Sooooo......... you've all the heard the rumour about the revolutionary new Ei shock that has been developed by RockShox and Lapierre, well here's some info all about it....... Lapierre and RockShox launch revolutionary electronic shock system called e:i shock Lapierre proudly unveiled their revolutionary new technology the e:i shock system built with the RockShox Monarch RT3 Relay Shock and based on the 2013 Monarch RT3 damper. The intelligent system (e:i = electronic intelligence), allows the rider to always have optimal rear shock adjustment regardless of the terrain. Using accelerometers on the fork leg and stem cap to measure bump force and  cadence sensors in the bottom bracket to gauge pedaling input, information is passed to the stem-mounted computer. Powered by a rechargeable battery, a small electric motor mounted on the damper accurately adjusts the compression settings to find the optimal position. This entire process takes .01 seconds ...

Riders rolled into Hamsterley Forest,  Co. Durham for round three of the Gravity Enduro series.  Last time out at Coed Y Brenin, riders battled strong winds, driving rain and freezing temperatures. This time, however, couldn’t have been more different with clear blue skies and hot sunshine all weekend, happy days! Rick (me), Ross, Russ and Ryan rode this round with Matt broken and Sidey unavailable Arriving on Friday night, the rest of the team had already got there early and got Twelve50 pits looking pro as usual. Some BBQ lasagne (oh yeah!), a quick spin to stretch the legs and there was just time for a beer or two and look forward to the following days practice. Looking pro as ever...

It seems a few riders had more imagination than others as there were rumours of some, er, creative line choice, cutting wh...
