Banked turns are more fun

Review: Active Wear Laundry Detergent

by

Much of our favorite riding apparel and activewear is made from polyester, a fabric known for developing odor over time.. or even a single-use. If not addressed, these odors can be difficult to remove. Active Detergent developed their formula to break down the bacterial that causes odor, and best of all does it in with […]

Review: Backcountry Slickrock Pant & Hero Dirt Hoodie

by

A technical riding pant at a competitive price, the Backcountry Slickrock Pant is nice addition to riding pant options available. Featuring a well-considered design and constructed of quality materials, it’s suitable for cool weather riding, and pairs well with the matching Hero Dirt Hoodie. (also from Backcountry) The Hero Dirt Hoodie is great, but I […]

Review: Lizard Skins Carbon Leather Frame Protector

by

Most carbon fiber bikes include some sort of frame protection from the factory these days. While some of the stock frame guards are good, most don’t provide anywhere near the coverage needed to protect your carbon frame investment. Quite a few aftermarket options have sprung up to fill this niche with a lot of available […]

Review: TranzX Jump Seat Dropper Post

by

The TranzX Jump Seat Dropper post is a simplified take on the adjustable height seat post, distilled to the basics. There are no remotes or cables, just a simple lever you engage to quickly adjust the height of your seat. Best of all, it’s only a hundred bucks. Available in 3 post diameters with a […]

Neuhaus Metalworks Mullet Hardtail

by

We enjoy riding MTBs of all wheel sizes… 26″, 27.5″, and 29″ all have a place for us. That said, after building up a 27.5″ hardtail, it simply didn’t have a place.. the 26″ was more fun on the pump track and dirt jumps, and the 29″ was more useful on the trail. But what […]

Review: Ryders Eyewear Roam Fyre Sunglasses

by

Like the best of the Ryders Eyewear lineup, the Roam Fyre sunglasses feature tint adjusting photochromic lenses and an antiFog coating. It was the larger eye coverage and semi-rim design that intreged me the most, and after spending some time running the Roam Fyre glasses, they’ve proven to be a great option for protective eyewear […]

Mullet Cycles: all in on mixed wheel sizes

by

Mixed wheel sizes on mountain bikes isn’t a new concept, but in the last few seasons we’ve been seeing a re-emergence of riders and brands “mixing things up.” Michael Vidovich and Schwartz are two riders so committed to the concept they’ve developed a brand around it: Mullet Cycles. Mullet Cycles launched with a trail/enduro hardtail […]

Status MTB – First Rides on the elusive Specialized Mullet

by

What the heck is the Status? Details on this elusive alloy FSR bike have been scarce, with our first glimpses being limited to social media. Was it a new alloy iteration of the Stumpjumper EVO? But then the 2021 Stumpjumper EVO was announced, and it was clear the Status was something different. When additional detail […]

Riding the Specialized Enduro

by

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

by

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 […]
