PRESS RELEASE: North American MTB brand Transition Bikes to be distributed by Windwave

PRESS RELEASE

North American MTB brand Transition Bikes to be distributed by Windwave.

Transition Bikes has announced Windwave as their new UK distributor. Windwave will begin distributing Transition Bikes with its 2015 model year bikes. Transition is a rider owned company founded in 2004 located outside Bellingham, WA. Their product line-up has expanded rapidly in the past years, but they are best known for their freeride, downhill and enduro bike models "Our bikes have always been popular in the UK, and every time I fly across the pond for a visit I remember why," said Transition International Sales Manager, Sam Burkhardt. "The UK riding scene has a lot in common with the Pacific Northwest; our mountains might be a bit bigger, but the trails in the UK are really awesome, and our bikes are a perfect fit for the market," said Burkhardt.

“We are stoked to have Windwave signed on to help us grow the brand to another level in the UK. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank Surf Sales for all their hard work over the past few years,” said Kyle Young, Transition Bikes owner.

Windwave marketing manager Dan Jones said:

“We have been long-time admirers of Transition Bikes with their amazing marketing style and company values; we are all really excited to be working with the Transition team starting with the 2015 models."

Transition will release info about its 2015 bikes during the Eurobike trade show in Germany this August. Windwave will begin to supply the UK dealer network around this same time. All current model year inquiries should be directed to Surf-Sales or Transition Bikes directly.

Windwave is a co-founder of the Core Bike Show and will add Transition to their existing portfolio of A2Z, BBB, Colnago, Dainese, FSA, Gravity, Ice Toolz, Marzocchi, Morgan Blue, Nokon and Vision.

Press Release: FSA K-Force Light BB386EVO

FSA has always been committed to developing new technologies for their products. Over the past 2 years, FSA engineers and designers have revolutionized the next generation of the K-Force Light cranksets. 
The K-Force Light crankset has always had all the features necessary to win races and impress those who ride them. Those features include light weight, high stiffness and direct power transfer. 
Although previous designs of this model crankset have won numerous podiums at the highest level of racing, FSA engineers were still not satisfied.

The goal was to increase stiffness, optimize shifting precision, and decrease weight. The solution was a total change in the design of the product in order to reach these goals. 
FSA Engineers knew that the power applied through a 360� rotation is not constant. The load peaks when the leading crank-arm is horizontal. For this reason, FSA engineers added a 5 bolt asymmetric spider (with one bolt hidden behind the crank arm) putting more chainring bolts where the stress is highest. In addition, newly designed 3D forged ABS chainrings have optimized teeth profiles and shift ramps which result in faster, smoother, and more precise shifting. 
This new configuration allows an increase in the stiffness of the crankset, giving huge benefits to both riding and shifting. 
The hidden bolts and a masked spindle result in clean, elegant, and aerodynamically efficient surface.
