Festive Shredding

Here’s Nial on the Ragley Ti sending it at Storthes Hall downhill tracks. The snow was down and the ground was frozen hard. Nial is 12.

Yeah – I know it looks like shit, but there’s method in my madness. 198g. On the way to Guitar Ted.

This is the very first production weight bar out of the new carbon Carnegie bar mold – we’re working with an innovative layup procedure using different cloth type to most other bar manufacturers, to give a proper mountain-durable bar, rather than something that’s just good for testing in the lab. We’re interested in how it performs in lab tests, but we want it to be durable so we can replicate those tests after a year of riding and still get a pass.

Production is still some way off, surface finish detailing is next on our agenda. Ugly? Well – they always were anyhow.

Strong placing for Ragley in STW Awards

Yeah, OK, so we didn’t win. BUT! The Blue Pig got a glorious 2nd place to Orange’s Blood in the “Best New Bike” class, beating Specialized Epic Marathon – that’ll do us!

Additionally, 18 Bikes and Chain Reaction Cycles (both Ragley dealers) and Ed Oxley (who is one of our development riders) won their categories. So we can kind of say we sort of won overall. Probably.

Thanks to everyone that voted for us!
