Bixs enters the enduro segment

With the "Cougar" line, Bixs has a new full suspension bike in its range. Thanks to 160 millimetres of suspension travel at both ends, the series is positioned in the enduro segment. At the same time, the Swiss company is also introducing a new, self-developed suspension system for the 2012 model year: "Direct Response Tec".

With a tapered head tube and thru-axles at the front and rear, the carbon frame should be extremely stiff. Paired with the "Direct Response Tec" rear suspension system, Bixs promises to have a climbing-friendly, efficient mix for rough terrain in its range. The multi-supported single-joint kinematics are now used on all full-suspension models from Bixs.

Bixs is extremely modern with the top model. Dynamic tube shapes, post-mount brake calliper mounting, internally routed shift cables and brake lines - even for remote operation of the Vario seat post - as well as a simple matt painted frame with individual anodized splashes of colour show a new face. Bixs has rarely been seen so simple and modern at the same time. The new line includes two carbon and two aluminum frames, offering something for every budget.

In addition to hardtails, the "Mariposa" series will offer six fullies with 120 or 140 millimeters of suspension travel in the coming year. Like the men's models, these are also based on the "Direct Response Tec" rear triangle.
