Echo ti pro carbon

That looks pretty cool! Echo have definitely stepped it up graphics wise.

Kinda looks like Neon wing?

But I like the fact they're putting some, been so many years that they just anodize the frame.

This has so many improvements over the version they released this year!

Echo is moving forward and quickly!

Those new SL cranks must be quite good.

The new SL disc brakes with reservoir, I think they have more power than the last version.

And the best it taper fork and that kinda beefy CNC booster/brake mount.

Well, we'll see how the whole bike holds up, but looks promising.

I hear they custom specced the 'Ardent' logo on the rear tyre to have a similar effect too.

I wanted to go onto their site to check out the other new shit they've got, and after failbussing my way to echobike.com I just googled them. Second result was "EchobikesUSA" - quite the website: http://www.echobikesusa.com/ Favourite heading is "Live without us"...

It's 2015 are front discs back in fashion for stock bikes? Interesting to see how the carbon forks will perform compared to their super strong range of forks they have produced in the past. Finish looks cool!

The grounds that echo can't even make a set of forks out of aluminium that last longer than 30 seconds never mind carbon.

Echo don't actually make these forks or any carbon parts for that matter.

To put things straight. One of the test riders for these new forks is my friend Karol Serwin, one of Echo's team riders. He's a World Cup rider and has been testing this fork for around half a year now. His prototype is lighter than the light fork (Echo make two versions, strong and light). So far the fork is holding up great and has outperformed everything Karol has used in the past in terms of stiffness and durability. Many of the riders who ride with him want these forks bad. Even bashers who get through Trialtech forks too quickly for their liking are looking into them.

You can watch him riding the fork here:
