Maddie Hart reviews the Hoka One One Carbon X for Blister

Hoka One One Carbon X

by
The Hoka Carbon X is part of a new class of shoes designed with one goal in mind: running as fast as possible. But this carbon-reinforced road shoe doesn't look like the race shoes of the past, so we were curious to see how it handled a variety of distances and speeds, and how it compared to more "normal" shoes like the Hoka Clifton 6. Check out our review to see what we found.

The Salomon S/Lab Sense 8 is an example of a product that's designed to do a pretty specific thing, and that does that exceptionally well. But what about using it outside of racing and fast runs? Check out our review.

David Golay reviews the Mojo MORC 40 Offset-Reducing Crowns for Blister

Mojo MORC 40 Offset-Reducing Crowns

by
Last year we started to see several of the best DH racers in the world using non-standard fork crowns, many of which turned out to be the Mojo MORC 40. They're now available to the public, and we’ve been testing these offset-reducing crowns to see just how much of an impact they make on trail, and whether or not you need to be a World Cup racer to appreciate them.

These are some pretty bold claims, so check out our review to see how they went about doing this and our initial on-trail impressions.
