Nicolas Vouilloz tests Bos enduro fork : the Deville
Dec/090
Bonjour,
Planned for release in march 2010 the deville is BOSs’ 6″ enduro fork. The Deville is set to blow out all the competition with a sub 2kg announced weight for a 6″ travel fork is at least 300grams lighter than the competition.
Since its first appearance at the Taipei bike show in march 2009 bos has been hard at work refining the product for a market that is one of the most demanding and wide spread. Bos wants to get this product 150% right for us enduro lovers! Part of this process is obviously real life testing and what better way to do it than with 8 times world champion Nicolas Vouilloz. And Nico seems to give it the tick of approval.
Enjoy!

Bos Review
2010 Bos Deville enduro fork!
Oct/091
The Deville is the first fork ever made by BOS for your trail duties.
It was developed in collaboration with Nicolas Vouilloz in order to offer trail riders a product that would meet the true needs of the discipline.
Bos’s mission statement was to come up with the perfect balance (at least close enough) between lightweight, stiffness, efficiency in downhills and the capacity to climb well. A target not easy to reach but after a lot of testing and hard work Bos came up with the Deville fork.
The Deville stands out :
160mm of travel, 34mm staunchions, allowing a solid compromise between a competitive weight with a considerable amount of stiffness. Just under the 2kg mark, Deville is by far the lightest in its category! Goes without saying that it is boasting a 20mm through axle facilitating a quick release system.
The Deville is pushing the barrier:
Running the known Bos damping set up well proven in dh, Deville naturally runs an open bath cartridge adjustable in high and low speed and rebound. All Bos owners will vouch for its optimal operation at all times! But Deville innovates when it comes down to climbing: Whilst the pedalling efficiency system remains top secret, we are able to tell you that the system doesn’t counteract the vital functions of the forks damping.
We will soon unveil the system but expect something more than just a lock out dial!
Deville is of good sort:
You’re entitled to your opinion when it comes down to looks! Bos particularly refined the finish of the fork with lowers that have dramatically evolved since the release of the first prototype in march 2009 during the Taipei show. The Crown will be thiner and the decals are yet to be finalized.
Let us know what you think.

First of all we would like to say a big thank for everyone who came and visited our booth and checked our products and be part of our Stromlo experience.
I personally had a great time and wished I had a chance to see more of the racing but needed to run the show in the pits instead. Nonetheless being amongst the riders and the excitment and anxiety that surrounds such an intense race was phenomenal.
My heart obviously went to Nathan and Mitch for a top of podium result but was happy with the outcome either. Nathan surprised everybody with his result especially with two swollen wrists and four stitches on the back of his hand. No matter what people say that guy deserve respect and has an incredible ability of blowing everybody away. As far as i know he was the only running a 40t chainring on the weekend (they don’t call him the stopper for nothing).
And Good old Mitch went out for the fans with a marvelous one hander over the triple treat jumps. What a crowd pleaser! i wish i had been there to experience the vibe from the crowd.
Anyway i hope you had as much fun as we did in Stromlo and that you got as burnt as i did hehe.
Sincerely,
Nicho
We wanted to share a few photos we were able to get here and there from the internet from the riding and our set up.
