Nicely balanced wheels that tick all the right boxes in terms of weight, price and performance

Great review on Road.cc of the Reynolds Assault wheelset.

Verdict : Fast, zingy carbon clinchers, with confidence-inspiring braking. They're stiff enough for criteriums and light enough for the mountains. At half the price of the Zipp equivalent, I'm sold

2011 product line is concise but well thought out and caters for all MTB disciplines from XC through to Downhill racing. Full details on the product line www.xfusionshox.com

X-Fusion forged it’s success in the heavily contested OE specification sector where brands live or die by build quality and reliability. Highly respected the X-Fusion line will be seen on even more key brands in future including Specialized, Cube, Cannondale and Ghost. X-Fusion are now also pushing into the aftermarket. The brand’s key selling point is shown as best quality with good value. X-Fusion offers a real alternative in the suspension market for performance seeking riders.

First product is expected to land in May. Service of suspension components is key to the success of any brand in this sector. Upgrade is setting up the UK service centre for all X-Fusion products, taking over from the previous European service centre in Germany who are training Upgrade’s mechanics in every aspect of the products. Upgrade will carry a full line of spares and tools and offer a fast turn-around service.

The service centre will be up and running asap - but realistically this will be mid May 2011.
