![]() Crestline is aiming to release the RS 205 VHP by the end of September. The RS 205 VHP is a very limited offering, with only 50 numbered frames planned for production (and no complete models). ![]() Should you decide to set this bike up as an enduro, the idler pulley can be moved to a position that won’t interfere with pedalling. These highly tunable bikes can run dual or single crown forks, will come with dropout options for 29er or MX wheel setups, and the bike has a 56mm head tube so reach or angle adjust headsets are compatible. The frame is full carbon front and rear, and the links are CNC’d aluminum. They didn’t put an ‘M’ in the model name, but to be clear the bike actually employs a virtual mid-high pivot design. Using aftermarket Cascade Components links, the bike can be reduced (to various points) down to a minimum of 175mm travel. The RS 205 VHP (which stands for Rally Sport, 205mm travel, Virtual High Pivot) was designed as a downhill racing or bike park bike, but it can be set up as an enduro bike too. Since this bike is officially still under embargo I can’t divulge all the details yet, but I was permitted to share some photos and basic info. One unique thing about the long-travel bike is that it is being developed in collaboration with the folks at Cascade Components, who are assisting with suspension tuning by designing the links for the frame. These calipers use SRAM’s Code brake pads (or compatible) and can be serviced with their Bleeding Edge bleed kit.Īlso at the Cascade booth were two incoming bikes from Crestline – the highly adjustable long-travel RS 205 VHP MTB and an eMTB. They also say they manage heat better and reduce brake fade on long descents. The calipers are machined from 6061 T-6 aluminum.Ĭascade claims their calipers’ 16mm and 18mm pistons increase braking force by 20% over the stock versions. A close look reveals the new caliper leaves more material around the outside of the pistons, along with some slight re-shaping. ![]() These calipers have been available for a while, but the silver ones pictured here boast a recently updated design. I also got a hands-on look at Lezyne’s latest portable pump, and got the scoop on Maxxis’ new bike park specific tires.Ībove we see the most recent iteration of Cascade Components ’ North Fork aftermarket SRAM Code brake calipers. Cascade Components had several recently updated bits at their booth, not to mention a prototype from Crestline Bikes that they’ve collaborated with the brand in developing. ![]() It was nice to see big crowds and lots of expo booths back in Whistler at Crankworx 2022, and this article rounds up some of the more interesting items on display.
