Source: Cove BikesCove Bikes is excited to announce the return of Ben Boyko to its Factory Team Program in 2010 and beyond.
"I'm stoked as ever to be back riding on Cove, they have a perfect understanding of the sport as far as product development and the athletes are concerned. It's great to be with a Canadian company that has been involved in freeriding since day one. Cove has the bikes that match the new school riding and suit my style so I am super excited about the new partnership." says Boyko.
More details inside,Running a full stable of Cove Bikes, including the highly anticipated G-Spot and the re-redesigned Hooker, Boyko will continue to unload his big bag of tricks all over contests, film projects and photo shoots this season.
“Ben’s status within the industry and his already established presence in the media is the perfect platform to show the public what the G-spot is capable of,” says Cove Sales Manager Stuart Kerr “plus his experience in product development can only strengthen our solid lineup of North Shore proven bikes.”
Cove founder Chaz Romalis added “I’m stoked to have local talent representing Cove at a world class level.”
Third year Cove Slopestyle athlete Eric Lawrenuk is pumped to have Ben on board. “I have always admired the perfect stunts that Ben builds, and how they make for sick cover shots. Maybe I can learn a thing or two about that from him!”
Boyko picked up his fresh Cove Foreplay frame and is already prepping for a trip to Spain this February with the FSA Gravity crew.
Ben will continue to be supported by Mavic, FSA Gravity and Rockstar Energy Drink.
Cove Bikes’ Factory Team program is supported by: SRAM, RockShox, Truvativ, Avid, E-Thirteen, Dakine, Obtanium Performace Springs, Oakley, Troy Lee Designs, FSA, Mavic, Okanagan Springs and WTB.

Cove>Norco!
bad for norco great for cove!!!
this is what norco does, jumps on the newest bandwagon when they think they could get something better.
good for boyko.
And all you little shitheads saying he's a dick!
what do you know? do you know him personally?
no you don't, none of you have even met him. and if you had, what does one short term meeting with a guy tell you about him? nothing
every mountain bike pro could be called a dick if thats the way you judge it.
they're mountain bikers, not politicians. give him a break. i know this guy. he's solid
maybe you were the dick?
btw. norco sponsors nerds!
Good luck this season! Ride them hookers hard
i don't like to say it
but its all about the warranty
norco, giant, specialized
those are the only bikes worth buying
or you could go buy an evil, and mangle all the fancy specific hardware and not have a bike to ride for ages
or a devinci with plastic pivots
or an intense that will break and offer you the worst service ever
or a small company who's bike may rule but won't honour a warranty
buy wise
bigtard actually has a point here.
Remedy, Top Fuel, Fuel EX, Session 88, Elite SSL, Madone, Equinox, Ticket, and Scratch. Those are the frames that are available. That's all of their major bike lines. I also work at a Trek dealer and wrench on them every day, and I have worked at several other Trek dealers in the past 11 years. I have a few customers well over the 200 pound mark on Madone 5.2 bikes and they have yet to have any issues with their frames, so I'd say that their carbon technology is sound.
Id also like add from shop experience (even if its less than you three but love it all the same) that Ive prob seen just as many small company broken frames, including Cove, as I have large ones.
