The town of Finale Ligure on the Italian Riviera was the location for Round 8 of the Enduro World Series at the weekend, and we were there soaking up the sun and checking out the trails. We also took a look at some of the rider set ups and prototype products that were on show in the EWS pits.
The weekend was won by GT Factory Racing's Martin Maes on his GT Sanction and we took a close look over his bike yesterday, but finishing third overall was Nico Lau of CUBE Action Team. Along with his teammate Greg Callaghan, Lau was among a small minority of riders still using two chainrings in Finale.

Both were also riding Cube’s Stereo 140mm 29er, fitted with Shimano Di2 2x11 gearing.
It also looked like Lau was sporting a prototype version of Fox’s Float X shock. Look closely, perhaps very closely, and you’ll notice the piggyback reservoir is a slightly different shape to the current version. More obviously, there’s a blue dial at the base of the piggyback, perhaps to adjust the volume or pressure of the IFP chamber to tune the bottom-out characteristics.
