For many of us, bicycles are a passion that develops early in childhood as the thrill of pedaling creates opportunities to explore beyond where your walking legs can take you.

Who does these sorts of things? I mean, what kind of person do you have to be to undertake an endeavor such as this? Is it the pleasure or the pain? Is it the challenge to say you “did it”? Or do you want to have a fun time doing something that you love very […]
When the title of a review starts with the headline “The Sage Skyline Could Be the Last Road Bike You Ever Buy”, you know some lofty goals have been set. From the sound of things, it does not look like we failed in that endeavour. We sent a Skyline road bike to our good friend […]
How do you compare one bicycle frame size to another? Geometry charts for bicycles can be quite confusing – there are so many numbers and measurements! And not every brand shares every measurement. Or they may list them differently. For example, some brands may tell you Bottom Bracket Drop while others will tell you Bottom […]
2 of our very own Frontier Team riders (Quoc Vo and John Lee) drove from SoCal to the high desert of Arizona to tackle the BWR AZ Wafer ride. The Wafer ride is a shorter version of the Waffle length ride, but keeps all of the fun stuff while dispensing with some of the more […]
Aloha (/əˈloʊhɑː/ə-LOH-hah, Hawaiian: [əˈlohə]) is the Hawaiian word for love, affection, peace, compassion and mercy, that is commonly used as a greeting.[1][2] It has a deeper cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians, for whom the term is used to define a force that holds together existence.

Since its launch in 2019, the Storm King has developed into quite the versatile bike. Race bike, trail bike, adventure bike, or even bikepacking, the Storm King does it all. The list of customers who build up different variants of the bike is constantly changing as well. Some builds are more “raw” while others can […]
Is something still a blur if it happened in the past but you are still in the blur? Would you say, “MADE 2023 was a blur…” or would you say “MADE 2023 is still blurry because of….”? Either way, the MADE 2023 show was amazing and easily the best show of the year to attend. […]
