Inpulse is a new brand on the trials scene that appeared on the ever-expanding market at the end of last year (see Inpulse Racing Bikes). Launched by Elite rider Cédric Fontenoy, Inpulse is the result of a lot of planning and development. Cédric has been producing his own bikes for several years now and the current incarnation is something quite special. He therefore decided to realise his dream and create his own trials brand, with his brother Aurélian, the N°1 rider in the Rhône-Alpes region, one of the best Elite riders in France and in the World (Junior 20" & 26" World Champion in 2007, 4thin the European Championship in Zoertemeer and 6th in the Canberra World Championship en 2009), as ambassador!
The 26” model, the R26, became available a couple of weeks ago and the R20 is now also available. Here is a closer look at the R26 – just what is it that sets it apart from its competitiors? Firstly, its specific design that optimises stiffness at the rear end thanks to it’s long stays and double seat tube. The chain tensioning system seems equally well thought out; simple, compact, out of the way of knocks and very light. The integrated BB is also a nice touch, guaranteeing optimum protection whichever foot is forward. The head tube, as with most currently available trials bikes, has been cut away, but so has the BB shell! Below are the photos, specifications and info on this new 26” bike.
