Freeride components testing

Our good old friend Junior from FreeWay decided to test a couple of Octane One parts in his NS Soda FR bike. He has been using the new EVO Chainguide and EVO chainring for quite a while and soon will send us a full review.

Here is a small sneak peek with a couple of riding photos.

Octane One – Dirt/Street components

New, refreshed and stylish. Check out what we have prepared for the 2014 season in the dirt and street parts department at Octane One.

 

Chemical 25.4 stem

Proven at many top FMB events. Incredibly strong, stiff and lightweight. With a really low profile can be also used upside down to lower the cockpit height. Works great with a gyro hydraulic rotor as seen on Sam Pilgrim’s bikes.

Rocker, Pivotal and Combo seats

Following the trends in the saddle department the 2014 Combo features FAT Padding and wider profile for better comfort. The Pivotal seat is also wider then before and received a stronger base construction which prevents damage like cracked or bent seat nose. The Rocker received a slightly narrower profile with mid-thick padding. Now the lighter and smoother Rocker is an ideal all-round seat.

seats

Integral headset

Brand new headset for alloy frames like Octane One Zircus and NS Bikes Decade. Equipped with durable sealed bearings and CNC machined crown race with a special cut allowing super easy installation. All Octane One headsets come with a star nut and a set of spacers.

hs

Bolt-On grips

Must have grips for all high-end dirt/street bikes. Equipped with two aluminium bolt collars that keep them firmly fixed in place. Made from quality Kraton soft rubber with super comfortable mushroom style pattern. Available in two sizes with a long 145mm version for wide bars.

grips

Static Pro pedals

Completely redesigned for 2014. Feature light & strong big size / low profile CNC’ed platform built on high quality sealed bearings & bushings. Thanks to their great grip and super low weight (405g) can be used for dirt, street as well as freeride and downhill.

pedals

3PCS / 3PCS Pro / 2PCS cranks

Light and strong cranks proven over the years. Feature smooth looks and durability thanks to their square profiles. In 2014 offered without the bottom bracket assembly which is now sold separately in all popular Spanish, Euro and external standards.
