Features:

• Compatible with Fox 36 (2015+) and 36 Rhythm, and Rockshox Pike/Lyrik/Yari/Revelation (35mm) forks. See bottom of page for fitment notes.
• 130-180mm travel, internally adjustable using included spacers. (Note - max permissible travel for your fork is determined by the fork manufacturer and may be less than 180mm)
• Full tool-free control over bottoming resistance.
• 11 coil spring rates available, from 30lbs/in to 80lbs/in precision wound in 5lbs/in increments.
• Rider weights from 45kg (100lbs) to 125kg (275lbs) catered for.
• Universal cartridge kits require only new top caps to be moved between different forks (and foot studs if different fork brands).
• Springs are guided and isolated internally and externally to reduce spring buckling and knocking, minimising noise.
• Spring guiding system also means less rubbing, less wear and less contamination of the bath oil.
• Utilises more oil for superior bushing lubrication and smoothness.
• Only coil conversion system on the market allowing 180mm travel.
• Easy and cost-effective to transfer from one fork to another.
• Allows full use of travel even for very light riders
• No harsh bottoming.
• Reliable and low maintenance.
• User installable and serviceable.
• Designed, developed and manufactured in Whistler, Canada.
• Weight increase of approximately 250-450g (dependent on spring rate and fork's existing spring system).
• System includes one universal Smashpot cartridge kit with brand-specific food stud, fork-specific topcap and spring.
• $420.69CAD (approx $315USD)

Our engineering is straightforward and no-BS, so we think our marketing should be too: if your first priority for your fork is outright performance, get yourself a Smashpot.

Why Coil?

Air springs have improved substantially over the years - and we've been at the forefront of air spring development for years, so we've got no bridges to sell you. Yeah, coils are heavier than air, and for some riders that alone is a dealbreaker - fair enough. The advantages of coil springs, however, are clear:

• Zero stiction or friction in a coil spring. And there never will be.
• Zero spring rate variation.
• Zero moving seals in the spring system to wear out, cause friction or leak.
• Zero temperature effect on spring rate.
• Zero altitude sensitivity.
• More oil in the fork - lubrication and service life are improved.
• Day in, day out, the fork just straight up feels good.
• In short, improvements in sensitivity, grip, compliance, mid-stroke support and consistency, with reductions in harshness and hand pain.

Low weight aside, air springs outperform coil springs in one critical area: bottoming resistance. Enter the Smashpot.

Externally adjustable, speed sensitive hydraulic bottoming control valve

The heart of the Smashpot is a speed sensitive shimmed valve which engages progressively and seamlessly in the last 50mm of travel to effectively manage high energy and low energy inputs without harshness. Easy tool-free external adjustment ensures you get as much or as little bottoming resistance as you need. Light and smooth? Easy. Big and aggressive? Just as easy. Turn a dial and you're sorted.

Why go this route?

Unlike conventional hydraulic anti-bottoming cones, the longer displacement over which it is effective and its speed-sensitive shimmed valve means the Smashpot can dissipate more energy with lower forces, bringing the fork to a gentle stop at the end of the travel in a smooth, controlled manner. Compared to alternatives such as elastomer or pneumatic bump stops, the Smashpot doesn't involve components physically colliding mid-travel. And unlike air springs and pneumatic bump stops, it dissipates energy rather than storing it and throwing it back at you, further stabilising the bike. There's no air spring seals, meaning fewer potential points of failure in your fork, no spring stiction, fewer wearing seals, and no need for a shock pump - ever.

FAQ

• How much weight does it add? It's heavier than your air spring by between 250-450g, depending on spring rate (firmer springs are generally heavier) and the fork's original spring system (TALAS/DPA are typically heavier than Float/Solo Air). If the weight bothers you, you may be more interested in a Luftkappe.
• Can I convert my fork back to air afterwards? Going back to air, should you wish to, may not be an option - spring rub may score the inside of your stanchion, so the the piston may not seal again. The spring is both isolated and guided to minimise stanchion knock and rub, however there are no guarantees an air spring will seal again after riding with a spring installed. We'd be pretty surprised if anyone actually wanted to do this after riding the Smashpot though.
• Do I need any extra parts to change the travel? All spacers required are included with the kit. The only thing you may want is more heat shrink for the cartridge tube, as it's installed after travel is set internally.  CLICK HERE FOR SPARE PARTS.
• Does it void the fork's warranty? As with any aftermarket modifications, it should be expected to void the fork manufacturer's warranty.
• What versions of the Pike does it fit? It is available for all 35mm Pikes in 27.5" and 29" from MY2014 onwards (no fitment for 26") in Boost and non-Boost. 29" forks need to use the included adaptor to lengthen the top cap.
• What versions of the Revelation does it fit? It fits all 35mm versions of the Revelation from MY2018 onwards.
• What versions of the Lyrik/Yari does it fit? It fits all versions of the Lyrik & Yari from MY2016 onwards.
• What versions of the Fox 36 does it fit? It fits all versions of the 36 from MY2015 onwards EXCEPT Pedelec e-bike specific forks. IMPORTANT: Call Fox with your serial number to check your fork's maximum permissible travel if attempting to run your fork with the Smashpot over 160mm if this is more travel than it currently has.
• Will it fit any other forks? Other applications are under development. Got a fork you want to see it made for? Contact us and let us know.

