As the weather is getting warmer we are getting more and more time on the bike, which means we can play about on some new stuff! Along with our long term MacMahone Emblem test, we’ll also be testing a number of other components. One of these is the Kowa 160ss suspension fork.
The model shown here is the current incarnation of the fork, a newer improved version will be available from the 21st of March, which is said to be stronger and also has some improvements.
Anyway we had a few minutes play around on the current Kowa this morning and were pretty impressed! Please bear in mind this is an initial impression, and by no means should be regarded as a full test (this is an on going test and we’ll post our conclusions when we have come to them).
