredible demands meant that the brand had to reimagine elements like casting design, reconfigure damper architecture, and completely retarget performance goals. The result is not just the best fork they've ever produced, they've classed it as the new industry benchmark.With other features like the highly tuneable FulFill air-spring, low-pressure IFP damper, PSST pressure relief valves, and Outcast arch design and the acclaimed Ramp Control technology, this is the enduro fork to have. Features: Stanchions: 35mm Use: All mountain, Enduro Axle: 15x110mm Boost QR axle standard; Bolt-on optional (available separately) Air Spring System: FulFill independent positive & negative chamber system External Adjustments: Positive/negative air-spring pressure, 8-position low-speed compression, 16-position Ramp Control, and rebound Internal Adjustments: Travel (in 5mm increments) Brake Mount: 180mm, post mount Fork Travel/Offset: Multiple options available to select Axle To Crown Length: 27.5" Option with 150mm travel: 542mm; 27.5" Option with 160mm travel: 552mm; 27.5+/29" Option with 150mm travel: 562mm; 27.5+/29" Option with 160mm travel: 572mm Weight: 27.5" Option: 1.88kg; 27.5+/29" Option: 1.95kgTechnologies: ChocoLUXE Internals: ChocoLUXE is a proprietary material utilised in the damper plug, damper seal, damper IFP, and damper support. It's highly dimensionally stable, meaning that parts made from it are more consistent overall and less susceptible to change with exposure to temperature swings or humidity. It is also extremely low friction. Norglide Bushings: Norglide Bushings from Saint Gobain are metal-reinforced, self-lubricating bushings with a layer of a low friction PTFE compound. They're exceptionally smooth and durable. Reduced Friction: In addition to part updates, MRP also continued to refine its processes. In whole, these part and process changes have resulted in a 37% reduction in friction compared to first-generation Ribbon forks. FullFill air-spring system with independently adjustable positive and negative air-chambers for greater tunability. New EssenTTial twin-tube, bladder-free damper utilizing a low-pressure IFP. Outcast arch design with forward-facing weight reliefs to mitigate mud build up.

While there may be a linear relationship between increased tire size and increased fun this relationship only holds true when wider tires are paired with the correct width rims. Having a 2.8' or high-volume tire mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy poor handling experience and when you’re on the hunt for additional fun these characteristics are undesirable. Lucky for you the new age of traction stability and speed has arrived—and its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5. Along with light overall weight stiffness and durability another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off we got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up we landed on 28 J-bend spokes for front and rear wheels that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. And finally we engineered a new hub design with a wider profile and higher flange to aid in overall stiffness. While our 38-millimeter Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings the benefits of three-inch tires become more apparent with a proper rim interface. In search for the proper width our engineers tested various iterations from 30 to 45 millimetres to determine where the sweet spot lies. What they ended up with is a 38-millimeter internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines . A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tires. The extra width allows for more tire volume translating into more supple ride qualities and better support for the tire meaning that you'll experience less 'burping' when riding tubeless and a drastic increase in traction. After determining the proper rim width for the plus-sized application we began designing the rim using the same low-weight high-strength technologies used in the Traverse SL and the Control SL. With this we started with our Zero Bead Hook design that effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims and topped it off by using high-modulus carbon fibre to keep the weight down. And to further this theme the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system which sheds an additional 50 grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is hand-built to our own alloy hubs with DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside our hubs you'll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around and a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that allows you to power over rocks and roots without delay. And while machines do a decent job of building wheels we choose professionally trained humans to build ours as they catch various flaws that a machine would otherwise miss.

Sector GCi Carbon Gravel WheelsetWhether you're racing across the mud or simply exploring the countryside gravel roads, this wheelset is engineered for fast and smooth-rolling performance. It features a hard-wearing unidirectional carbon fibre rim construction, which allows you to benefit from its amazing strength without adding any unnecessary grams to your gravel bike. Engineered to excel in high impact environments, this model is equipped with revolutionary TeXtreme Innegra that's integrated into the layup of the rims. This special fibre delivers 75% high impact resistance when compared to standard carbon rims of the same profile. This means you can enjoy high energy rides with superior vibration damping and none of the harsh stiffness associated with carbon.So what is Innegra?Innegra is a fibre derived from polypropylene that exhibits some highly beneficial properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to damage, vibration damping and energy dissipation. The TexTreme fabric used in the layup of GCi rim is a Spread Tow fabric built from a hybrid of Innegra and T700 carbon fibres. The Spread Tow layout is significant because it also contributes some positive attributes - the fibres are straighter (reduced crimp therefore higher strength) and it facilitates the use of less resin (lower weight).In the GCi rim the Spread Tow fabric is used on the outer layer of the rim, giving it the unique checkerboard pattern.Sounds good, but what does that mean for a rim? Significantly more compliance...Under a lab test the GCi rim was 50% more vertically compliant than a unidirectional T700 carbon rim of the same profile. This test involves loading the rim with a 100kg weight, in which the GCi rim exhibited a deflection of 15.74mm compared to 10.55mm on the standard T700 rim.It is widely acknowledged that vertical compliance is important for damage reduction (less likely to crack), a reduction of fatigue and to improve traction. Such an improvement in vertical compliance also brings a radically improved ride quality to the GCi wheelset.The Innegra equipped rims do not have the associated harsh stiffness of regular carbon wheels. Significantly more impact resistance...In the lab the GCi rim was able to handle impacts of almost double the standard required for MTB wheels by the UCI. The GCi rim withstood an impact of 140J compared the UCI stipulated requirement of an 80J impact, making it 75% stronger than the UCI requirements. In real world terms, the GCi rim can handle the equivalent of dropping a 15kg weight from a height of up to 1.08 metres onto the bare rim, thus making it 18% stronger than a recognised leading competitor who has published their data. Much less weight...Despite offering strength and compliance advantages, the use of Innegra also allows the construction of an extremely lightweight rim. The Innegra equipped GCi rim weighs just 440g, and Sector's complete wheelset weighs just 1690g.Features: Rim Material: T-700 Unidirectional Carbon Fibre; Outer layer: TeXtreme Plain Weave Spread Tow Carbon Fibre and Innegra S Hybrid Wheel Size: 700c Use: Gravel Spokes / Type: Pillar 1422 Bladed / Straight Pull Nipples: Pillar Black Brass DSN Hub Rotor Fitment: Centrelock Freehub: 6 Pawl (Shimano or SRAM XD options available to select) Hole Count: 24h ERD: 566mm Rim Width: (Internal) 24mm | (External) 31mm Rim Depth: 38mm Tubeless: Yes Single or Pair: Pair End Caps: (Front) 100x12mm / (Rear) 142x12mm Extras: Tubeless Sealant, valves, tape and 15mm end caps Weight: 1690gBuy Sector Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
