DVO look to be rocking silver soon and shocks too match. Looking good.

Looks like a sess-Zeb?

Really though, looks nice. DVO do good stuff, i'd be tempted to try it if I didn't already have 3+ various Zeb/38 forks lying around.

Out of all the forks I ever had, the DVO Diamond is the only one I keep dreaming of again.

You should try the WP X DVO Onyx. One of the nicest forks I own.

Wolftooth hubs, look great but the price is eye watering…..

No doubt they're good, but for the money I'd stick with the established players. I think in this market if you want to position yourself on the top shelf you need to bring some innovation, like P321 have done with their easily switchable centrelock / 6 bolt G3 hubs.

So it's just a DT ratchet but in fancy colours? As above, there's plenty of other high end hubs around I'm not sure how these are a game changer.

The price is absurd. I'd just buy 180/240s or Sidekick Pro and call it a day.

I'll be sticking with my cheap Onyx hubs.

Why so poor?

They're all I can afford after my contribution to the new stadium.

Wasn't there that fancy free ratchet for the 240 as well by WRP?

Yes, but with what i've heard about shipping/wait times and communication (or lack of), not sure i'd send my money that way at present.

Decent explanation of Pirellis new tyres and naming system.

3 patterns, 4 casings, and 3 compounds

 

[Hambo]

Seems like a good mix of casings, compounds and tread types.

Certainly more cohesive than Continental - where is their Endurance Enduro Xynotal or Kryptotal?

I have no idea with Continental, they seem to go from XC race tyres to DH casing Enduro tyres with nothing in between.
Having said that Schwalbe and Maxxis are totally indecipherable with all their stupid names.

To be more specific.

Judge on the front.

Trail Boss on the rear (or Judge/Judge if you are riding super steep loamy trails) IMO.

I really liked their tyres but I wouldn't have minded a mid-weight Vigilante, it seemed to be heavy and tough, or lightweight and flimsy.
