Big wheels, no excuses - at Santa Cruz, the Hightower is the pinnacle of versatility. The central improvement of the Hightower is the 5th generation of the VPP rear triangle. A revised architecture of the rear triangle enables a lower position of the lower link and the shock. This lowers the anti-squat value and improves the rear triangle performance. The influence of the chain on the suspension is minimized, which significantly increases traction and riding feel.

Forbidden has created a unique bike with the Druid: The 150 millimeter front and 130 millimeter rear travel combination is rather rare, and the rear suspension with High Pivot chain routing looks really tidy. Of course, that's not all there is to this machine, and Emmy Lan shows what is possible and feasible on the Druid.

The new BH Lynx SLS has been attracting attention for some time now, as it is already the bike of choice for the BH Coloma team in several important races. The Lynx SLS is the further development of the high-end hardtails and does not dispense with any of the BH virtues in the area of full-suspension mountain bikes. With 80 millimetres of suspension travel, it is ascetic and efficiently closes the gap to the hardtail.
