RockShox SID Ultimate

For 2020 models RockShox has introduced the new Ultimate versions of its forks. These represent the highest level of technology in the range in each of the chassis available i.e. Pike, Lyric,…
Kona Bikes Process 134 DL 29
There are very few bikes I wish I had bought, but the Process 111 from about 4 years ago has to be one of them. A bike way ahead of its time, it combined short travel with big bike numbers to create a unique and amazing ride. The 111 was forgotten about and Kona continued with the long travel Process…
Merida Bikes eONE-FORTY 9000

Hutchinson Bicycle Tires Griffus
There was a time that most bikes on the trails would be shod in one of two or three brands of rubber, but we're well past that now with a plethora of brands and models to choose from. Hutchinson has aimed to produce a tyre for every type of hardpack and dry conditions imaginable. As they would say 'Dust, rocks,…
DMR Bikes Wingbar 35 and DEFY 35+ Stem
If ever a brand was to inspire confidence, then DMR would be the one. Born out of thrashing bikes in the woods, the components that come from DMR are certainly ones that can take some abuse.
