Next is the high mileage, clincher training tire the "Intensive". Then, we see the "Fusion 2" road tubeless tire.

Coverage of the Dual Slalom event from day 3. The weather today was a bit colder than the previous days, and the wind and dust was a force to be reckoned with.

In this video, Paul Kantor gives us the complete lowdown on the New brakeset from Avid....the Eilixir!



From the official SRAM/Avid Press Release:

"Elixir R – The perfect mix of power and control"
AVID’s new Taperbore Technology provides supreme control combined with increased stopping power

Less initial power and deep stroke modulation allow the rider to better manage and use the increased overall power. The power gain comes from Elixir’s larger caliper pistons making the power sit halfway between Juicy and Code. Elixir benefits include reduced weight and clearance through reservoir design and optimized caliper.

Features:
-Taperbore Lever with Integrated Reservoir
-Tool-Free Reach Adjust
-Two-Piece Caliper - Top Loading Pads
-Improved Modulation
-Increased Power
-Reduced Weight
-Drip-Free Bleeding
-MatchMaker Compatible Technologies
-Power Reserve Geometry
-Caliper Positioning System

We’ve been working on putting together a fast, good quality video player. We’ll be posting videos from events and you can post your videos too. This is the beta version, so feedback would be great to hear. Especially any bugs you run across.

Thanks, Enjoy.

Some snippets from Day 1 Sea Otter 2008 - wish you were here. It was a nice warm day, too hot almost. Wind came in later in the afternoon to help cool down. Sea Otter may break with the classic tradition of rain. Maybe, we've still got 3 more days left.
