Lucent unveils Free Delivery
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 protects you with putty
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 […]
Will Ride for Food, part 2
Last week, we had a look at the first half of the two-part Will Ride for Food series. As a refresher, the crew at Transition Bikes has produced the series as a tribute the the pro-level riders who are able to juggle riding at the top of their game with holding down a nine-to-five.
Just like […]
Karpiel Armageddon prototype pictures surface
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 fires up the hype machine: the Hammerschmidt is coming
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 […]
Will Ride for Food, part 1
Have you ever watched a great bike video, and thought to yourself: “gee Self, I could do that if I could ride all day long like the pros. Yup, if I didn’t have to work all day long, I’d have by skills honed sharp enough to make Aaron Chase look like a monkey on a […]
Gatorbrake’s eight piston disc brake
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 launches a new website
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 […]
Bang Bang: the new video from Aaron Chase
Aaron Chase is a pretty unique guy in the dirt scene. On the one hand, he’s a hugely talented rider, and has been a driving force in the progression of freeride in recent years, helping the sport shift from simple hucking and dropping to its current focus on flow, technical tricks, and creative lines. On […]
e.13 answers a question nobody asked
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 […]
