2014 Santa Cruz Bronson

September 24, 2013September 24, 2013 by Noah Bodman
Santa Cruz Bronson, Blister Gear Review

The Santa Cruz Bronson is a long-ish travel bike that’s just as happy going up or down.

2014 Devinci Troy Carbon SL

September 17, 2013September 17, 2013 by Noah Bodman

September 17, 2013September 17, 2013 by Noah Bodman
Devinci Atlas Carbon RC, Blister Gear Review.

2013 Knolly Chilcotin

September 3, 2013September 2, 2013 by Eric Melson
Knolly Chilcotin, Blister Gear Review.

The Knolly Chilcotin is a technical trail wizard that thrives when ridden aggressively. If you live in an area with demanding trails and are in the market for a 6” all-mountain charger, it should be on your short list.

2013 Specialized Enduro Expert

July 12, 2013July 10, 2013 by Noah Bodman
Specialized Enduro Expert, Blister Gear Review.

The Specialized Enduro Expert excels in downhill chunder and holding its line at speed. And its old school horst linkage can still compete with today’s new-fangled suspension designs.

2013 Turner Burner

July 9, 2013July 8, 2013 by Dana Allen
Turner Burner, Blister Gear Review.

The Burner is Dave Turner’s entry into 650b. If you’re thinking about making the jump to 27.5, the Burner should be on your shortlist.

2013 Diamondback Scapegoat

May 31, 2013May 24, 2013 by Eric Melson
Diamondback Scapegoat, Blister Gear Review

Though billed as a gravity / park bike with all-mountain agility and playfulness, the Diamondback Scapegoat shines brightest as a freeride machine. Blister reviewer Eric Melson reports.

First Look: 2013 Surly Krampus

November 11, 2012 by Joe Hanrahan

The 2013 Surly Krampus brings back those good old memories of rallying rigid bikes with canti brakes; but instead of steep angles, long stems, and terrible tires, you’re on a sweet modern machine.

First Look: 2013 Diamondback Scapegoat

August 12, 2014November 7, 2012 by Eric Melson
Eric Melson, Diamondback Scapegoat, Blister Gear Review, alpenglowpress.com

The 2013 Diamondback Scapegoat looks impressive, with quite possibly the best off-the-rack build of any Gravity / Park / AM bike on the market. Eric Melson’s been putting time on it, check out his initial impressions.

PREVIEW: 2012 Knolly Chilcotin

August 12, 2014October 26, 2012 by Joe Hanrahan

Transition Trail-or-Park

October 25, 2012October 25, 2012 by Eric Melson

The Transition Trail-or-Park has what you’d expect in a do-it-all jump / park / pump track bike, but it’s the ToP’s unexpected details that makes this bike stand out.

2012 Kona Satori

October 11, 2012October 11, 2012 by Noah Bodman

The Satori is Kona’s attempt to make an aggressive 29er trail bike in a full-suspension package. So far, it’s been a lot of fun and a little bit confusing. Noah Bodman explains.

2011 Canfield Brothers Yelli Screamy (29er)

August 14, 2012July 19, 2012 by Noah Bodman

The Canfield Brothers Yelli Screamy is the first 29er Noah Bodman has ever liked. (So why does it seem like he’s trying to destroy it?)

2011 Specialized SX Trail

August 1, 2012July 4, 2012 by Kevin Bazar

The Specialized SX Trail falls between a burly trail bike and DH rig, which, when dialed, will rail the downhill and will climb when you need it to.

2010 Santa Cruz Nomad C

June 27, 2012May 30, 2012 by Joe Hanrahan

The Santa Cruz Nomad C is a stiff bike with precise handling whose descending capabilities leave little to be desired—once the suspension is dialed.

2011 Turner 5.Spot

June 27, 2012May 18, 2012 by Kevin Bazar
Turner 5.Spot, Blister Gear Review

The 2011 Turner 5.Spot isn’t the lightest 140mm frame out there, but it is among the burliest.

2011 Trek Superfly

June 27, 2012May 17, 2012 by Sydney Dickinson
Trek Superfly, Blister Gear Review

With its light weight, dialed geometry, and stiffness, the 2011 Trek Superfly is a very well-rounded 29er.

2010 Santa Cruz Nomad

June 27, 2012May 8, 2012 by Rob Dickinson
Santa Cruz Nomad, Blister Gear Review

The Santa Cruz Nomad has a stiff and sturdy feel and absolutely shreds corners, but the VPP suspension left BLISTER reviewer Rob Dickinson less than thrilled.
