Hayes Bicycle Group launched a new collection of Trail Wheels from Reynolds and a new Manitou dropper post. 

Hayes makes a slew of wheels, brakes, bars/stems, and suspension systems for XC, Trail, Enduro, and Downhill biking. Bridging the gap between XC speed and Enduro tough, Reynolds trail wheels will leave you with confidence-inspiring precision and control. Manufactured and designed by Industry Nine and Ringlé, the precision hubs set the bar in mountain bike wheel performance. All Reynolds Trail wheels are available with the most current Shimano and SRAM freehub bodies.

These wheels feature 100% CNC machined Reynolds/Industry Nine Hydra hubs with 6-pawl, .52-degree engagement, Sapim CX-Ray spokes, and aluminum nipples.

Jack Dropper Post, and Mara Rear Shock

Manitou Jack Dropper Post

The Manitou Jack dropper post features a cartridge bearing for smooth, precise operation and three drop options – 185mm, 160mm, and 80mm – for improved handling when you need it. To further demonstrate the serviceability of Manitou products, the Jack dropper cartridge can be fully rebuilt to replace bushing and seals when the time comes, keeping the smoothest post on the market feeling like it’s brand new. The 80mm Jack features a shorter overall length at 320mm, for use on youth performance, Gravel, and XC applications; while providing an actuated auto-reset function when the post is in the fully dropped position. Manitou: Science of Smooth.

Available in 30.9 and 31.6mm diameters, the Jack includes a Manitou cable head which is the same dimension of a cable clamp, allowing all the cable tension adjustment to be completed on the lever side.

Manitou Mara Pro 

A rear shock worthy of world-class performance. Mara Pro was designed in conjunction with the Mezzer fork for hard-charging applications, like Enduro and All Mountain. Proven reliability with a bevy of adjustments enables the most technical riders to find their sweet spot.
