Steve Smith was the first Canadian ever to claim the World Cup overall title, winning multiple races on his Wilson in 2013. It was a legendary season for race fans everywhere, especially here in Canada. We tragically lost Steve on May 10th, 2016, but we’ll never forget him. To commemorate Stevie’s passing and to honor his legacy, we built this one-of-a-kind modern replica of his 2013 race bike for the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation. The custom-painted 2022 Wilson 29 frame is built up with parts from Sram, RockShox, Crankbrothers, and Race Face, all put together from the tailgate of a...

We knew nothing about any recall. Additionally, we've had no word from anyone having any issues with the battery beyond those comments made on this article. And finally, our testers can only legitimately report on how their personal test bike performed.

Late last fall, shortly after Mount Washington’s lifts stopped spinning for mountain bikers, Forbidden athletes; Magnus Manson, Harry Barrett, Dillon Butcher, and Nic Court descended upon its slopes for one final session. For each rider, let loose for a season-ender to remember, this was their opportunity to leave their unique stamp on the trails and in the snow and dirt. Serving as Vancouver Island's only purpose-built and lift-accessed bike park, Mount Washington Alpine Resort is located a short drive from Forbidden’s island headquarters in Cumberland and has been one of our mainstay riding and bike testing destinations since the brand's...

That would be poor editing on my part. What Griz was trying to convey is the simplicity of just removing a cap and not having a secondary part to fiddle with as is the case with Presta.

BHowell Added a comment about feature Vital's Mixed-Wheel HIGHTOWER Project Bike

4/22/2022 8:12am
We stuck with the stock 32T on the Bronson. We did also ride the Hightower with its stock 30T prior to going to 34T. Charts aside, in terms of efficiency and rider feel, the Bronson scoots up the hill better than any iteration of the Hightower. The only advantage would come in the from the stock Hightower's 29er rear wheel in the chunky bits.

When Vital wrapped up its long-term test of the new Santa Cruz Bronson, we were rather smitten. We were massive fans of the prior Bronson and found the latest edition to be nothing but an improvement...
Half Nelson, Full Nelson, Hybrid, those are some easy classic trails in Squamish that everyone can ride, they seem a little tame when you compare them to some other super technical trails that Squamish is known for but with a little bit of creativity and a lot of commitment they can become challenging and fun. Watch Fabien " Couscous" Cousinié going flat out on those trails where he finds new lines, maximizing every inch of traction from his tires and letting the bike dance! Words from the man himself "I moved to Squamish 3 years ago and I still haven't...
