Video: Kona’s New Hei Hei Supreme and Raijin
02.22.2013 //
For three days Kona Team rider Spencer Paxson and Kona Grassroots rider Eric Goss took two of the company’s 29-inch wheel XC bikes and laid waste to many kilometers of ultra-buff B.C. singletrack.
Rocky Mountain Altitude 790 MSL Preview
02.18.2013 //
Rocky completely redesigned the Altitude line this year. There are five new models in the lineup—three of them bearing carbon somewhere on the frames, two others rocking all-aluminum chassis. The 790 is, in fact, a total carbon fiber dance party (both the front and rear triangles are made of the stuff).
Video: The Odd Couple

Think Southern California must be lacking in quality trails? Think again–it’s not all boob jobs, smog and traffic jams. Kyle Strait and Tyler McCaul pummel the fine trails within a pedal of Laguna Beach in this video from GT Bicycles.
Video: Introducing the Bell Segment

As usual, the folks at Red Bull go deep with their Chronicle series–this time around, delving into Kurt Sorge’s life (how he got his start, why he calls Nelson home and how he goes about preparing for events like Rampage).
Exclusive: 2013 Bible Review – BMC Fourstroke FS01 29
02.11.2013 //
The FS01’s geometry is set somewhere between ‘trail’ and ‘cross-country,’ making it eager to rally through corners and manual through
whoops when the track points down. Where other cross-country bikes might start feeling sketchy, this bike just wants to go faster. Our test model broke, but BMC states that this is a first-time failure for this model. Check out the review for more.
