We Got the New Warakin in the House
Is this our new favorite Caja Killer? We’ve been a big fan of Otso over the past few years (ask the staff, almost each owns one themselves) so when the new Warakin hit our inbox a few months ago, we lined up for a size run. Come by and check out the bikes in person […]
New School XC: SB100 & Top Fuel
[siteorigin_widget class=”kad_image_widget”][/siteorigin_widget] This ain’t your daddy’s sweaty lycra… It wasn’t that long ago that cross country racing fell out of vogue in favor of the enduro format. And for good reason. Where enduro offered baggies, bros, and hucks, XC seemed to have stagnated with shaven legs, lycra, and boring bikes. Well, until recently. Welcome to […]
Staff Ride: Jett’s Surly Krampus
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget] Big, Red, and Ready to Punish There’s no question about it: this bike is a tank. With meaty 29×3.0 Maxxis Minions, chromoly frame and fork, racks, dropper, and bags, this is a machine built for long days in the saddle and is unafraid of any terrain. Jett built up this Surly Krampus for everything. […]

[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget] Handmade Canadian Hardtail Spring is just around the corner and many of us are dreaming of high country singletrack and maybe even a new bike. We thought it would be a good idea to display some of our staff’s bikes and give you an idea of why they are built the way they […]

Stoke: Kona Bikepacking Video
We have been watching bikepacking grow over the years and rightfully so! Here in Santa Fe we have easy access to public lands straight from town. This video posted by Kona of a Finnish fellow riding near his hometown rings familiar to here…well, minus the fishing, lakes, trees, etc. But you get the point. otterbox […]

Shop Testing: Kona Process 153
When You’re Least Expecting It… Okay, we’re not going to lie: this ‘review’ may be more a love letter than a technical appraisal. Why a love letter? Well, because something doesn’t need to be perfect to be loved and what we have here is a love story. Testing the 153 has been a family affair. Mike […]
Rocky Mountain Instinct – BC Edition
Intro & Our Rider Rocky Mountain has been one of those sleeper brands for a while, especially this far south of the Canadian border. Looking through their catalog, it becomes clear that their bikes have a slight XC bent, but often find themselves outfitted with burlier components. Here, then, is the prime example of that […]
