Öhlins has announced the release of its new RXC34 m.1 fork and TXCAir shock. It means the brand finally has a thoroughbred cross-country race product to complete its line-up.
Building on the racing success of its downhill and enduro forks, the components in the new XC range have been designed to work together. They’re claimed to boast superior handling and precise steering to enable riders to push their limits on ever more technical XCO World Cup tracks with the latest XC race bikes .
