Well as I descend upon Las Vegas and make my way to the 2015 Inter bike Dirtdemo, I saw fat tire bikes, cool bikes from the past, Mountain E-Bikes, and products galore. The weather was windy, sunny, and just enough rain to make it just right, so here are some pics of the 2015 DirtDemo.…
Check out the new KHS Enduro sled. 160mm of travel, slack head angel, and 27.5 (650b to them). Suspension pivot give an active feel. Dropper seatpost is a prerequisite for any cool Enduro rig. Shimano XT and SLX parts make this bike a winner. More to come.
MtnBikeRiders.com first heard about the KHS SixFifty 606 just before Interbike 2009. Excited with the 650b concept, I couldnāt wait to see it in person in Las Vegas. To date, there are only a few manufacturers entertaining this wheel size as part of their line-up. The 650b (27.5ā) is the third option in mountain bike…

AtĀ Interbike 2009, one thing definite that IĀ noticed was the abundance of carbon frames. As IĀ walked the convention, speaking to different manufacturers (big or small companies) it seemed that they all had at least one carbon frame ā road or mountain. The monocoque frames were justĀ beautiful to look at! Below are just some of the bikes…
First Impression by David “Mini-Mal” Sanderson. Ā The world famous Moe has been tasked with the envious duty of performing in-depth reviews on the KHS DH200 downhill and Lucky 7 freeride bikes.Ā Due to the technical difficulties associated with attempting to ride two bikes at once, I did Moe a favor and spent some time…
I did it. I jumped on the single speed bandwagon. I suppose it was just a matter of time really…with all these boys around me on their single speeds. I swore I’d never do it. But I really just couldn’t resist. I was blown away when I first saw RL riding his single speed. The…
To say that I was anxious about this race is an understatement. This past month since the Bonelli race has been spent trying to get over soar throats and runny noses. I have been sick for four weeks now which has left me with very little riding time and training. Lucky for me I paid…
One of the highlights of Interbike for me is meeting and greeting friends new and old in the industry. We also can get a little star struck every now and then. RL is a HUGE Melissa Buhl fan. Melissa Buhl IS super cool but I get a little star struck when I see Dale Holmes.…
