“It’s Electric!” — Kreidler Vitality Dice 29er E-Assist Mountain Bike Review

One of the big, over-arching stories from Interbike this year is e-mountain bikes. So, I decided that before I could write an article hating on mountain bikes with electric motors, I had to at least ride one first. Enter the Vitality Dice 29er by Kreidler, a company out of Germany.

Review: Niner Jet 9

The Jet 9 from Niner is a trail-ready 100mm full suspension 29er. Weighing in at one pound more than the carbon-framed Jet 9 RDO, the the aluminum-framed Jet 9 still tips the scales at a respectable ~26lbs with pedals. The four-star build kit (tested) includes a full X0 2×10 drivetrain, X0 brakes, Rock Shox SID …

Final Review: Diamondback Sortie 3 29er

As I mentioned in my on review article, the Diamondback Sortie 3 29er is the type of mountain bike I could ride day-in and day-out. And during my month-long road trip this summer, I did just that, and logged over 400 miles of incredible big-mountain singletrack in Bend, Oregon; Oakridge, Oregon; Salida, Colorado; and Steamboat …
