FORK WARS
Mountain Bike Rider|June 2020
Not to be outFoxed, RockShox is offering a new DebonAir spring that’s backwards compatible with existing RockShox 35mm forks
FORK WARS
WHAT’S CHANGED?

On the face of it, just a couple of small parts. Dig a little deeper, however, and it’s obvious that subtle changes to the relative position of the bypass port that balances positive and negative spring pressures should bring noticeable changes to the ride quality of the fork. The main one being an elevated ride height, where the influence of the negative air spring is less apparent, especially where it pulls the fork into the sag position and reduces the total amount of available travel.

100% GLENDALE GLASSES

100% GLENDALE GLASSES

When it comes to eyewear, having a large lens not only offers a lot more protection from trail splatter, it puts the frames further out from your field of view, allowing you to focus on the terrain in front of you. The Glendale is absolutely vast, and actually has a lens size akin to a full downhill goggle, so you literally can’t see the top or sides of the frame.

DMR STAGE 2 MTB RAIL SADDLE

DMR's new Stage 2 MTB Rail is one of those new/old products. The shape and construction are identical to the existing Oi Oi saddle, but the company has wrapped it in a new skin and added some harder-wearing reinforcement to the edges. It's also toned down the lairy graphics; this saddle only comes in plain black.
