BOS S** Toy Review

BOS Engineering shocks, with Olivier Bossard at the helm, have been on more senior men’s downhill World Championship-winning bikes than any other brand of suspension. Their custom dampers and forks, initially developed for 10 times world champion Nicolas Vouilloz, were not readily available to the public “back in the day” due to their prohibitive cost and custom-tuned nature.

    Dropping their biggest issue ever for summer 2009, [R]evolution 15 comes loaded to the hilt! 18 year old Adelaide local Tim Burford gets things rolling on the cover with a monster superman flip, then we've got a huge exclusive with 'Downhills Most Wanted', the Trek Session 88 and Intense M6. Pro Opinion is back and we’ve got our own little take on a traditional 'How To' story, with assistance from Kovarik, Soininen and Allan. Josh Button gets a full blown interview, as does the 'SRAM Search for a Freerider' winner, Aussie Hicks. We also have the regular diaries from Rando, Bryn, Niki and Jacobs, have a chat with Minnaar, check out round 1 of the Aussie National Series, as well as a sneak peak at a handful of the latest bikes and proddy including a nice little 'tyre' special spread. To top it all off there’s the token large bunch of free schwag up for grabs. Git Sum!
