Gregory has been making all sorts of backpacks for years, but how do their new biking packs perform? Check out our review of the Gregory Endo 15 3D-Hydro.
With the geometry numbers of a DH bike, the travel of a Trail bike, and a belt-driven gearbox drivetrain, the Nicolai Ion G13 GPI is probably the most unconventional Trail bike we've ever reviewed.
The new Ibis Ripmo is supposed to occupy the middle ground between Ibis's more uphill-oriented Ripley LS and their more downhill-oriented Mojo HD4. So does it really hit that middle ground? And where does it fall in the spectrum of Trail bikes?
We always go in-depth, but this might be the most in-depth we’ve ever gone. Check out our review of the gearbox-equipped (no derailleur, no cassette) Zerode Taniwha Trail bike.
Updated forks and shocks are often cases of evolution rather than revolution. But the new Rockshox Lyrik RC2 provides very discernible improvements over prior iterations, and you don’t need to be a world-cup-level racer to appreciate them.
Check out the most interesting things we saw at Interbike this year — including banana holsters, new Maxxis tires, Wonder Woman's bike, and ... lots of eBikes.
Frames and fancy wheel sets are super sexy, but let’s not forget about those bars and stems. We’ve found the Race Face Next R bar and Turbine R stem to be reliable, well-built, and versatile options.
While they’re best known for their waterproof road-biking jackets, Showers Pass also makes some high-quality, lightweight apparel for the hottest days on the trail. Check out our review.
Our reviewer calls the Pivot Firebird 29 the “Firechicken,” because it's a long-travel 29er that descends like it’s on fire, and has a speed limit that's primarily defined by how chicken you are. Check out our full review.
When it comes to bike racks, you’re often choosing between expensive options that are secure, or inexpensive options that are unreliable and unstable. But the Kuat Transfer aims to change that. Check out our review.
The Five Ten Hellcat Pro is a burly, downhill-oriented clipless shoe that’s designed to offer lots of protection and comfort while maintaining pedaling efficiency. And for that use, it’s one of the best options we’ve tried.
The gravity / DH tire category has been dominated by a few specific options for years, but Kenda aims to change that with their Hellkat Pro. So we spent a few months riding on the Hellkat Pro to see how it compares to options like the Maxxis Minion DHF, Maxxis High Roller II, and WTB Convict.
The Next R sits in the middle of Race Face’s high-end crank lineup, slotted between their burly DH cranks and lighter XC options. So how does the Next R differentiate itself from the many other options out there? Short answer: a lot of ways. Check out our full review.
Tubeless tire sealant can get expensive, especially when you’re swapping out tires often, so our bike editor gives the rundown on mixing up your own sealant at home.
Our bike editor recently completed the Trans BC Enduro Stage Race — 6 days, ~145 miles, ~31,000 feet of climbing, ~45,000 feet of descending. Check out his recap of the event; how and why he picked his bike and build; and how everything performed. (This writeup is awesome, BTW.)
If you like the sound of a lighter, more pedal-friendly shock that will improve the downhill performance of your Trail bike, the Fox Float DPX2 warrants a very serious look.
