The new Torsion Box lower legs are cast out of two pieces of magnesium. They are press fitted and offer better stiffness than one-piece legs and DT’s previous carbon lowers, but at a much lower price. The only cost is a 60g to 100g weight gain; for example, the XMC 100mm Race carbon model weighs 1,440g versus the new XMM magnesium version at 1,490g.
“Now everything [in the trail/enduro line] will be in the $600-$1,000 range, even with the carbon lowers.”
