Dartmoor Bikes
Dartmoor's Trail Ring, Roots grip, and petrol coated Micron stem are all new for 2014.Dartmoor is entering the narrow wide chain ring market with their Trail Ring, which will initially be available for cranks with a 104 BCD in 32, 34, and 36 tooth versions. A 30 tooth version is also in the works. Constructed from 7075 aluminum and weighing in at 45.4 grams for the 34t version, the ring is expected to retail for $44.99 when it hits the market sometime in the next two months.
The new Roots lock-on grips are constructed from a soft rubber compound with an extra deep pattern on the underside, a design intended to provide extra traction in wet conditions. With an external diameter of 32mm, these grips are thicker than most lock-on offerings. MSRP: $29.99.
Dartmoor launched their
petrol chrome plated Cody dirt jump frame last year at Eurobike, and now they've expanded the limited edition finish to their dirt jump stems and hubs. The aluminum Micron stem comes in a 30mm length and is only compatible with 25.4mm handlebars. MSRP: $79.99

BOX Components
BOX Components' new 35mm handlebar and Cusp stem.BOX Components were exhibiting their uniquely shaped 35mm carbon handlebar that departs from the typical round profile most riders are accustomed to seeing. The portion on each side of the area clamped by the stem resembles a hexagon with a rounded bottom portion, and there is an additional protrusion on the top of the bar. BOX says this design isn't any stronger than a traditionally shaped bar - it's done purely for aesthetic purposes. The bars will be available in three different versions - a 700mm flat bar, and a 780mm length with either 15 or 25mm of rise. Weights are expected to range from 145 to 180 grams depending on the configuration. MSRP: $139 USD. To accompany their new handlebars, BOX also had a new stem for 35mm handlebars called the Cusp that will be available in 45, 55, and 65mm lengths, along with a direct mount stem for use with dual crown forks.

and Ibex.Onza's Greina tire is the company's wet weather specialist, with widely spaced knobs designed to dig in and grip in the nastiest conditions around. 26 x 2.25" and 26 x 2.4" versions are offered, with weights ranging from 730 to 1050 grams. We were pleasantly surprised by the performance of Onza's Ibex tires when we first encountered them on our
Mondraker Dune test bike, and for 2014 the number of size options is expanding, with a 27.5 x 2.25" version and a 29 x 2.25" version joining the 27.5 x 2.4" version.
