Gamut has released a new version of the P30 chainguide, and at a claimed weight of 222 grams, the P30 is pretty impressive right out of the gate. In order to achieve this welterweight status, Gamut trimmed a lot of material from the polycarbonate bash ring, and the result is a 25% lighter piece which Gamut [...]

Trek has been producing and marketing LeMond bikes under a licencing agreement since 1995, but the partnership has lately turned into a legal fiasco, [...]

Fresh off of yesterday’s news that Ellsworth will be unveiling a new Moment at this year’s Sea Otter, comes the announcement that Elka Suspension is jumping into the mountain bike suspension game.

Rocky Mountain is pretty proud of its bike line these days, and for good reason. The Slayer is one of the best built all-mountain bikes going, and the Flatline is positively badass. However, Rocky seems to feel that not enough people have actually thrown a leg over its bikes lately, and is launching the Rocky [...]

Spyder is a company which most people would associate with shredding powder rather than shredding singletrack, but Spyder is hoping to transfer their expertise from one gravity sport to another. Their latest attempt at winning over the mountain bike crowd comes in the form of “d3o”, which is billed as “intelligent padding.” The run-down on [...]

With April Fool’s now come and gone, there were a handful of bike-related news items floating around. Some were definitely funnier (and more convincing) than others, so we’ve scraped together some of the better ones for their entertainment value. GM purchases Specialized This was the big one on April Fool’s, and the blasphemous story was picked up [...]
Some great footage of Cam McCaul sessioning the Hood River gap while filming for NWD 9.
A nice flashback to the 2006 riding scene, NWD7 has held up to the test of time surprisingly well. The riding is great, and the filming shows why the NWD series is still going strong. If you feel guilty about enjoying such a fine piece of bike video for free, then this would be the perfect occasion to grab yourself a Box of Disorder for more classic freeride goodness.
Have you been feeling that your bike is just too comfortable and efficient lately? Do you hate the mobility, simplicity, and ease of modern bikes? Well, Gizmodo has dug up the solution. There’s not much to be said other than watch the video, and then go and hug one of your, ahem, ‘real’ bikes.
This video features some great segments of dirt jumping, urban assault, and of course the ubiquitous BC singletrack with dog in tow. If nothing else, it’s worth watching just to see Carl Buchanan refuse to stop his session after breaking his handlebars in half. Carl’s street and park segment is definitely the standout of the video, and there’s little doubt that we’ll be seeing more from him in the future.
The Transition crew set out to highlight their riders who manage to hold down a full-time job, while at the same time riding at a level high enough to earn a spot on a factory team. The fact that these riders have the same amount of riding time as the rest of us, but are able to throw down with the best riders out there, is a testament to their skill and dedication.
Bang Bang tags along with two big-name freeriders, Aaron Chase and Cam McCaul, as they compete in the Qashqai Urban Challenge. The full video isn’t without its ups and downs, as it includes Chase’s season-ending injury from crashing hard off of a ladder bridge and compressing his vertebrae.
