This month’s Tech spotlight be-longs to Jessica from Brea, Cali-fornia. She barrels down the SoCal trails on her 2008 Lux Sport.When asked about the handlingcapabilities she said it “respondsvery well.” She has put in over 400 miles on her Lux Sport byriding at least 2-3 times a week.By our estimation, with all thatriding, she’ll be ready for a Mis-sion by next Tuesday! She didmention, however, that before she takes the leap to a Mission or Sor-tie she would like to become a little more comfortable with downhill.Jessica, thank you so much for sharing you experiences on the LuxSport with us.

Since the locationof the Knuckle Box lies just above the bottom bracket, it creates a lowcenter of gravity, providing the rider with an insane amount of stabilityand control. Right here is where we could break off into a technical rantand attempt to mathematically explain why the Knuckle Box platform isso great, but honestly why take our word for it? Get out and try it for yourself! Conquer your terrain and see where you end up. That’s whatDirt Rag’s Eric McKeegan is doing right now.
