Nukeproof launch prototype dirt jump frame

Less than a month after the release of our Rook slopestyle bike we’re excited to bring you news of our prototype dirt jump frame.

An ongoing development project with newly signed Nukeproof rider Jack Fogelquist, the frame uses custom triple-butted steel tubing with a 44mm headtube, gold anodised alloy chain tension adjusters, an integrated gold alloy seat clamp and removable cable guides.

The frame, available in regular and long, is designed around a 100mm travel fork and uses geometry based on Jack’s personal setup. Priced at around the $600.00 mark we’ll be unveiling the full production model at this year’s Eurobike show.

We are slowly becoming experts on the best bicycles to convert to electric power and we’ve opted to set up for a special sale the APOLLO SHADOW (full specs here). It’s a really good Australian bicycle that came out for a while with a Nexus 7-speed internal hub gear. It really keeps the bicycle very simple with no derailleur and is extremely robust. The conversion kit went together great, we tried both with the rack battey and the Panasonic tube battery and the tube was obviously the best in terms of handling and light weight. We have just a few in stock . Usually, this electric bicycle would retail for $1870 but it will be on special for a couple of months for $1450. The only remaining sizes available from APOLLO with the internal gear have a large frame size, it suits riders from about 170cm to 188cm. The range with light pedalling will be about 30-40km and it’s speed is around 28km/h.

Please come into our Cottesloe Cycles store if you’d like to take one for a test ride. We’re sure you’ll be pretty impressed.

We started work well before Christmas and are now seeing the start of what we hope is a great product for cyclists everywhere and every discipline!

It all started with our employees and team riders getting frustrated with light systems that just weren’t bright enough or strong enough to use for proper off road riding. Even when you pay a good chunk of money to get what is considered the best in the market. Then there was the issue of our customer base also wanting something better from a high end lighting product. This was the beginning of CCR Racing, although the name wasn’t bred until much later.

After many months of testing, reworking, re-testing and ironing out the little bugs that came up we ended with a kit including:

Head Light,  31.8 light bracket, 25.4 bracket, Screw connections , Double skinned batteries, Clear button, Rubber battery suround.

As an idea of the level our light sets went to in testing, we had the lights left on while immersed in water, to make sure it wouldn’t fail if ridden in heavy rain. Tested both on road situations and off road situations. Thought went into ventilation for the LED with O rings to seal the electrics.And screw on connections for superior sealing and connections.

Our charger has been completely SAA approved, and the ventilation finalised on  the head to avoid the LED over heating.

The ventilation was a big issue for us, with the ventilation ports it opened the light set up to the elements, but without them we didn’t want to run the risk of closing the vents off and not allowing the LED to cool, which would mean issues with longevity of the light. An issue we didn’t want. After discussions with the team building the light we decided to leave the vents in and increase the security with an O-ring fitted inside the head to protect the circuits. This now means that the light not only cools by letting heat out but air rushing past the vents while riding increasing the cooling effect. Which is only a good thing.

The light set is finished with a neat, tidy unit, well ventilated, and ready to attack all your local trails, and maybe even go with you while you search for newer places to travel and ride!

This is a short story about the work, and testing that went into creating the light set, a lot more went on behind the scenes, with tests for our team, friends and employees, A lot of emails and meetings over many months, to bring cyclist a light set that is built specifically for cyclists.

We love the new Aurum 2 down hill bike from Norco, but some of our feedback has been mixed about the rear xfusion shock, so we have worked out a deal with Rockshox to settle it once and for all.

For a limited time we are offering a current model rockshox vivid R2C coil shock and spring FREE with every Norco Aurum 2 sold.

So thats a $500.00 top of the range rear shock for free!
