RACE FACE'S SIXC is an old favourite and the new version has become an instant go-to test upgrade. The literal big difference is an increase in width to 785mm (from 750mm), which puts serious swagger into your steering.
The nine-degree sweep translates into even more
leverage and a cheesy 'come on, try it' grin whatever's heading your way. The
four-degree upsweep keeps the front wheel loaded and locked on target, and the
control/comfort balance is superb. It's impressively light despite reinforced
clamp sections and DH strength, and there's a stiffer, lighter, wider 35mm
diameter version too.
