2010 Solid bikes & 2010 Reverse components
6/12/2009: 2010 pricing is up at www.fearlesscycles.com.au/home.html
Coming into 2010 Reverse and Solid bikes have been very busy. Some of you may of seen the carbon fibre spring due to be released in 2011.
However they have been up to much more, new direct mount stems, a new range of bars as well as expanding their colours. All the parts have seen a 10-15% price drop across the range when many others have gone up.
We will start of with 2010 Solid.
BLADE ELECTRO
http://solidbikes.de/eng/bikes_blade_electro_2010.html
Starting off with the ALL new Blade electro with 130-160mm of travel. This heavy duty enduro bike has some new technology to make the uphills alittle easier as well as the new era of geometry that is needed to challenge events like the mega-avalanche.
"THE GRUBER Assist is an ultra-light drive for mountain bikes. The drive is invisible Gruber cleverly designed built into the bicycle frame and scores especially through its light weight (900gr).
Pressing the turbo button on the handlebar and the burning disappears into the thighs.
The auxiliary drive made with 100 watts of additional power to the rear wheel - for at least 45 minutes at full load."

BLADE ENDURO
A more traditional version of the Blade electro with a more relaxed, aggressive geometry to help enjoy the pleasure in coming down. An all new linkage plate helps ramp up the travel.

BLADE AM
The whippet model of the new blade lineup, tighter geo for more controlled climbing and reduced weight whilst still retaining plenty of travel.
CARBON PREFORMANCE
The new super light weight entry from Solid into the marathon market. Features 100mm of travel and comes in 4 sizes to best suit the needs of long distance racing. Makes use of UD carbon tubing.
MISSON 9
This year's mission 9 refines their chassis and updates the spec list to the current desire of any budding downhiller. 235mm travel and the new tapered headtube bring it up to date.
MISSON 7
A few tweaked angles is about all that has changed for the 2010 Mission 7, still a 180mm machine that capable of winning local DH races and then hitting up the best freeride lines around. This machine got a 9/10 rating in the freeridzin.de magazine freeride bike shootout, reviewed as one of the best mini DH bikes out.
SPEED
It's big, it's beautiful and its got a gearbox. The Speed remains the flagship DH bike for Solid. Made in Germany with 7020 AL and your choice of paint colour. Another unique feature is the use of IDENTICAL front and rear wheels, no need to carry a full set of wheels to races.
Majority of the line up remains the same, flair still coming in with it's 130-160mm travel in a variety of specs. We can do Frame+ fork combo's with the new X-fusion vengeance fork which is the perfect match (along with a X-fusion H3 shock.)
FLAIR
Harlem complete comes in at a measly 11.5kg and only 1806gms for the frame only.
HARLEM
2010 REVERSE
Reverse have been busy creating new products every which way.
Their stand out product for 2009 was their hubs, many of you won't have seen these around yet but they are seriously nice, by far one of the strongest engagements we've come across.
TWISTER
To accompany the complete Reverse range these headsets stand out. Superlight whilst looking tops.
FORT WILL
The new saddle on the block with water resistance. Designed purely for the tracks such as the famous Fort William. Coming in titanium or cromo rail options these start from 220g.
LEGEND
Personally we have been looking forward to Reverse's first external BB crankset and they haven't failed. At only 855g including BB these things should really make a splash.
SEATPOSTS
Too many new ones to mention, enjoy.
HANDLEBARS
Some big releases for 2010 include the expanded range of the style 76 bars along with a greater line up of XC gear.

STEMS
Probably the biggest excitement from Reverse is their new stems, the 0-SEVEN-10 and the Direct Mount offerings. Anyone want a 31.8mm stem at only 152g?
Pricing will be up as soon as I can possibly arrange.
Enjoy guys!
