A peek at the pack...

Using the central Flink® ball joint, the carrying system is no longer coupled to the backpack itself. It allows almost unrestricted movement of the upper body and relocates the center of gravity of the load to the hips. Pressure is steadily and equally distributed onto the shoulders which is very gentle on the back. This ingenious system allows a totally new and highly comfortable carrying sensation. The backpack stays firm in every situation, preventing undesired slipping on climbs, on technically demanding or downhill. The carrying system is shaped differently for men and women according to the gender-specific differences in body shape - the backpack is available with carrying systems in two sizes, making it adjustable to different body heights. The backpack can be individually customized for varying back lengths. The BD1 and BD2 have differing carrying loads. Both models have a sophisticated design and feature many sensible, innovative details.

That pack looks kinda neat, but all I can think of when looking at that ball joint is how much it could hurt (as a single concentrated contact point) when I flip or fall and crash land on my back.

Cheers, Chris

The joint itself does not contact the riders body. Only the shoulders and back lumbar area are touched by the pack. This pack is pretty cool. I rode with it on a trip of to Germany back in October and was blown away. As a solo endurance racer myself, I have worn many packs. This packs made my jaw hit the floor with amazement. It's soooooooo hard to put into words how freaky this pack is. Trust me, you have to see/use it to believe it. Also, oddly enough, the packs works better the more weight you have in it. I am sure this will be a big hit with those who like to spend all day out on epic rides and those who do multi-day racing like Trans-Alps or Trans Rockies.

But where are the green grips with bar ends that someone posts here regularly? I want them!

They will be available for 2007. They are just not in the ad that is running in Bike.

You just need to find the rip grip for your style of riding.

If you are doing general XC style riding look no further than the Performance, Race, and GX grips.

If you like to get freaky on the bike and do some downhill'n, free riding, or really steep riding I would look into the Enduro's. The Enduro's allow for lots of hand movement on the bar and maximum grip for throwing the front of the bike around.

I ride mainly XC, but i just don't want to think about my grips if i do try something "freaky" the odd time.

You'll be fine running any of the grips then. I would stay away from the Enduro's if your mostly rage'n XC. I might suggest the Race grips or wait till late Feb for the ultra sweet GX grips.

I suggest getting to a shop that stocks them. Then you can get your hands on them before you ever buy them. The packaging allows you to get a good feel for them.

as mentioned, i did see them in a shop, that is what made me interested in them. i have seem them on the internet before, but i became interested when i put my hand around one of 'em.

pulled the trigger

Today i went and picked up a pair of P1W grips. Like many other guys have mentioned, the P1M, is pretty big, and is a lot to get your hand around. They feel really good sitting on the bike, but i need to wait to give them a ride review. That may not happen too soon, since we got a bit of an ice storm today.

Cool!

Just for everyones FYI, for 2007 we are dropping the "W" label from the smaller diameter grips. For 2007 the grips will be simply labeled small and large. We will have a small disclaimer that the smaller grips will work best for women.

Cheers!

still no adult-size bar ends

I was hoping the carbon bar end would have been a reasonable size, seeing how the "mens" grip is pretty much the biggest grip around, it makes sense you'd have a bar end that would fit an adult's hand. I thought maybe you guys kept the ends so small to save weight with the metal bar ends.

I have the "race" model (with the Mg bar ends). Really sucks that the best grips on the market have among the worst ends.

I recently used the Ergon R2M for a 24hr event. These were graciously loan to me by the Ergon Distributor here in South Africa.

all I can say is that these grips are the real deal. There is none better. Over a very rough course I suffered absolutely no numb fingers or tingling palms nothing. Just pure comfort and control hour after hour.

Sold into the idea for life.

now If only I can get them to loan me the Back pack for the Cape-Epic....

Currently, the bar end used on the "race grips" and the new GX grips use the same size barend. This is the largest that we will offer for 2007. If the demand becomes high enough, we will look into a larger barend for 2008.

So, when do we expect 'em to be out in the market? I'm inferring from my readings around late Feb, right? Even for the GX1 & BD1?

In a nutshell: difference b/w BD1 from BD2. TIA!

BTW, says in your website, the GX2 model weights in at 34lbs... Well, how about GX1?

Thanks! More power!

You are correct.

In a nutshell: difference b/w BD1 from BD2.

In a nutshell the difference between the BD1 and BD2 is that the BD2 has more cargo room and a larger hydration bladder. The BD1 is more for shorter rides or endurance racing. The BD2 is great for all day freerides in the mountains.

BTW, says in your website, the GX2 model weights in at 34lbs... Well, how about GX1?

GX 1 weighs: 135g
GX 2 crabon weighs: 185g
GX 2 mag. weighs: 238g
