Share the Ride - Now With More Prizes For You to Win
It's been just over a week since we launched Share the Ride for 2015 and we have already raised nearly 25% of our goal of $40,000. We have been busy behind the scenes plotting and planning where all of your donations are going to be spent this year. We have events lined up in India, New Zealand, Canada, USA, Hungary and beyond. But we still need to reach our funding goal to make sure we can get out to more locations and buy more bikes for disadvantaged children around the world.
Gaspi brought Share the Ride to the Czech Republic in 2014.
We have had some more great sponsors donate prizing, so if you haven't managed to pull the trigger on making a contribution, we hope you will be inspired to do so now. Read on for more info.

Grand Prize: Choice of a Giant Trance SX or a Liv Intrigue SX
Giant Trance SX
Valued at $4,599 CAD the Giant Trance SX designed from the ground-up to take advantage of 27.5-inch wheels, Trance SX 27.5 is the best of both worlds—light and agile, yet also super stable on rough trails. The lightweight, stiff and super-strong ALUXX SL aluminum frame is mated with 140mm of proven Maestro rear suspension and up to 160mm of front suspension. The frame also features Giant’s OverDrive steerer tube technology for stiff, razor-sharp steering and handling in the rough stuff.
The Giant Trance SX features
•140-160mm-travel Fox 34 Talas Performance fork with 15mm thru-axle
•Fox Float X Performance rear shock
•Giant P-AM2 rims, Giant Performance Tracker hubs, Sapim spokes
•SRAM X01 / X1 11-speed drivetrain with SRAM Guide R hydraulic disc brakes
Liv Intrigue SX
Valued at $4,299 CAD and built with the most aggressive female trail riders in mind, the Intrigue SX was created specifically for women who like to push the envelope on challenging terrain. It has the proven geometry of the Intrigue with added travel up front to help you conquer features and reach your full trail riding potential. The lightweight ALUXX SL aluminum frame is designed around 27.5 wheels with women’s-specific geometry. With 140mm of plush Maestro Suspension in the rear matched with an adjustable 140-160mm fork, you have more control to take on rugged terrain. Additional features include the tapered OverDrive steerer tube and a 15mm front thru-axle for precise steering, plus special cable routing for a dropper seatpost—so you can attack anything the trail throws at you without hesitation.
