Eurobike 2008 Day 1

This year Eurobike is once again dominated by lightweight parts. It seems all the innovation is going into making parts super light. On the bike front, I found some interesting suspension designs from Corratec.

 

The Trek lineup looks really hot for 2009 and my feeling is that some manufacturers are taking a step back. The new Epic from Specialized does not excite me at all. The rear shock is really tiny in real life, and I can only wonder what it rides like since I did not get a chance to ride it at the demo day. Giant must win the award for the most boring bikes of 2009! Then to make things worse, it seems that Rocky Mountain has an exact copy of the Giant.

 

Enjoy the pictures!
