I inquired eThirteen about those tires a few weeks ago and they said that the production dates are unknown because of all the delays going on. I have asked them again this morning after seeing Remy's bike check so we'll see if they have new estimated delivery dates. In my opinion, the tread design seems to address what I thought...

I know these have popped up on the gear rumor forums before. Anyone hearing any new rumblings about the e13 Grapplers?.... Looks to be an intermediate knob design similar to Assegai/Mary/Hellkat.

This Marin Rift Zone 2 review is from our $2,000 mountain bike group test, where we tested six full-suspension 29ers head to head. See the full story here. The most modern geometry of $2,000 mountain bike group test with 455mm reach and 65.5-degree head angle Extremely fun and capable on descents and in corners. Well-performing RockShox Deluxe Select Debonair rear shock Grippy, aggressive Vee Snap Flow tires keep the bike composed descending rough terrain but slow the bike down on climbs and through flatter portions of trail. Buy directly through Jenson USA but also have Marin dealer support through authorized...

Marin bikes are definitely an awesome value and quality brand. I am really picky when it comes to small details and I inspect everything more than the average customer. The Rift Zone 1 that I had was flawless. Even if it was the lowest end model, the frame had spot-on tolerances, was straight as an arrow, had a super nice two-color paint, was well greased and assembled...I could go on. Honestly, it would have been impressive at any price, but the fact that the complete bike was selling for the price of an alloy frame without shock made it even...

Hi there! They are available from DVO but I asked my suspension service centre to shorten it a bit (mine is 12mm "thick") otherwise the stock ones would have been either too short or too long. Depending on your specific shock/spring combination it can vary. Cheers!

When the new revision of the Meta AM, the geometry reached a near perfect level of aggressiveness. The amount of travel is ideal for this super-duro bike, while being progressive enough to maintain a lighter trail feel than a thoroughbred DH bike. The color ways were very good looking online, and they proved to be brilliant and deep in real life. The ride feel is exceptional, with plenty of small bump sensitivity, and end stroke progression. It is heavy, my build turned out to be 38 lbs but this adds to its character and isn't super noticeable on the climbs...
