Market: The US manufacturer Trek, together with Fox and Penske Racing, the chassis specialist known from Formula 1, has developed a new damping technology - Reactive. In addition, it will be from the coming season Fuel EX also give as 27,5 inches.
The Reactive According to Trek, shock absorber technology should be used in conjunction with the tried and tested DRCVSystem raise the performance of the in-house trail bikes to a new level. The main reason for this is said to be the dynamic adjustment of the damper by the Reactive-System be responsive to the hardness and speed of the punches. In this way, the will continue to react to smaller impacts Low speed-Compression level, with larger impacts, however, the damping is reduced.
If you follow the explanations in the attached video, the chassis should become more efficient and resemble a mixture of propulsion-oriented XC bike and descent-oriented downhiller. The system seeks its approach directly to the damper and not, as was previously the case, to the spring characteristic.
The Reactive-System will include the new Fuel EX 27,5- models to be found. The 650B variant of the popular trail bike will be available in a total of five versions. In addition, the 29er variant will also be continued. Prices for the new models, which are due to go on sale later this year, are not available to us at the moment. More info at www.trekbikes.com
