Niner WFO RDO 2-Star Mountain Bike
$3,840.00When smashing trail and park days is what we live for we’re glad to have the Niner WFO RDO 2-Star Mountain Bike under us. This big hitter of a bike uses 170mm of CVA supplied suspension to offer a bottomless feel in the chunkiest of terrain. CVA suspension is designed specifically for Niner bikes to offer a surprisingly consistent pedaling platform even on a 170mm enduro and freeride smashing rig. The bike comes only in a 29in platform, courtesy of the Niner brand’s name, and with modern geo…

Niner WFO RDO 4-Star Mountain Bike
$5,560.00The WFO 9 makes its way back into Niner’s lineup with a whopping 170mm of rear travel and 180mm up front, making this the longest-travel steed to come out of the Colorado-based firm. Driven by the innovative CVA link design, the WFO pedals impressively well for a bike of this caliber, and when we point it downhill, there’s absolutely nothing we can’t monster-truck over. Built with a durable carbon frame, a FOX factory fork and shock, and Shimano’s revered XT 12-speed group, we love everythin…

Santa Cruz Bicycles Bronson Carbon XT Reserve Mountain Bike
$8,849.00While the industry continues to debate between 29 and 27. 5-inch wheels, some of us choose to reap the best qualities of both wheel sizes with the Santa Cruz Bronson. A big wheel up front keeps us rolling swiftly through rock gardens, steep chutes, and drops, while the smaller wheel out back lets us corner on a dime and make split-second line changes or pull impromptu manuals and wheelies. This particular bike is kitted out with XT 12-speed componentry and Santa Cruz’s esteemed Reserve carbo…

Santa Cruz Bicycles 5010 Carbon S Mountain Bike
$4,959.20When the whole industry is raving about Santa Cruz’s 29ers, it’s easy to forget that some of our best rides are on shorter travel 27. 5in bikes. Touted by many riders as the “fun wheel size,” 27. 5in wheels have a playfulness and agility to them that 29ers simply can’t match, and the all-new Santa Cruz 5010 brings out these qualities in full. Bonus lines and trailside jibs are highly encouraged, and the bike practically begs to go airborne. At the same time, the new lower-link VPP suspension…

Pivot Firebird Race XT Mountain Bike
$6,599.00When we’re staring down a steep trail full of roots, rocks, and drops, we’re glad we have the Pivot Firebird to tackle the terrain with speed and prowess. Designed for elite enduro racing, the Firebird is what we ride on the most difficult trails, as it converts our nervous energy into confidence and control as we race our way down the mountain. Though downhill terrain is the Firebird’s forte, the DW-Link suspension platform and Pivot’s legendary carbon frame make for an efficient bike that …

Pivot Mach 6 Pro X01 Eagle Coil Mountain Bike
$9,199.0027. 5in wheels definitely aren’t dead. In fact, there’s a large subset of riders that couldn’t care less about the marginal speed benefits of 29in wheels, because all they need is a burly bike that can send the biggest lines on the mountain and pedal back up to the top without much fuss. Oh, and there’s the fact that the smaller-diameter 27. 5 wheels are inherently stronger than 29ers, not to mention their proclivity for slashing berms at the bike park and tackling untamed backcountry lines …

Pivot Firebird Pro XT/XTR X2 Mountain Bike
$7,999.00The Firebird is the flagship enduro race bike from Pivot, but we’ve found this Firebird Pro X2 XT/XTR Mountain Bike to be so much more capable than a mushy race bike. Slacked out, longer, lighter, and more aggressive all describe really well what the new Firebird does but the real magic happens in the DW-Link suspension that offers a supportive feel on climbs and playful terrain. Whether we’re sprinting through the last corner on an enduro stage or taking hit after hit at the bike park the n…

Pivot Firebird Ride GX/X01 Eagle Mountain Bike
$7,099.00Big wheels and big travel make for some speedy descents aboard the Pivot Firebird Race X01 Mountain Bike. Bred for the highest levels of enduro racing, the Firebird is our first choice for black diamond runs and technical mountain terrain. But since it’s powered by an efficient DW-Link suspension platform and Pivot’s legendary carbon frame, we don’t hesitate to tackle big mileage rides deep in the forest, considering the Firebird pedals much more comfortably than other bikes in the enduro ca…

Juliana Roubion Carbon CC X01 Eagle Mountain Bike – 2022
$8,299.00Juliana’s new Roubion lets us saddle up knowing we can tackle anything the mountain throws at us. This 150mm trail bike struts mixed-wheel sizes, giving us the quick-rolling confidence of a 29er up front, and the precise maneuverability of a 27. 5in wheel out back. Like all Julianas, the Roubion is tuned for lighter weight riders than its Santa Cruz counterpart, the Bronson. The fourth-generation Roubion has a frame that’s purpose-built to work around a 27. 5in and 29in wheel combo, offering…

Juliana Roubion Carbon XT Mountain Bike
$7,449.00Designed to shake up the trail bike category by its roots, the mixed-wheel Roubion lets us saddle up knowing we’ll be more than prepared for anything we come across on dicey trails. With the plow-over-anything confidence of the 29in wheel up front, and the surgically-precise 27. 5in wheel in the back, this bike is far more capable than its 150mm of travel might suggest. Like all Julianas, the Roubion’s rear shock is hand-tuned for lighter-weight riders than its Santa Cruz counterpart, the Br…

Yeti Cycles SB115 Turq T1 XT Mountain Bike
$5,625.00When we’re putting in long rides for multiple days in a row, the SB115 is a perfect companion for putting in the miles. Blending character traits of a cross-country bike with that of a longer-travel trail bike, the SB115 lets us carry good speed through the tech without holding us back on thousand-foot climbs and 8-hour endurance rides. Yeti built it with trans-XC style racing in mind, but it makes a great daily driver for riders that prefer something light and snappy, as opposed to a heavy,…
