The Cowichan Cycles Demo Library

Every now and then a new, exciting product is released claiming to offer any number of benefits to your riding. Sometimes these products do, in fact, make the difference they claim, but the investment in the product can be too much to take a blind risk on. Enter: the Cowichan Cycles Demo Library. From the O-chain to ergonomic grips, you can try before you buy to see the difference for yourself. 

In order to demo one of the below products, reach out and we will set up an appointment to install the component and get you out on the trails to give it a try. There's no charge to demo, only a charge for the time to install and a late fee, if applicable. If you end up purchasing after demo, then the install fee is waived.

O-Chain Device 

The Ochain is a groundbreaking adjustment mechanism that allows you to seamlessly switch your bike's setup using just your hand. Effortlessly transition between different degrees of freedom: locked, 4, 6, 9, or 12 degrees without the need for tools or disassembly. From Pinkbike: [This] allow[s] the chainring to rotate backwards...[and] that rearward rotation helps to minimize the amount of chain flail and pedal kickback that a rider feels - the result is a calmer, quieter ride."

RevGrips Race Series Suspension Grips

RevGrips are a premium lock-on grip that allow for a minute amount of twisting action, providing a little smidge of suspension, which works to reduce arm pump and hand fatigue. The Inner Diameter of the Grip is approximately 1/8 of an inch larger than the Outside Diameter of the handlebar and is "suspended" in an elastomer on each side of the grip. This unique design allows the Grip to work WITH your hands, isolated from shock and vibration, and independent of your handlebar. Tuning washers are placed between the Grip Sleeve and Clamp to customize feel and performance so you can allow your grip to "move" as little or as much as desired (just like a fork or shock). 

SQLab 611 Ergowave 2.1 Saddle 

The 611 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 is designed to meet the requirements of all-mountain and enduro riding. The saddle's wave-like shape and raised rear ensure perfect rearward support and optimum pressure distribution down to the deep structures of the body, which significantly improves power transmission to the pedal.

The lowered nose, in combination with the recess in the middle, creates more space and clearance for the perineal area for both women and men. The padding material has been specially adapted to the requirements of MTB and has more damping in rough terrain. High-quality Kevlar cover protects the particularly stressed areas on the saddle.

Specialized Power Comp with Mimic Saddle 

The Power Comp saddle features a stiff, carbon-reinforced shell and a Body Geometry design that caters to all riders. Where it differs, however, is a matter of rails—Cr-Mo rails to be exact. This means that you sacrifice some weight savings, but otherwise, you receive the same superior performance in all seating positions—especially aggressive ones. Proven through blood flow testing and pressure mapping, and featuring our medium-grade Level 2 PU padding, the extra wide and elongated Body Geometry channel and proper sit bone support provides all-day comfort.

MIMIC Technology, originally designed to work best with female anatomy, uses multilayered materials to maintain equilibrium and minimize swelling in soft tissue.
