A tapered head tube and steerer tube system. E2 allows the lightweight benefits of a traditional 1 1/8" with the stiffness of a 1.5". By tapering from a 1 1/2" lower bearing to a 1 1/8" upper bearing, E2 allows the lightweight benefits of a traditional 1 1/8� with the stiffness of a 1.5", to give better high-speed stability, more precise steering and more control in all situations.
How it works.The fork of a bike is like a lever. Trail obstacles seek to push and twist that lever far away from where it attaches to the bike. E2 puts more material at the lower race, where it matters most. Its internally and externally tapered frame and fork technology increases strength and stiffness over a 1 1/8" system by 27%, while reducing the headset and stem weight over a 1 1/2" system by more than half a pound. In addition, E2's integrated headset provides a lower center of gravity and a more comfortable bike.
Active Suspension Under BrakingABP is a revolutionary, patent-pending technology found on every Fuel EX from the EX 7 and above. ABP offers better, more effective braking, resulting in higher speed and more control. Unlike most rear suspension systems that are compromised with the brakes applied (causing braking to interfere with suspension activation), bikes with ABP allow the suspension to remain active while braking
How it works.Every suspension system is a complex geometric design. The quality of a bike's braking, pedaling and suspension can change as the system moves through its travel. While most bikes stiffen under braking, ABP effectively separates brake effect from suspension activation, allowing the most active suspension under braking.
What it does for you.
Take a ride over rough terrain, with stutter bumps or anything requiring braking and feel the difference of ABP:
- Better braking
- Better suspension performance
- Stiffer design
- Faster speed
- More control
Una Trek Remedy 2010, és una molt bona bike.
ResponEliminaLes millores com la de la pipa de direcció cònica i la independència del fre posterior del comportament de la suspensió, són dues millores notables.
Fora de Kona i fa dies que no ho veig, i de Foes, en bikes de serie el tema de la independència entre la frenada i la suspensió posterior no és per a mi freqüent i sí eficient, fent referència al comportament dinàmic baixant.
Les forquilles còniques són per a mi una incògnita, però crec que és una millora notable pel que fa referència a la rigidesa del tren davanter.
Millores les dues que si les sumes, baixant et donen una posició guanyadora per gaudir minut a minut.
Les forquilles còniques en aquest tipus de bike, són per a mi una sorpresa agradable.
El sistema ABP (Active Braking Pivot) no sols el porta la Remedy si no tota la gama de dobles suspensió de Trek: Top Fuel, Fuel EX, Scratch, Session... i com no podia ser d'altre manera per el fet de ser de la mateixa família ara també a les Gary Fisher: Hi-Fi, Superfly, Rumblefish...
ResponEliminaQuan a les forquilles còniques son una millora de rigidesa, pro cal que esdevingui un “standard” perquè si vols canviar-la no sempre trobaràs el model que t'interessa.
Michael, tens un Drac amb molta “Treknology” i que et donarà grans satisfaccions!
Apart from looking good the E2 Head feels stiff and strong. Still I will need many more test rides to get dialled into the bike as a complete package but I am going to enjoy every ride until I get there.
ResponEliminaThe important thing in the ABP is the pivot is housed within the bike. This means you can use any hub and wheel set. This is what riders want in technology. The improvements but not limiting the rider to components.
Tr@il Treknology is like my bible. MTB MTB MTB!!!
Hi Mike, I will not talk about thecnical aspects, as you, Lagranevasio and Trail already did.....but wanted to talk about JOSE GONZALEZ....incredible what this guy is doing on the mtb world, with the experience he alrady has on the Bike.
ResponEliminaI was surprised, when I started to hear the video, he did not sound like an Spaniard....lot of years in the USA !!!!
Apart from the name I couldnt tell he was a spaniard! He is doing good things in the biking world and it shows he is in demand when Trek employeed him.
