Core Bike is a small UK bike show crammed full of new and exciting product. MBR's tech editor unearthed even more gear and also visited The Bike Place, another independent show right around the corner. Here are the highlights

Check out part one of our Core Bike coverage here.

DMR Flats for under £20

dmr v6 II

Plastic flat pedals are affordable and lightweight but few have the same grip levels or bearing quality as their more expensive alloy cousins. DMR’s new V6 could change all that – it has a concave shape, deep pin design and two, smooth running internal bushings. A stack of colours and cheap too – £17.95.

Lacondeguy Signature Vault pedals

DMR is also working with 2104 Red Rampage winner Andreu Lacondeguy on a signature model. It’s will retail for £129.99 and has a truly stunning fluid colour scheme.

661 Budget Full Face

661 comp

Fancy a spot of DH but don’t want to spend £300 on a top-end full face? Take a look at 661’s new Comp helmet – sleek, seven colours and a bargain at £64.99.

661 evo

Also from 661 is the Evo Am in a fancy Le Mans colourway. Apparently it apes the colour of the Martini sponsored race cars used at Le Mans in the 70s and 80s.

Long and Low

transition

The Transition Patrol is a 160mm (front) and 155mm (rear) travel, 27.5in wheeled, all-mountain ripper. It’s available as a frame only for £1499. 95 but the UK importer is also offering three killer value build kits.

E13 Wheel Deal

e13 rims and valves

The idea behind the machining on E13’s new LEX Generation rims is extra material is removed from the area around the spokes holes under the least amount of tension and in a rear wheel that’s on the none-drive side. The new design will feature on E13’s TRSr (trail and enduro) wheels for 2015 and to get you up and running the rims will be taped for tubeless and include a bottle of E13’s new Tire Plasma sealant, some cool machined vales and an XD driver at no extra charge!

Cheaper Marzocchi

marzocchi 350

Marzocchi is dropping the price of it 160mm travel 350 forks for 2015. The 350 CR is now £429, down a £150 from last year. The company has also added a titanium coil sprung fork to the range called the 350 NCR Ti.

Crank Bros Custom Colours

Fox Custom Decals

fox forks

Customise any fork and shock in the Fox range with these Heritage decals. Yours for as as little as £20.

Radical Narrow/Wide Chainring

mrp wave ring

Any company that makes chainrings probably has a narrow wide in the pipeline but few are likely to be the same as MRP’s new Wave ring. Rather than the teeth being thick and thin, the Wave’s are offset to one another but apparently this is just as effective at chain retention. The Wave us available in 104bcd and 110bcd and also direct mount for SRAM cranks. Sizes range from 28 to 42t depending on the interface.

Green Light

yeti green

Yeti bikes are normally available in a traditionally company Turquoise but the new 27.5in wheeled, 157mm travel SB6c, also comes in this vibrant green. It features the new Switch Infinity Technology suspension design and the C in the name stands for full carbon. Frame only price, a cool £3099!
