Onto DT, first up having to be that white wheelset. It's called the EX 1750, both wheels have 32 DT Aerolite bladed spokes on them and they're meant for enduro/all mountain riding. The 1750 in the name refers to the weight in grams for the complete wheelset. You can have the front in a 20mm thru or standard 9mm and the 9mm front hub and the rear hub both use bolted axles for extra security using standard designs. It's certainly a good idea, as in my experience QRs have a habit of undoing themselves on long travel forks, nevermind the extra stiffness. The white paint and dayglo graphics are very eye catching and they got a lot of attention in the pits. DT are definitely working on their cool, first with the red extreme use FR 2350 wheels and now these white efforts.
DT also displayed their new disk specific XC rim, which is actually their first as previous "disk" rims were the same as the V versions but with the braking surfaces anodised over. The XR 4.1D rim is around 30g lighter than the old disk model (new ones weighing in at 398g) and has a slightly wider profile to follow the trend for fatter tyres. DT say that the rim could be made even lighter, but they're after durability and reliability rather than silly lightweight stuff. For the more extreme, DT also have the 5.1 and the 6.1, weight (and strength) going up in 100g intervals. Steve Peat is currently using the 5.1 rather than the tougher 6.1 on his DH bike and they're said to be running fine. Expect to see him running the white "all mountain" EX 1750 wheelset at some point though

Although the details of how it actually works aren't forthcoming at the moment, this brand spanking new never seen before wheel "QR" system called Ratchet Wheel Mounting System or RWMS is going to be fully revealed at Eurobike but essentially it's going to be a middle way between normal QRs and using bolts on standard dropouts. Looks interesting..

marzocchi

Marzocchi had a couple of new things floating about, including an air Roco shock to go after the Fox DHX 5.0 Air and a lighter weight alloy bodied Roco coil without the piggyback of the RC, or indeed the compression adjustment. The adjusters on both are also clicky/detented unlike the old Roco RC. There were also this pair of interesting prototypes which can safely be thought of as the 2007 All Mountain forks. Theses ones had the new All Travel Adjust system with flippy up adjust levers and best of all, a 20mm thru Maxle. Marzocchi say they've tweaked it slightly from the RS version, using a redesigned axle that expands on both ends over the single ended RS version, but it's pretty much identical

Y de Marzocchi qué decir... ¡Marzocchi Power! :aplauso2.

DT siempre ha declarado que no tienen intención de desarrollar llantas de este tipo, el que quiera montar cubiertas tubeless que compre su propio kit.

La verdad es q esas ruedas blanquitas son la caña, pero solo acmbia el color respecto las de fr naranjas q tienen ahora,no?o las han aligerado?

a ver ese maortiguador rocco de aire q motiba, dicen q el de muelle es al caña y estos italianos no suelen defraudarnos.

como se ve q el maxle se esta imponiendo, la verdad es q es un gran inveto.
