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 [...]

Here’s something that you don’t get every day: a full length, well done bike video for free. Well, today is a very good day then, because that is exactly what Lucent Productions has announced with Free Delivery. The film focuses on pro riders from the New England area, as well as a handful of North American [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Not too long ago, when hucking was all the rage, the Karpiel Armageddon stood at the top of the heap of monster-bikes. Coupled with a Risse Bigfoot fork up front, the Armageddon had up to 12″ of travel front and back, and weighed as much as a Buick. That weight didn’t matter, of course, to [...]

Truvativ has launched a teaser site for the “Hammerschmidt”. The problem is, being a teaser site, there really is no useful information to help us figure out what exactly Hammerschmidt is, so we’re forced to use our brilliant skills of rampant speculation. Popular opinion, and the prediction that we’re most inclined to agree with, is that [...]

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 [...]

Are your measly Magura Gustav or Hope M4 brakes, with their four hopelessly inadequate pistons just not living up to your expectations? Gatorbrake hopes so, and thinks that their biggest model, with double the pistons (and therefore double the awesome) of other downhill brakes will satisfy your need for motorcycle-level stopping power. The apparently unnamed eight-pot brake has a CNC [...]

Intense Cycles makes some of our favourite downhill bikes. In fact, the new M6 excites us in a way that no bike should. So when word comes in that Intense has unveiled a slick new website, it doesn’t take much further prompting to waste the next half hour of the day. The new site looks great, and [...]

e.13 has posted a press release today hyping their introduction of odd-sized guide rings. These rings (not surprisingly) are available in odd sizes, and you can take your pick of 33, 35, 37, and 39 teeth (compared to the more common ‘even-sized’ rings at 34, 36, 38, and 40 teeth). No doubt that these rings will uphold the [...]
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.
