Back to the halls of Friedrichshafen in Germany for the best new products for 2010.

Manitou have been busy redeveloping their R7 XC fork with the addition of a very nice new lockout.  The fork is one of the lightest on the market.

Component manufacturer FSA released a raft of new road and MTB products under a new SLK branding.  These fit in below there range topping K-Force group.  It looked light and fast featuring both carbon and aluminium parts.

Vaude are well known for their bags but at Eurobike the debuted a prototype of their new MTB shoes.  Very nice they were too.  Unfortunately we don’t know too much as the prototypes weigh significantly more than the production model but initial thoughts were good with Irish trail friendly materials and a good fit.
