Fox suspension are our continued fork/shock sponsor this season.Fox are our longest standing sponsor and that makes us very happy as their product is simply THE best there is. Period.
A huge thanks to the team at Fox down in Watsonville, CA for their continued support.Whistler's riding is the best showcase for the versatility and quality of the suspension components Fox offer we have to ride pretty much all of it :)
There is nothing that offers the quality that Fox do in suspension, at least not that we've seen. www.foxracingshox.com

DT Swiss

The euro zone engineering companies are definately doing something right when it comes to the quality of the product they produce and DT Swiss are no exception!Sure we've dented a few 6.1d rims in the past riding Whistler's bike park day in day out, but with straight and true 5.1d, 4.2d much better 610d rims, zero hub failures and spokes as strong as Arnie, these wheel sets are perfect for the riding we have here!
New for 2010 see's us rolling along on the new Tricon 1550's on our XC bikes, 1750's on trail and FR bikes and 2350 and 2200's on DH bikes.Check out DT Swiss' offerings at www.dtswiss.com

Continental Tires
( 2 Articles )
Continental Tires have been around for donkeys years and made their name in the road biking world, not to mention with OEM and aftermarket tires for premium auto manufacturers.Conti have been putting out 'love them or hate them' endless edge XC tires for quite some time now but since the development of their more traditional tread range and their commitment to taking the Gravity market by storm, and enlisting the Athertons to show us just how well this rubber performs, their tires have earned some serious kudos!
We're lucky enough to be working with Continental and have our guide bikes shod in the finest German rubber.
We think we've found the perfect tires! www.conti-online.com

Gravity
( 1 Article )
Liking to keep things local and tight, we jumped onboard with WA basedGravity/FSA. HAving thei rstaff able to swing upto Whistler on a regular basis is a really useful tool from a relationship and product development aspect.Gravity stepped up and made their superb product lines available to us.
FSA (Full Speed Ahead) is a brand more familiar to those who ride road, XC or XC race whippets with some of the lightest and fastest carbon kit on the market.
Gravity, a relatively new division of FSA has taken all the heavy hitting product ranges and marketed under the apt branding of Gravity.
Most notably, the Gravity Light component group is just as light as many AM components from other companies, but built tough and ready to take on a season of Whistlers daily bike abuse!

Helly Hansen

For as long as I can remember I've had an affinity to Helly Hansen's kit. I've always skiied in their jackets and pants (salopettes to we Brits) as I figured that the Norweigans knwo how to keep themselves warm and dry.Helly Hansen have been steadily branching out into the adventure sports market over the last few years with the addition of a small range of riding jerseys. The huge bonus for us though is their wet weather and cool weather gear.
Our guide are kitted out with rain jackets and softshells to keep the elements at bay, and even with a full season of 'ride, wash, repeat', the stuff still looks as good as new - and still keeps them warm and dry too!
