Zack Henderson reviews the Banshee Titan V3 for Blister

Banshee Titan V3

by
We recently reviewed Banshee’s short-travel Phantom, and we've also spent the past year+ on its longer-travel sibling, the Titan. It’s an impressive (and incredibly good looking) 29er, but who is it best suited for, and where does it most notably excel? Check out our full review to find out.
David Golay Reviews the Privateer 161 for Blister

Privateer 161

by
With progressive geometry, a bargain price for what you get, and thoughtful design touches and spec, the Privateer 161 looks awfully appealing on paper. We’ve been testing this aluminum Enduro race bike and think it delivers on what the brand claims about it — for the right types of riders. Check out our full review for all the details.

Gordon Gianniny reviews the Hoka One One Carbon X2 for Blister

Hoka One One Carbon X2

by
Shoes with carbon plates have gained a lot of attention recently, but most are pretty niche, race-oriented products. The Hoka Carbon X2 is designed to offer both race-day efficiency and long-distance comfort, and while we were at first skeptical about that bold claim, we've been thoroughly impressed by this shoe so far.
