Specialized Is Trying to Make E-Bike Overlanding a Thing

Cant even dispersed camp anymore without being looped in with all the ridiculous "overlanders". Apparently camping in the woods is impossible without $12k accessories bolted to everything.

Throwback Thursday: 'Life Cycles' - The Greatest Mountain Bike Movie Ever Made?

For me NWD series defined what was possible on a bike and pulled me into the sport. Collective and Seasons defined the lifestyle and mindset moving forward. I miss the anticipation of a physical DVD arriving in the mail and gathering the buddies to watch it on repeat all night while we planned out next trip. Good times.

Testing a 32" Mega Mullet Downhill Bike Against the Clock

Even if this just benefits racers. It will get forced upon us regular joes by the manufacturers. And there in lies the problem.

The Specialized Demo 11 is Finally Here (And It's $6,500 Just for the Frame)

So they couldn't just give us an actual gear box. They had to mimic one, to satisfy the big-derailer overlords. They picked a perfect economic time to release the most expensive DH frame ever offered too. [Reply]
