New suspension know-how for Cannondale & Co.

In December, Cannondale announced that Peter Denk would no longer be head developer to keep the mountain bike range up to date. Now Cannondale's parent company is announcing that a new engineer is on board who brings a lot of expertise in suspension concepts - one keyword is Rock Shox Pike.

The Cycling Sports Group (CSG) is not only home to manufacturers such as Cannondale, Mongoose and GT, the Fabric and Sombrio brands are now also under the company umbrella. In order to keep pace with the growth of the portfolio, the group is now recruiting new manpower. Interesting for mountain bikers: a new Suspension Technology engineer is on board.

Jeremiah Boobar is the new Director of Suspension Technology CSG. Boobar comes from Sram in Colorado Springs. For this manufacturer, he played a key role in the development of groundbreaking products such as the Rock Shox Reverb dropper post and the fork series test winner Rock Shox Pike. Boobar is tasked with driving suspension development across all CSG brands and product segments.

More manpower for further segments
CSG is also making personnel changes in other areas: Ben Ward joins GT as BMX Product Manager. Markus Spenninger works in the development office in Freiburg im Breisgau for the e-bike and urban segments and brings with him a background of working at BMW and Specialized.

New name
There are further changes at CSG. The parent company Dorel Industries has given the sports division a new name: Dorel Sports. The brands that Dorel Sports includes are as follows: Cannondale, Caloi, Charge, Fabric, GT, Guru, Instep, Iron Horse, Kid Trax, Mongoose, Schwinn, Sugoi.
