Outdoor Demo 2014: No Boys Allowed
The 140mm travel, Aluminum Liv Intrigue One will be shipping with a set of weight saving Giant P-TRX-1 carbon rims for 2015, along with SRAM's Guide R brakes. Other changes for 2015 include replacing SRAM GripShift with XO trigger shifters and a fancy new red and blue colorway. The Intrigue Advanced 1 retails for $4700 USD.
After seeing more and more technical terrain being added to XC races of late, Liv have decided to beef up their top of the line 100mm rear travel carbon Lust Advanced 0 with a 120mm RockShox Sid for 2015, giving the pilot an extra 20 mm to pummel trail with. The Advanced 0 has also moved away from Grip Shift and will be arriving on showroom floors with SRAM XX1 trigger shifters next year. The Lust Advanced 0 retails for $8050 USD.
Camelbak's Seth Biden created this scrapper bike to raise money for IMBA during the Outdoor Demo. A $5 donation will get you a pint glass (Full of beer) and entry to win. The leopard print thermal pack was actually scrounged off eBay for Camelbak's retro display, and if you're liking a reproduction of the original fluorescent thermal pack, you'll have to get yourself to Vegas, as a run of only 500 were made to sell at the show.
Nico Vouilloz is not only a gentleman, but a bonafide scholar when it comes to riding a bike. The ten time world champ was leading groups of eager participants out on rides from the Lapierre tent, with some keen, no doubt, to pit their skills against the master's.
Smith's new Overtake helmet, the road/XC sibling to the Forefront, will be available in quite a few color options that might appeal to women, including hot pink and black ombre (right.) The Overtake will be available in November.
Two gingers, one snap.
Imagine if you will, a women's protection vest with mesh siding, shorter sleeves and a longer torso - and to accompany this vest, a pair of women's crash pants with a shorter leg length. These imaginations are coming to fruition in 2015, but for now they are super secret prototypes, locked in the G-Form promo van. The men's products will be unchanged for 2015.
The thing about this roadie trials rider attacking a two inch skinny, is that it was pouring rain at the time.
Don't be fooled by these pretty faces. The women from Liv know how to ride a bike - and fix one too. They look after the North American and Canadian demo fleets, and spend their days ensuring their bikes are ready when you are.
Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition, there's no doubt companies are making conscious efforts to provide for the discerning consumer these days. Top left to right: Justin's Nut Butters - Low GI, sustainably sourced plant based fuel - delicious; Pro Bar's 160 calorie Fuel Bar is gluten free, organic, GMO free and vegan to boot; Infinite ISIS blends are made with ingredients that should help address common female trail food gripes like bloating and stomach cramps; Nuun low sugar sports drinks - better for your belly.
Five Ten are excited about the launch of their Women's Freerider shoe which will be available in both their original and canvas versions, and should start shipping in February.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For Osprey, each of their male hydration packs come with a female equivalent. The Raven has a shorter torso length than it's counterpart, the Raptor, as well as narrower shoulder straps and wider hip belts to better accommodate the female form. The 10-liter Raven retails for $120 USD.
Nothing in the clear blue desert skies, except for Devinci.
It's rare to see Leigh Donovan without a smile and now she's got even more of a reason to wear one. Leigh is being inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame tomorrow for her athletic achievements. Congratulations Leigh!
Something is a-brew at One Industries. Fed up with cinching and tweaking the men's kits, Rachel Atherton has been campaigning for a women's line to be developed. The call has been heard and the designers are up to something - but of the details, they're keeping mum.
Thumbs up for rocking this kit like a rock star.
The opulence of Las Vegas is never far off, even 40 minutes away in the desert, a reason can be found to roll out the red carpet.
Each year Duncan Riffle takes home a Las Vegas token in the form of a new tattoo. What would happen if we could get Claudio Calouri to agree to a helmet cam and a tattoo session with Duncan? "...He is just now starting with the needle and, OW! This is going to hurt."
Until 2015 Outdoor Demo. See ya!

Having tattoos for fashion/hype reasons is the lamest thing ever. These are 95% of the people with tattoos.
In my opinion there's a rule with tattoos: If you don't have a massive beard and super rough looks, a tattoo won't look good on you.
Now wearing a beanie half way on your head, and/or rocking a combover is blastemy!
Everyone and they're dad has a parted comb over..its hilarious.

Its ok for somebody to be proud of his father ...even for all the wrong reasons...but to drag that into a humorous ment post is quite lame.
I know that Germans are known for being a bit slow sometimes , but come on , fellar!
@themountain I dont think you understood my comment at all. I am proud of my father but not because of what I wrote. What I wrote only makes me sad. Also how is this self-righteous? Whats self-righteous in my oppinion are these do-gooders who talk about animal rights but wear clothing thats made by children in bangladesh. Who talk about social injustice but consume more than they produce. I have many friends like that, they recite the manifesto while taking a sip from their cocacola and playing with their iPhones. THAT is exactly what I wanted to talk about in my comment....
The thing is that I am someone who does not take social injustice, corrupt governments in africa cutting dirty deals with western cooperations and stuff like that lightly. I dont think it has to do with me being german, but whatever. I understand this isnt necessarily the best place for stuff like that , but well wakidesign triggered some emotions there
You guys should try drinking beer
But now we're taking the fun out of funeral. Let's put our partypants on again!
its great to see that Giant has spun off their women's specific brand "Liv" as its own entity for 2015. Between you and me, they also get the best colours on some of the bikes!
The reason? Women are really starting to get into cycling, both mountain and road, and there is money to be made from all those new cyclists.
Giant is also owned 1/3rd by a women, which explains the strong push behind LIV
same with many women's bikes both road and mountain. Often from the big manufacturers like Giant and Specialized, the women's bikes have awesome colours and graphics whilst many of the men's bikes are meh!

One of the nicest looking bikes I ever saw was the Specialized Fate women's carbon fibre hardtail 29'er in black, made my Stumpjumper Expert carbon 29'er look like cr*p in comparison
