AVS Racing Handguards - Review

I run these with a carbon bar. I had the exact same hesitation, but end of the day my carbon bar cost me $200. When I broke my hand again last year it cost me over $2000 in surgery/rehab bills not to mention the cost of having to take time off work - and that's with medical insurance. Like I mentioned in my previous post these protect you from the little saplings that often litter un-groomed trails. Do they look lame - sure/maybe/who the fuck cares. I'd rather not have to loose money or time spend 3 months off my bike because I was too concerned with not looking "cool"

AVS Racing Handguards - Review

I've got a set. Obviously all you guys are taking the pussy lines so you don't need these. Personally I don't want any more titanium in my hands thanks. Usually it isn't the big ass trees you hit it's the little bullshit saplings you hit cause you can barely see them at speed. They are small but they'll still snap a finger. These guards work. I've tested them out.

Enduro vs Trailbike: Marriage and Divorce - Opinion

Good article RC and something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I love my 155mm travel 29er the only thing I wish was that it was lighter. At just over 30lbs it isn't exactly light...it isn't exactly heavy either, but in the back of my mind I can't help but think - How much slower would less travel make me and how much faster would I be with a lighter bike. It's not just about the climbs, it's about getting up to speed. For me riding fast is what I love to do. A Pivot 429 Trail sits at ~26lbs. The Evil Following sits at ~27lbs.
