Ridden to success by Tom Pidcock, could Suntour’s TACT suspension be the ultimate setup for XC racing?

Suspension detail on Tom Pidcock's Pinarello Dogma XC race bike

We've already featured Tom Pidcock's Pinarello Dogma XC race bike on Bike Perfect, but now is your chance to buy the same suspension setup he used to win the first round of the XCO World Cup. SR Suntour has been in the suspension market since 1995 and features in our suspension brands outside the dominant two guide. For a long time, the brand specialized in budget suspension, but this latest release is set to change that.

The new TACT (not an acronym) system is aimed squarely at XC racers and comprises a fork and rear shock that are electronically controlled using pre-set parameters set up via the accompanying app. Unlike RockShox Flight Attendant It's a wired system and uses a battery and controller that's mounted onto a bottle cage. Pidcock and the guys at Ineos have a prototype version with a hidden battery, but that's currently not an option open for us mere mortals.
