DVO is short for “Developed Suspension” and represents the mindset we
have to engineer, design, and deliver fully developed suspension
products that are 100%.
30 Years plus industry veteran Bryson Martin owner of Bryson Martin
Racing along with Tom Rogers, John Pelino, Josh Baltaxe and Bryson
Martin Jr will launch DVO Developed Suspension during the Taiwan Bike
Week held in Taichung Taiwan November 2012. We will have a booth at the
Splendor Hotel in Taichung during Bike Week.
Bryson and his team were long time Marzocchi employees; they left in
May 2012 amid struggles with Tenneco upper management and the direction
of the mountain bike suspension business. Bryson Martin was the
founder of Marzocchi USA and was the inspiration for the successful
Bomber line as well as many other iconic models over the past 23 years.
“After losing our supplier SR Suntour and not having a back up plan, I
felt that the future with Marzocchi will be extremely difficult and
going my own direction with my own suspension program is the way” said
Bryson Martin”.
The new DVO Suspension Team consists of Tom Rogers who is a long time
industry veteran and former World Cup racer. Tom worked at Manitou for
ten years during their glory days and then nearly ten years at
Marzocchi focusing on damper designs. John Pelino was at Marzocchi for
16 years handling operations, after market sales and distribution
support. Josh Baltaxe has a graduate degree in Engineering and is a
passionate bike rider; he brings the brains and science to all our
designs. Bryson Martin Jr is a pro DH racer and business student and
will help in tuning, marketing and race support.
Bryson along with his USA based engineering team brings over 80 years
of suspension building experiencing and will launch some very cool and
innovative suspension products purely focused on the long travel
market. “We started with a clean sheet of paper but didn’t look to
re-invent the wheel, we addressed some critical areas of current
suspension design to enhance performance while making it easier for the
consumer to tune or service their own fork if desired”
“We will also launch a very informative web site helping riders
better understand the dynamics of suspension in general while providing
extensive information on tuning and setting up all of the DVO
products”. “Providing detailed and informative information on our web
site and backing up our products with excellent customer service and
support is key!”
Regarding the competition, it has been a long time since a new
company has entered the high-end suspension business of this magnitude,
both Rock Shox and Fox the industry leaders have been doing a great job
for years. “We feel that the dominance of Fox and Rock Shox has been
because there hasn’t been enough good competitors to give them a run for
their money and DVO Suspension will be gunning for the top”.
