On October 16, the Red Bull Hardline downhill competition made its North American debut. The event was moved up a day because of weather, but massive crowds still showed up for the weekday event. Everyone in attendance had high expectations for Jackson Goldstone, especially after seeding over seven seconds ahead of second place. An awkward…

The new Garmin Edge 1060 is here, but don’t let all the road-bike photos and screenshots fool you. While it’s not a mountain-bike-specific GPS unit like the Edge MTB, the Edge 1060 might be an even better — albeit more expensive — choice for singletrack riders. With a new hands-free voice-control feature, additional physical buttons,…

Photos: Travis Reill Trek made some significant changes to the seventh generation of Fuel trail bikes. The once “do-it-all” trail bike can now, well, do it all, with a flip-chip for shock progressivity, the ability to run mixed wheels or a full 29er, and trail-to-enduro travel numbers. In the EX version, Trek built the Fuel…

However, installing a tube requires removing the wheel, which adds to the hassle. BMX brand Fly Bikes caught my attention recently with a workaround. The Spanish brand’s Cobra Tube is a straight…

File photo: Jeff Barber Is there any bike trick that’s cooler than a wheelie? Sure, there are more impressive moves on a bike, but popping a wheelie — and holding it! — shows skill. Not everyone can do a wheelie, including many riders who have been at it a long time, which adds to the…

The Stoke is an occasional opinion series highlighting the things that get us stoked about mountain biking. 🤘 👍 👏 🙏 Today is International Repair Day, a holiday I didn’t know existed until Ritchey Bicycle Components wrote about it this week. Of course I’m always stoked for an excuse to celebrate, especially when it involves an…

The full-price bikes range in price from $1,099.99 to $1,999.99 and include several gravel bikes plus the brand’s…

Photos: @fake.bike.co The truth is that the perfect bike doesn’t exist. “Perfection” is subjective, and no matter how good a bike is, I’d always tweak something a little. A degree slacker. A few millimeters longer. Often, bike “perfection” is the combination of, well, two or three bikes — most of this one’s geometry, mixed with…

Photo: @redbullbike If you’ve made plans to watch Red Bull Hardline BC this Saturday, you’ll be a day too late. Red Bull has decided to move the event forward one day, citing weather as the reason for the rescheduling. This move comes less than one week after the men’s Rampage finals were canceled due to…
