Review: Pole's 190mm-Travel Voima is Long, Slack & High
Pole has gone from making some of the most beautiful bikes in the industry to the ugliest. What was purposeful and progressive is now kooky and bizarre.

Video: Exploring the Relationship Between Rider & Trail Dog in 'Going Nowhere'
People need to be very careful with what they expect their dogs to be able to do. The sustained effort I see loads of people expecting from their dogs is ridiculous. Its one thing expecting a dog to keep up with you out for a run yourself, but making it sprint for miles (accumulative distance) while you are rolling on a bicycle is not what dogs are build to do. Im sure everyone does it with the best intentions, but sadly the dogs are the ones who suffer.

Isn’t polycarbonate and fiberglass the same thing?

Bell's New Full Face and Bargain MIPS Half Shell - Eurobike 2018
@richsoffar: maybe the tracks in the U.K. are too short, but the three to five minutes it takes to get to the bottom have never left me worried about ventilation. Even when riding in the alps it has never crossed my mind. Keeping my head and face safe on the other hand is on my mind the whole way down. A true DH helmet with mips and at an affordable price is a win for riders as far as I can see.

Bell's New Full Face and Bargain MIPS Half Shell - Eurobike 2018
You do realize that all the “New” light weight highly ventilated full face helmets everyone is marketing to you already exist in Bell’s line? This is a DH helmet, if you want a highly ventilated helmet they do the Super DH.

2017 Pinkbike Awards - Best Apparel and Protection Winner
In this day and age we should be used to the media making sweeping statements that are back up with zero evidence. Today we live in a world where perception is reality, and reality does little to shape perception...

Bell Launches 3 New Helmets for 2018 - First Look
The dial is for fine tuning the fit. Its not a strap to secure the helmet on your head. It sounds like you are confusing it with a retention feature which it isn't.

Kali Releases All New Full Face Helmet - Shiva 2.0
There is a lot of termanoligy used to describe the technology here that sounds good but doesn't quite add up. In some areas they say the impact is "absorbed", in others they say the energy is "dispersed", they also say energy is "diverted", as well as claiming energy is "dissipated". All of these words describe a very different thing, and when put into the context of head protection and how a helmet works under impact I have to say the marketing team at Kali is getting rather creative here.
