During these 100 years Columbus has increased its knowledge to correctly define every functional aspect of a fork, thoroughly calculating the optimum side and frontal strength parameters, without omitting the aesthetic aspect and lightness of the piece. Since more than 90 years the forks made with Columbus steel fork blades are all of this. Today the use of carbon fibre gives more lightness to this component and allows Columbus to capitalise its experience. Carbon fibre is 4 times more resistant than steel and 8 times more resistant than alloy, and thanks to its versatility and sense of direction of the fibres.

With an eye-catching carnivore animal print across both the Trigger MIPS helmet and the frames of the Pit Viper sunglasses, this is a combination that is definitely for those of you who like to stand out on the trails. And it'll probably scare off errant antelopes too. Bonus. iXS Trigger AM MIPS helmet (Carnivore Print) An award-winning design, the Trigger AM MIPS Cycle Helmet features patented in-mould technology. A tough outer shell is directly fused to the shock-absorbing internal EPS material, giving you a rugged helmet that can easily take on the demands of regular use while offering superb protection in the event of head impact. The in-mould technology also allows iXS to maximise ventilation without compromising the integrity and safety of the helmet. Carefully designed external vents lead to internal channels, giving superior airflow and boosting cool comfort throughout your ride. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.

Shimano XT M8120 Disc BrakeWith its four-piston caliper design giving you extra braking power and modulation, the Shimano XT M8120 Disc Brake enables you to push yourself harder on the trails. The lever has reach adjustment and can be combined with I-Spec EV gear shifters.The powerful Shimano XT M8120 mountain bike (MTB) brake includes a rider tuneable lever and four-piston caliper for outstanding stopping power as you navigate around the trails. Its caliper decreases rotor wobbling noise and increases its braking power by 10%, so you'll enjoy a quieter and more precise braking set-up. In addition, its lever enables combination with I-Spec EV gear shifters for an action-packed cockpit layout. There's also an adjustable reach that suits any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. This is a perfect choice of upgrade for dominating every descent and shredding around the trails in style.Features: Material: Lever: Aluminium anodised; Caliper: Aluminium painted Brake Type: Hydraulic disc brake (Brake Fluid Type: Mineral oil) Single or Pair: Single Use: MTB, Enduro, Trail Caliper Mount Type: Post Mount (mounting bolts included); Brake Lever Mount: I-Spec EV Lever Length: 2 finger Adjustment: Tool-less reach adjustment Piston: 4-piston Brake Pads Included: Yes, N04A Metal (Sintered) with fin Brake Rotor Included: No Weight: 284g (approx)Technologies: Servo Wave Action: When you pull a Servowave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control. Reach Adjust: The brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from the handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences. Ice Technologies: The fade, which can occur to disc brake rotors and pads when braking on a long downhill ride, has a negative impact on the braking performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies disc brake rotor and Ice Technologies pad to realise the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance achieving from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight. Four Piston: Disc brake system with the dual diameter opposed-piston caliper design has differently sized pistons in front and in the rear. The system adopts a power transfer system in which the disc brake rotor is pressed by the smaller sized piston at the entrance of the disc brake rotor intake and also by the more powerful larger sized piston at the back. This prevents the wobbling motion of the disc brake rotor and reduces noises significantly. The 4-piston caliper also allows a wider contact area for the disc brake rotor while keeping the size compact, and the efficient location of pads is adjusted as necessary to stabilise the pressure. In combination use with the Servowave lever it provides an incredible 50% more stopping power than the previous model. The advanced Saint/Zee disc brake system, which adjusts to accommodate the different braking styles of different riders, offers stable braking power and excellent modulation. One Way Bleeding: One Way Bleeding was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in Shimano's hydraulic system. Shimano has streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system. One-way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system.Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.A 2 year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
