Banked turns are more fun

WizGear Universal Stick on Magnetic Cell Phone Holder

by

A lot of us rely on our phones for navigation while traveling. However, finding a suitable mount has been a challenge for us. We’ve tried a number of products – suction cup mounted holders, clip-on mounts that go on the vents, and well – they’ve all ended up sucking. Ironically, when I discovered the WizGear […]

Review: Leatt DBX DBX 4.0 Pants & 5.0 Jersey

by

Leatt dispatched a set of their 2019 cool riding kit to try out last fall. Arriving in December, it’s often a crap shoot on whether I’ll actually use it, as our trails turn from muck to being covered in snow this time of year. Fortunately (or not) thanks to a changing climate we’ve had some […]

Elliptigo MSUB Stand Up Bikes

by

“Uh, wut.” That’s where I’m still at here, as words continue to fail me. Apparently “stand up cycling” is a thing. Since it would be too difficult to lower your saddle and go for a ride standing the whole time. The benefits of stand cycling: exercise. Because the best way to get additional cardio is […]

Evoc Neo 16L Backpack featuring new Airshield System

by

Backpacks for mountain biking can get sweaty, so backpack makers are constantly coming up with solutions to enhance airflow and minimize back sweat. With the capabilities of modern trail bikes allowing us to aggressively ride trails we once would only brave on a gravity specific ride, additional armor and protection is a small investment to […]

Shimano ME7 Shoes Review

by

I’ve always been fond of Shimano DH shoes, but the riding we actually do the bulk of the time is more enduro than DH. So it makes sense to run a lighter weight shoe that’s more efficient for climbing up mountains in order to enjoy the descents. Fortunately, these days there are a number of […]

Leatt 3DF 6.0 Knee Guards Review

by

The Leatt Airflex Pro Knee Guards previously reviewed raised the bar in what I’ve been looking for in a knee pad. I wore them for everything, from skate park style park riding to trail riding to bike park riding. The lightweight, low profile knee guard was easily the most comfortable pad I’ve worn; the only […]

Inteletool Interchangeable Head Tool with Telescopic Handle

by

There aren’t a lot of options when it comes to portable trail building tools one can tote in a pack. While researching options for an easy-to-carry trail building tool, our search took us from modular survival shovels to combi tools to trunk shovels. The problem with these options: the handles are either too short or […]

Lezyme Torque Drive Tool

by

Small, sleek, compact and easy to store, the Lezyne Torque Drive tool is a simple but elegant solution for ensuring bolts are fastened to the correct specifications. The mini torque wrench features machined aluminum construction with a removable t-handle and a bit holder and a wide select of bits. The Torque Drive Tool includes a […]

Review: Pro Mini Tool 22

by

Pro Brand Bike Gear is a division of Shimano offering a wide range of components and accessories. (they even make a travel bag – news to me). Looking to try the streamlined Pro Mini Tool 22, I requested one to try out. With 22 functions, Pro manages to pack a lot of punch into a […]

Review: Leatt DBX 5.0 All Mountain Jacket & Shorts

by

2019 Leatt DBX 5.0 All Mountain Jacket and Shorts in the ink color. Leatt was founded as a brand offering innovative protective gear, and has since expanded their line with soft goods and outerwear that continues to iterate and improve every season. I was lucky enough to receive a selection of the 2019 Fall DBX […]
