Madone 5.1



This bike really moves. Great ability to climb hills, maintain speed in the flats and handles very well. I traded up from a Trek 2.1. I also upgraded wheel set to Bontrager racelite XL. Well worth the extra money.

Equinox TTX 9.9 SSL


Kona Here We Come

Let the flawless shifting of its SRAM Red components, the feathery light OCLV Red Carbon frame, and the wind-cheating shape of the Aeolus 5.0 wheels propel you to a personal best. Whether it’s a sprint distance event, an Ironman, or a local time trial series, the wind tunnel tested and extremely aerodynamic Equinox TTX delivers the speed and efficiency that you demand to go faster than the competition.

6700

The Trails Are Calling

Getting a trail-worthy bike shouldn't mean spending your way to the poor house. Luckily for you, there's the 6 Series from Trek: bikes with true off-road performance, thanks to judicious component selections and trickle-down frame technology from the big-brother 8 Series. The 6700 features all of the little touches to make this bike your next best friend. The right geometry, the right components, the right price. Indeed, the trails are calling.

8000 WSD

Fast, Light and Raceable

Lightweight bikes are fun to ride because they're easier to handle and let you travel further without getting as tired. Designed specifically for women, the 8500 WSD is the lightest WSD hardtail model Trek makes. In short, it's the best off-road hardtail choice we have for you. Ride it, love it, repeat.

8000

Fast, Light and Raceable

Racing may not be your number one priority, but that doesn't mean you want to ride anything less than the best. Sharing the same frame as the sleeper-hit surprise 8500, the 8000's performance will tackle hills and singletrack in no less a commanding demeanor, yet with parts to spare you some extra change at the end of the day.

8500

Fast, Light and Raceable

Racing may not be your number one priority, but that doesn't mean you want to ride anything less than the best. A sleeper hit right out of the box, Trek's lightweight 8500 hardtail will carve singletrack and crest hills with the best of 'em without lagging behind like a decades-old diesel.

Elite 9.7

Addicted to Speed

Speed is expensive, but this TCT Carbon hardtail frame will feed your addiction without breaking the bank. Built around the same frame as the Elite 9.8, the 9.7 features a components and parts mix designed to keep you at the front of the pack without taking all the food off your table—cause do you really want Junior eating your PowerBars?

Elite 9.8

Addicted to Speed

Looking for an ultra-light mountain bike that doesn't rely on ultra-expensive components to make weight? With the same proven, aggressive racing geometry as the top-dog 9.9 SSL, the Elite 9.8 puts Shimano XT componentry on a TCT Carbon frame for similar light weight as the flagship Elite.

Elite 9.9 SSL

Our Fastest Hardtail Ever

This is it — the highest caliber racing mountain bike available. At 19 lbs and with 100mm of front suspension, the all-new Elite 9.9 SSL features technology previously unavailable in a mountain bike. With OCLV Carbon and a no-cut off-road seatmast, the 9.9 SSL is the lightest, stiffest, and fastest hardtail mountain bike around.

69er

Have it All -- with gears!

69er is all about serious fun. With the superior momentum of a 29" front wheel matched to the excellent maneuverability of a 26" rear wheel, the 69er features the handling of a trail bike with the speed of a race bike. This 3x9 bike gives mere mortal riders the gears they need to keep things moving, plus the same rippin' Fox F29 fork that the big-wheelers are raving about

The Most Expensive Bike In The World

When this pedal of this bike hits metal — it strikes 24-karat gold. Scandinavian design team AURUMANIA (which means preoccupied with gold) debuted the Gold Bike last September, a luxury item touted as the world’s “most lavish and expensive bike.” Just 10 of the gold bikes were made and come outfitted with a hand-stitched, brown leather Brooks saddle. Oh, and each bike is “generously” bespeckled with more than 600 Swarovski crystals. The ticket for this ride only costs a little over $100,000.

The Supermotard: a track bike with mountain tires

This hybrid track bike with mountain bike wheels and it looks awesome. While there may be no particular need to mix the two bikes together, I can’t help but say that I rather like the fat wheeled look that this Supermotard has.

As for the name, I’d change it. But everything else is neat!

Electric Mountain Bikes





Mountain biking can be fun for all ages of people, and with new technologies, is accessible to most anyone. Recently companies have developed mountain bikes that have small electric motors which typically operate on the rear tire. These electric bikes can greatly assist getting up and over difficult terrain, making mountain bike trails only accessible to extraordinarily fit individuals usable to anyone.

Salsa Fargo 29er complete bike

COming in February - Please Feel free to pre-order since these will go fast.
If that long and winding road is beckoning to you…consider our adventure touring 29’er mountain bike, the Fargo. Crafted of Salsa Classico CroMoly, the Fargo is a bit of a bicycling anomaly: a disc brake only, drop bar mountain bike designed for fully-loaded touring. Drop bars provide multiple hand positions for long days on the road or trail. A full compliment of braze-on’s on the frame and fork allow for both front and rear racks and fenders. The investment cast chainstay-mounted disc brake mount is conveniently tucked out of the way, eliminating accessory mounting interference. Load as much or as little gear as you choose for your next adventure. Six (count ‘em, six) water bottle cage mounts (on sizes 18 – 24") help keep you hydrated on a long journey. The sloped toptube allows plenty of standover clearance for those fully-loaded starts and stops. Both frame and fork offers gobs of tire clearance. Run pavement friendly 700c x 35mm rubber, or throw on some big 29 x 2.4" meat (29 x 2.3" with Planet Bike Cascadia fenders). The Fargo is designed to take you wherever it is you wish to go. Throw a dart at a map, make some plans, load up your gear, and hit the two-wheel highway. Fargo. Go far.

This bike uses an eccentric BB shell that will allow it to be geared or single
speed. The bild kit comes as a 1x9 set up (1 gear up front and 9 in the rear).

SwissBike LX – Folding Mountain Bikes















The SwissBike LX is a full-size mountain bike with full size 26″ standard wheels. When folded, it measures just 36″ x 28″ x 12″, and can be unfolded into a full bike in less than 30 seconds without tools. The great thing about the bike is that it will fit in the boot of a car or can be stored in a cupboard.
