Enve’s new Lust-Worthy Alloy Mountain Stem
After the frame, the part on our bikes we often obsess over the most is the stem. Besides its crucial role as that bit that attaches the handlebar to the fork steerer, it’s also what we end up staring at the most during those long, grinding climbs up mountains. So when carbon wheel and bar […]
Review: TOGS Flex MTB Thumbgrips
TOGS Thumbgrips are intended to enhance comfort on long rides by facilitating an additional hand position on flat and riders bars.

That said, a bit of know-how and experience can save you a […]
Shimano Deore Updated with Wide Range 12,11, & 10 Speed Options — Why You Should Care
Shimano Deore 12 Speed has arrived, bringing the technology initially found in the flagship XTR group to a price point more commonly found on “entry-level” bikes. For most riders, it isn’t news that will affect them — not right away at least. Trickle-down tech isn’t a new concept; last year SLX dropped in a 12-speed […]
Inner Bar Ends for MTB Handlebars? Three Options for Alternative Hand Positions
Bar ends suck. They look horrible, can catch on branches and blackberry bushes, and take up valuable real estate on the bars as they push your hands inwards decreasing usable bar width. They’re appalling mounted riser bars with any type of sweep… that said, for long XC and multi-surface rides, having a secondary hand position […]

One of the highlights of the build is a new cockpit featuring a limited edition […]
Going Rigid: 10 Rigid fork Options for the Ultimate Flatbar MTB Gravel Bike Conversion
We have been seeing a lot of cyclocross and gravel bikes equipped with rise bars instead of drop bars, but this doesn’t make a lot of sense. Cyclocross bike geometry is designed for drop bars, with the reach of the bikes designed into the bars. If you replace a drop bar in favor of an […]
