2/5/2016 10:03pm My apologies. I think the link I posted before didn't work. This is the video of Gwin out riding with Alpinestars. The glare conveniently covers the bike. Sounds like he cased hard though.

Google managed to index this link 2 days ago. The article on MBA was taken down. The link goes now just to the homepage. http://gravity-magazine.de/de/article/aaron-gwin-2016-auf-yt-industries This article has a snippet of what MBA wrote. Towards the bottom. They seem to confirm that Gwin on YT.

1/3/2016 10:18pm I believe Martin Soderstom is also sponsored by Audi. Though it is mostly targeted at the European market. He has been flaunting a chrome Q5 all over social media. I believe he has also been in ads. So its a possibility. Though I don't see them matching up brand wise.

7/6/2015 10:52am Love it!!! Finally some non European company gets it. There was hate for suspension when it first came out, in fact there is hate for EVERY new mtb trend when it comes out. I don't get it why there are so many negative nancy's out there but either way it seems the companies are seeing through that rubbish and noticing there are tons of people that think progression is a good thing and just want to have fun. I would love to see a more aggressive bike in this category. If pedaling up is made easier, I'm willing to have...

7/6/2015 10:52am I'm all for it. 20+ years of hard core MTB experience and 10+ years extreme enduro moto experience. No it's not 'pure' in the MTB/sado masochististic pedaling sense whatever the hell that means. And no I can't do a 100+ mile epic singletrack throttle twisting day on it. This is a different more accessible hybrid. I MTB 5-6 days a week, 500,000+ ft elevation climbing a year. Face it, the climb to descend ratio sucks. Spend 20+ minutes climbing for a 2-3 minute descent. I'd love to improve that fun ratio and this is a tool that can do it...

7/6/2015 10:49am The article says it perfectly. "The Levo will allow you to go much further and higher". I love my XC Bike and I love my good XC rides with my XC friends. I see no reason for anyone to flame this bike. Might not be for everyone but if you care that much about what gets other people excited to ride and go explore, have fun, and smile then I probably wouldn't be riding with you anyway.

Being that True Precision is located in my home town I have heard allot of good things about them over the years but always figured hubs didn't make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things when deciding to upgrade parts on my bike. Recently I decided to give them a try and I sure wish I had switched sooner. First and foremost the guy's at True Precision are super helpful and easy to deal with. The hubs look awesome and you can tell they take attention to detail very seriously. The stainless free hub body is a nice...

bturman Liked a product review First Ride: Öhlins TTX Shock - Yellow Gold
7/15/2013 6:50pm
Review by Brandon Turman // Photos by Cameron Baird, Specialized, & Brandon Turman If you want to cause a stir in the bike industry, one surefire way to do it is a bright yellow shock in a sea of black. What does yellow mean in the suspension world? It means Öhlins is here, and they mean business. After more than one year of testing, tweaking, and tuning, a collaboration between Specialized and Öhlins has yielded the TTX (Model # TTX22M), a shock specifically tuned for Specialized's big-hitting gravity bikes. We had the opportunity to ride a 2014 Demo 8 equipped...
