e*thirteen announces the FREECHUCKER

This one is dedicated to all you Freechuckers out there.You know who you are...

The Freechucker is a new type of chain retention system inspired by every day riders who ride hard and ride frequently in muddy and low maintenance conditions. With no moving parts, dual bash protection, and an open mud-shedding design its truly a set-it-and-forget-it retention system. Plus, it works better than a locked out front derailleur.

Once again e*thirteen has pushed the limits of new technologies. Through advancing the same stamped steel manufacturing process used for the recently released SS+ and LS1+ e*thirteen has produced the most technologically advanced price conscience freeride chain retention system in the world. Just say Chuck It!

Coming soon!

e*thirteen East Coast Chronicles

This past summer Sicklines.com visited our office to meet the e*thirteen crew. We hung out, rode our bikes, enjoyed some brews, allowing Sicklines to really get to know the people of e*thirteen.

Michael Tobler had this to say about e*thirteen East Coast Chronicles; "We're excited to have the opportunity to let people know who we are. There has always been a general misconception that e*thirteen components is a large company. Quite the contrary, as e*thirteen is a small group of dedicated guys who love making some of the best products in the world - and then riding them! Our products have always been shaped in part by the demanding terrain and conditions found here on the East Coast of the USA, and those products have in turn helped to shape the sport of downhilling in ways that we never imagined. This story gives riders some insight into what it's like to be a small company building products in the USA, and the riding and terrain that helped to shape e*thirteen."

Taken from the Yeti DISPATCH today, e*thirteen is proud to announce that LG1+ equipped rider Jared Graves is the 2009 4x World Champion!

After years of garnering a reputation as the man to beat, Yeti-Fox rider Jared Graves takes home the rainbow stripes in four-cross and is crowned World Champion. This is sweet redemption for Jared as just one year ago, while leading the final at the 2008 World Champs, he was taken out from behind. Earlier this year, Jared wrapped up the World Cup overall title in 4X at Mt. Sainte Anne and secured double champion status in 2009. Congratulations Jared! Graves is also competing in the Elite Mens' downhill on Sunday.

Scott11 team, aboard LG1+ and GuideRings, victorious at the Swiss Championship

The historic city of Chur, along with its breathtaking views of the Alps, hosted the 2009 Swiss Championship. The long track and rain made for a challenging race preparation on Friday, yet on Saturday the sun was bright and made for a fantastic race day. Team Manager Claudio Caluori, a former Swiss Champion himself, sent the good news that Nick Beer won his third consecutive Swiss Championship! Also, Teammate Emilie Siegenthaler won the women's title. Their young gun Robin Hagen won his second consecutive silver medal in the Junior category. What a great way to spend their 'down time' between World Cup stops!
