Division26 is a clothing company after our hearts
If you’re anything like me, an absurd percentage of your clothes are bike related. With that in mind, it’s still good news when somebody else jumps into the ring making clothes for riders, on or off the bike. Division26 is the latest company to join the party, and with Eric Carter backing the effort, expectations are high. […]
Klein is coming back to the US
In the last few days, Trek has been doing a fair bit of shuffling in its brand portfolio, sparked by the fact that the brand’s relationship with LeMond appears to have hit rock bottom. Trek has been producing and marketing LeMond bikes under a licencing agreement since 1995, but the partnership has lately turned into a legal fiasco, […]

Ride the rockies: Rocky Mountain goes on tour
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 […]
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 […]
Kenda Nevegal now available in 650B
Kenda’s Nevegal is widely held as one of the best tires going for all-mountain riding. The Nevegal is light, has a nice, high-volume casing, grips well in most conditions, and is among the fastest-rolling full knobby tires. I’ve personally put a few seasons on Nevegals, and have been quite impressed with their performance.
So what about […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Red Bull Wings for Life auction: really cool stuff for a really good cause
How fast have you been on your mountain bike? 50 mph? 60 maybe? Well, Markus Stoeckl has you beat… by a lot. Stoeckl is the rider who hit 130.7 mph, the world speed record for a mountain bike, blasting down the Chilean Alps. Sure, the full skinsuit and 45 degree slope had something to do […]
