Finally, the bikes are starting to catch up with the riders, with more and more purpose-built bikepacking rigs hitting the market. The Salsa Cutthroat is one such bike. According to …

Long Term Review: 2016 Commencal Meta AM V4 Race

The Meta AM V4 is Commencal’s bread-and-butter, 150mm rear wheel travel, 27.5″, all-mountain enduro machine. Already a mouthful of a description, I’d also like to add: bloody awesome!

Test Ride Review: Salsa Bucksaw Carbon

After riding the Turner King Khan at Outerbike last year, I instantly became a fan of dual suspension fat bikes. Interestingly, the number of fully-suspended fatties hasn’t really expanded since that time, but a slightly-updated version of the Salsa Bucksaw was announced last November: the Bucksaw Carbon. Essentially, the Bucksaw Carbon maintains the same geometry …
