What the heck is the Status? Last year, when we caught the first glimpses of the Status via social media it caught our attention. Was it a new alloy iteration of the Stumpjumper EVO? But when the 2021 Stumpjumper EVO was announced, it was clear the Status was something different. Whereas the new EVO is […]
Riding the Specialized Enduro
When the latest iteration of the Specialized Enduro dropped, we were both impressed and intrigued. Having owned several iterations of the Enduro as well as several models of the Demo DH bikes, the latest generation looks to have finally fulfilled its promise: the do-it-all unicorn bike that can descend with the capabilities of a downhill […]
Review: Shimano GR5 Flat Pedal Shoes
Shimano offers a full range of shoes for clip-in and platform pedals, and although we’ve been happily wearing Shimano clip-in shoes for years, I have been looking forward to trying the flat-pedal specific SH-GR501 model, AKA the GR5. The Shimano footwear line is divided between road and off-road riding applications, and sub-divided further by riding […]

Joe Oshman’s got a sweet looking new custom steel trail bike. We hounded him at the parking lot to learn more about his new ride and got him to spill the beans.
Review: Hiplok Z LOK – Lightweight, Just in Case Security
You’ll never confuse the Hiplok Zlok security tie with a classic u-lock. In terms of bike and gear security, they’re about as different as apples and oranges. Classified as a “security tie”, the Z LOK and Z LOK Combo are essentially overbuilt, secured, and reusable zip ties. Designed for convenient protection against opportunity thefts, they […]

The Cloudburst Jacket from Showers Pass is the first running-specific rain jacket from the Portland brand best known for cycling commuter wear.

Before You Ride: Performing A Pre-ride Safety Check
There’s nothing worse than a crash or breaking expensive parts due to a minor oversight or lack of maintenance.

Marin Gestalt X11 Gravel Bike
While we were initially drawn to the Gestalt X10 and it’s wallet-friendly price point, it was the ample amount of seat post available for a dropper that caught our eye. Billed as the mountain biker’s dropbar bike, the Marin Gestalt features a simplified 1x drivetrain and dropper post routing, it features tire clearance for up […]
Zarges Aluminum Boxes & Cases
We’re always on the lookout for ways to store and transport our gear; while we get a lot of use from Rubbermaid style tubs, they don’t offer anything in the way of security. Zarges cases and boxes look to be an interesting option for securable storage. These high-quality, weatherproof aluminum cases feature secure latches and […]
