The Fatbar lite carbon is a terrific bar, but has one handicap, it is only 740mm wide. Now that Enduro bikes have become more capable, and are able to hit obstacles at higher speed and aggression, the natural progression is to fit these bikes with wider bars for more control and stability. This new carbon bar (suitable even for dual crown DH bikes) comes in at a wide-grip suiting 780mm, giving...

Everyone knows Indonesia is a surfing paradise, but it turns out that it’s a mountain biking paradise as well. Just ask Tito Tomasi – he recently returned from an incredible MTB trip around the expansive archipelago that took him to Bali and Sumbawa. You can almost feel the islands’ amazing energy as Tito rolls through them. The adventure started in Bali where Tito chases a trail around the Batur volcano. Then he heads on to Lombok island and the Rinjani volcano for a bigger challenge and a seriously fun ride. Finally, he rolls into Sumbawa and manages to catch a few decent waves. This trip was made possible by Lapierre bikes, SRAM, ION clothes, Urge helmet, POSCA coloring, Evoc, and Hutchinson tyres.

Yeti Cycles SB95 in it’s natural habitat, the mountains above Boulder, Colorado. Just a little about me, so you know what this bike has gone through, under my guidance. I’m 5’11” (181cm) and weigh 145 lbs (66kg). I’ve been mt biking for 20 years. While I don’t consider myself a bruiser by any means, I don’t ride gently on my bikes. I use them. I put them away wet. I’m not great with maintenance. I like to race occasionally, and I like to ride with my friends on a lot of the well known big rides in the mountains, like Monarch Crest, Wasatch Crest, and Two Elks. In other words, I’m a pretty normal rider. I know what works, what doesn’t, and I’ve seen a lot of junk over the years. And I love to get out there and ride new places, and have a bike that’s ready for new challenges.

In 2007 they introduced their innovative harness system that is designed to keep the hydration pack stable over the roughest terrain, called, quite cleverly,...
