Gordon Gianniny reviews the Altra Timp 2.0 for Blister in Crested Butte, Colorado.

Altra Timp 2.0

by
Altra made several significant updates to their high-cushion Timp and we think that, for many people, the new Timp 2.0 is a better shoe in most regards. Check out our review to see how this versatile, cushioned shoe compares to the previous Timp 1.5 and several other shoes on the market.
David Golay reviews the We Are One Union wheelset for Blister

We Are One Union Wheels

by
There are plenty of ultra-stiff carbon rims on the market, but many of them also tend to feel very harsh and jarring in rough terrain. With their Enduro-oriented Union wheels, We Are One aimed to strike a better balance of stiffness, ride feel, & durability — all while making them in British Columbia and offering a lifetime warranty. After spending a few months riding the Union wheels (on an aggressive hardtail), we think they’d be very appealing to a lot of riders.
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.

Salomon S/Lab Sense 8

by
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.

Gregory Targhee 32

by
We spent most of this past season skiing with Gregory’s recently revised Targhee 32 backpack and think it’s an excellent option for a do-it-all snowsports pack, and it’s also worth a look for photographers who spend time sliding on snow. Check out our review.
