Both in 1996 and 1997, the Pulsar MTB team rode the Gazelle Titanium Pro. In 1996, the Gazelle mountain bikes were marketed under the Next by Gazelle brand name, but in 1997 Gazelle was back on the down tube. In both years, the team used fixed forks and Gerard Rond suspension forks. In ’96 it was a straight fixed titanium fork but it did not give any comfort at the front so in ’97 a bent steel fork was mounted as shown in the picture.
