Bos Deville “inside out”.
Jun/100
Hey Guys,
Deville is the very first enduro fork produced by Bos. It has been developped in order to get a very accurate fork for all the enduro riders. Our engi- neers have been mainly focused on three axles : getting a lightweight fork, quite stiff, and efficient in downhill, but also when it’s time to climb ! You get the result now. All the lucky guys who could ride it, felt really enth usiast about its behaviour. Devil- le is remarquable by its dimensions : 34mm stan- chions and 160 mm travel : a package that brings a good balance between stifness and reasonable weight. By the way, Deville is one of the lightest 160 mm forks available. But Deville, as a true Bos fork, also features a very performing hydraulic sys- tem, based on an open bath cartridge, fully ad- justable. This should bring a good chassis control ! And for the pedaling efficiency, Deville inovates with the TRC, for Twin Rate Curve. This system does not block the fork, and does not change the geometry of the bike. By increasing the rate very quickly it reduces the travel, but allows the fork to keep efficient on small bumps, without moving up and down while pedaling. In case of unexpected big hit, the fork is still works. This system is incre- dibly efficient once on the track, as noticed by all the riders. A must test as soon as possible !

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!
