Bikes - DH / Freeride

Ready for bike park or shuttle duty, the new Aluminum Process X models are Kona's first alloy FR bikes since the Operator and Process 165.

The alloy frame plus dual crown-friendly bump stops - if that's how it ends up being released - would suggest a budget-conscious long travel Kona aimed at huckers on a budget and park riders.

Rocky Mountain pulls no punches with the meanest Slayer yet.

A mix of metals meets a mix of wheels with these custom-designed bikes from Whistler.

"The Balance demanded my attention in the most polite way possible; by taking me to the edge of destruction and then returning me to earth safely..."

"It's just a 27.5 bike with the wheel I'm used to in front."

The new Trek doesn't look like a Session...ok maybe it does, but it's still all new!

While I could probably stare at this bike all day, I did actually get out and ride the Canyon Sender CFR. Question; is the ride as appealing as the silhouette?

A global pandemic can't keep the new Forbidden Dreadnought chained down. Owen shares some of the challenges during the bike's development.

A bike to ride up, over and blast down the mountains.

The Warden LT is a long travel machine built from aluminum and designed for rough play...

"It's definitely not carbon. It most certainly doesn't have 29 inch wheels. And you probably won't see it at an Enduro or DH race..."

"Canyon set out to develop the new Sender with one goal; build the best race bike possible..."

Rocky claims this bike is meant for riding fast and sending it deep - without being a beast to pedal to the top...

It is very rare to get a behind the scenes look at Unno Bikes - Cesar Rojo's masterpiece of a handbuilt carbon bike company. Lucky us - and you.

After an eventful summer on the Santa Cruz V10 29er, it's time to reflect and render some verdicts...

After much pestering Santa Cruz let me in on some of the development process that led to the newest V10...

I meet up with Ariel Lindsley from Fox to talk suspension, do some on trail testing, and make changes to get the most out of the Fox 49 and DHX2 Coil on the Santa Cruz V10 29er.

Some pro bikes, fancy Italian brakes and even a suspension handlebar...

Micro Spline options, new rings, tools that magically stick to your bike with magnets, bearings over bushings and more...
