Quarq is the electronic widget division of the SRAM Corporation. It’s where all the data acquisition nerds gather to design what they call “invisible” electronics to harvest useful data and improve your ride. Their products are used to measure everything from power output to tire pressure, and in this case, to measure suspension vectors to hone-in your suspension setup. Elite racers have been using suspension data acquisition equipment for years. But until recently, the systems have been clunky, hyper-expensive, and really only designed for professional engineers and race teams. Quarq has taken that same technology and packaged in in a lightweight little black box that fits in the palm of your hand, and mounts neatly to the back of your fork or side of your rear shock for inconspicuousness sake. We zap-strapped a couple of these little wonder squares to one of our test bikes to see if they could truly deliver the “wizard tune.”

From The Loam Wolf
The Loam Wolf has been watching from the woods and mountains above, waiting for the right time to attack the status quo. We have descended, hell-bent and heaven-sent to reignite the stoke in riders around the world. Our pack has been growing and we smell blood. The passion, wildness, and grassroots love for our sport will no longer go without a voice. The Wolf Pack is here, and we will do our best to unite photographers, industry friends, athletes and mountain bikers of all kinds while giving them a voice and place to remember why they fell in love with riding bikes.
