David Golay reviews the Privateer 141 and 161 Gen 2 for Blister

Privateer 141 and 161 Gen 2

Privateer has made a name for itself by building burly, no-nonsense bikes for aggressive riders, and while their new second-generation 141 and 161 don’t appear to waver from that goal, a lot of the design details have changed, and in very interesting ways. Check out our First Look for all the info.

EXT Era V2.1 Fork

The original EXT Era fork was hugely impressive in a number of respects but also had a few rough edges.

Check out our full review for our take.

Propain Tyee

The Propain Tyee is an especially good value for money in terms of the parts spec and looks well-thought-out on paper, but does it all come together on the trail? We’ve spent several months on one and are ready to weigh in.
