Reviewed by Steve Wentz, Joe Schneider, and Brandon Turman // Photos by Shawn Spomer and Brandon Turman Every once in a while we test a bike that requires a completely different mentality than we are used to. Such is the case with the all-new 2013 Airborne HobGoblin. Usually we're handed bikes with top-of-the-line components, carbon this, fancy button that. Then along came the HobGoblin. No, not a hairy little man doing household chores in mythical stories, but rather a very practical, very affordable cross-country 29er with 100mm of travel. At just $1,750 complete, we suppose there is something mythical about...

Great start guys. That was pretty in depth, especially compared to a print review that's typically 1 page. The 44 photos certainly show how the bike was tested, and that provides additional insight to go along with the text.

Reviewed by Steve Wentz, Joe Schneider, and Brandon Turman // Photos by Shawn Spomer and Brandon Turman The all-new, all-carbon, 650B wheel equipped 2013 Rocky Mountain Altitude came to life just a few months ago, making it a perfect candidate for Vital MTB's Test Sessions in Southern Utah. This 150mm travel rig is Rocky's flagship trail bike, designed with the goal of getting the job done well regardless of the terrain. From the first minute of the Altitude’s design process, Rocky says there was never any doubt that they would build it around 650B wheels, citing limitations of both 26-inch...

Well, you proved that you CAN go over the bars on a 29er!! Let's see, those 2 DHers i see pictured..I bet they loved the SB 66, and the crazy Mondraker, were surprised by the Norco's hidden awesomeness, and they can live withe 29ers after riding the Niner RIP.

Clean. I spend more time on my jet than any other bike. No bike is complete without a dropper post though.

LOL It's just that i'm not sure i've ever seen him training. He could instill fear in his competitors if he was at least seen on a road bike or pedaling uphill, or on flat ground for that matter.

It would be nice to know he's at least riding a spin bike while watching world cups on tv or something. I'm sure he's not out of shape but if he's really looking to pull on some rainbow stripes then there should be little time for him to be sitting on the couch. I doubt his competition is.