DESCRIPTION

Developed by High Performance exercise scientists, Charge increases energy, power and endurance after first serve and contains zero banned substances listed by the World Anti-Doping Association. Simply, we put ingredients in that first provided power, endurance and energy benefits, and then an ingredient that increases the absorption rate into the blood stream. This means a lower dosage can be used for the same benefit. What you will feel from using this supplement is the ability to sit on that lactic threshold limit for longer, and feel more powerful when intensities are higher.  You will also feel a consistent energy boost that won’t result in a crash. We have had 20 of our athletes from various sports test this supplement and everyone has loved it, remarking that they can push harder for longer during training and racing. Ingredients and their functions Beta Alanine –  This amino acid increase carnosyn levels in your blood. Carnosyn is what buffers lactic acid and fatigue. Studies have shown that increased carnosyn from beta alanine supplementation helps decrease lactate and increase power and endurance especially in interval type training. The research proving Beta Alanine is now surpassing creatine in improving performance of athletes. Citrulline Malate – This supplement is an amino acid that comes from watermelons and has been found to have anti-fatigue properties. Many studies have also shown improved performance when used daily. One study found a 34% increase in the rate of ATP production during exercise and a 20% increase in phosphocreatine recovery after exercise.  Citrulline Malate has also been found to increase the amount of bicarbonates in the blood stream, which helps to buffer lactic acid and protect against acidity of the blood. Beta Vulgaris Extract – Sourced from beetroots. You may have heard that most of the AIS athletes drink a drink called “beet it” before they race. This is because of a study that found drinking beetroot juice before exercise increase vo2max and time to fatigue. Beta Vulagris extract from the beets is the specific substance that causes these performance gains. Acetyl L- Carnitine – This is an amino acid that is made in the liver. Supplementing with this has been shown in studies to enhance endurance, increase fat metabolism (more fat burned while training and racing instead of glucose therefore enhancing time to fatigue) Ginseng – This herb has been used for centuries by the Chinese to increase energy, and is now making its way into athlete performance enhancement. More energy and more focus is what this herb is great for. Idebonone – Idebonone has all the functions of the popular Co Enzyme Q10 but with some extra benefits. This ingredient is vital for producing ATP (energy) in the cardiac and muscular systems.  Using this will help assist with endurance training and recovery, and to fight free radicals which athletes build up. There are many studies that have been done on CoQ10 but one that sticks out the most is where 94% of athletes felt and improvement in performance after using this ingredient. This is my favourite supplement to take. Bioperine – This ingredient increases the bioavailability of the others ingredients which means better absorption and greater effectiveness.

Enduro ready trail bike. It may be slack, but it's not a slacker.

The enduro pedigree of the HD4 was solidified when it won the overall team title in last year's Enduro World Series. It's built for stability at speed, and excels on steep terrain. Descending prowess is expected however, and the most common comment we get after someone's first HD4 experience usually goes something like "that bike is an amazing climber too!" We owe that to the v5 dw-link, delivering efficiency and bump performance across the pedaling range.

When the Santa Cruz Bronson was first introduced, it took the market by storm and redefined what people expected from a 150mm trail bike. With an even further refined design the Bronson utilises its incredible stiffness and weight to create a nimble, aggressive riding style. This beauty of a bike was equally at home in the Trans-Provence as it was on The Ridge so updating and improving it was going to be a big deal..

Santa Cruz Bronson CC Features

• The most visible upgrade on the Santa Cruz Bronson V2 is the completely new VPP® link arrangement; the lower link tucks neatly above the bottom bracket, fully-recessed and protected from impacts
• The box-section upper link now mounts cleanly to the top-tube and enhances lateral stiffness as a result.
• Shock rates have been refined in the process too, delivering greater small bump sensitivity and a more progressive mid-stroke
• Geometry has also evolved subtly to meet demand from riders for a bike of this ilk; seat tube angle’s been steepened, placing the rider right above the cranks and perfectly in position to lay down the power
• One-degree slacker 66 degree head tube angle combines with a 20-25mm longer top tube and shorter chainstay length to create an evermore rally-ready geometry than its predecessor

The CC-level carbon frame found on the 2017 Santa Cruz Bronson is every bit as stiff and strong as the C-level frame, but is lighter (about 280grams lighter) and stronger thanks to the more expensive carbon fiber. This material is used in key places through the Bronson frame allowing Santa Cruz to use less material overall, which is what shaves off more than half a pound from the frame.
