Rocky Mountain Pipeline 770 MSL Test Ride Review

First Look: MRP’s New Ribbon Fork Is a Head Turner

MRP’s newest fork, the Ribbon, is a literal head turner thanks to its reverse arch design. According to the MRP website, this is an “outcast arch design with forward-facing weight reliefs to mitigate mud build up and deliver a distinctive look.” The basic idea is that due to the spin of the tire, mud is always …

Watch: 2017 Fuji Rakan 27.5+/29er Review

Fuji really knocked it out of the park with the 2017 Rakan.  Most importantly they have changed the frame to handle both 27.5+ and 29er wheelsets which, in my opinion, is going to be the hottest trend of 2017 (and I love it!).
