In the "34 Talas 160 CTD", the Californian suspension specialist has revised the TALAS (Travel Adjustable Linear Air Spring) lowering system and the suspension should respond even more finely. The lowering sends the fork down from 160 millimetres to 130 millimetres, and a hydraulic adjustment mechanism should make it possible to switch more quickly between these two basic settings. Otherwise, the fork relies on the proven air cartridge technology. The "CTD", i.e. the option to choose between the Climb, Trail and Descend compression modes, is also used. The Trail mode can be adjusted in three stages. The 26-inch fork weighs 1964 grams. A 650b version will also be available.

Air shock with reservoir
Large volume, light weight: this could have been the requirement profile for the new "Float X" air shock. The expansion tank increases the volume of oil in the damper, which improves heat dissipation. As a result, the damper should offer constant damping performance in the long term, even during heavy compression and rebound. As with the fork above, a CTD is on board and the trail mode also offers three settings.

The shock can also be optionally equipped with a remote control. In the 216 millimeter version, the damper weighs 365 grams. Both suspension elements naturally also have an adjustable rebound stage.
