New RockMan Slate XL

Don't panic - it's still +70mm.



The RockMan Slate XL frame has seen a few tweaks from last years model, featuring updated graphics, the same booster and side plate combo as the Radix as well as a 660mm reach (down 5mm from last year) thanks to a slacker 71° head angle (72° last year).  Available in Grey only.


Schwalbe Downhill tubes


We've got a couple of new tubes in stock from Schwalbe - their "Downhill" 24" and 26" tube.  Those quotation marks are there because although they're classed as a downhill tube, they're actually lighter than the Maxxis Freeride equivalents, and a lot lighter than the Kenda Downhill tubes.  If you'd like a large volume tube that's not so heavy its gravitational pull is going to draw the moon into orbit around the back of your bike, this might be the tube for you...
