[Tested] Onza Aquila tires

Onza Aquila

Last July Onza announced the arrival of the new Aquila tires, dedicated to enduro and downhill riding. Available in two casings, either in a lightweight TRC version, with single 60tpi ply and anti-cut reinforcement, or in a more robust GRC version, with double 120tpi ply and double anti-cut reinforcement, we received a set of 29-inch tires a few months ago with a TRC casing and 2.5-inch width. The weight measured on our scale was 1085 grams, slightly more than the claimed 1050 grams. The new version of the Eagle has more aggressive outer row knobs with 20 percent more height

[Tested] Giro Roust LS Wind Jersey / Havoc Pant

Right as the weather showed its first hints of cooling off a few months ago, Giro was kind enough to fire some cool temperature apparel for testing. The Roust Long Sleeve Wind Jersey features front panels at the chest and sleeves that are made from a wind resistant fabric with a merino blend on the back of the core and the sleeves for a nice combination of warmth and moisture management. The Havoc Pants are what I’d call mid duty in terms of their weight – not really a DH/Freeride pant, but rather a fairly tough but flexible and breathable

[Tested] PNW Range Composite Pedals

Over a good chunk of Summer and Fall, I’ve been riding PNW Components’ high value Range Composite pedals any time that I wasn’t clipped in. As a more affordable follow up to their Loam Alloy pedals, this pair takes the same general shape and profile and wraps it into a lighter and slightly less aggressive offering that costs half as much. Read on to see how they’ve been working out… Details 22 replaceable pins per pedal 7 colors 390 grams (verified) $49.00 USD Lifetime warranty As noted earlier, the general shape and size of the composite pedal is roughly the

[First Ride] Crankbrothers – Stamp Street Fabio

Today, crankbrothers is introducing Fabio Wibmer’s new signature shoe, dubbed the Stamp Street Fabio. While these are a casual looking flat pedal shoe, they still subtly manage to sneak a fair bit of tech into them. A few weeks ago, crankbrothers sent out a sample set for testing and I’ve had enough rides on them to pass on some first impressions. Read on for a deeper dive… Details US Sizing – Men’s: 3, 4, 5-13, 14. Women’s: 4.5-15.5 EVA mid-sole Bootie consctuction Elastic lace lock  $129.99 USD The first thing that pops out is the bootie style upper, which forgoes

[Dream Bike] Trek Fuel EX

A couple months ago, I was on the hunt for a new mid-travel personal bike and found myself largely unconvinced by most of the offerings on the market. Then a new, highly adjustable and longer in the tooth Trek Fuel EX was announced. When I reached out to Trek to inquire about testing one they offered to send a frameset for me to build out. On paper given that it had my ideal geometry, loads of adjustments (including leverage rate!), internal storage and the options of  air or coil and mullet or straight 29″, this was the ultimate Swiss army
