GT Sensor Review: Keeping Things Simple
The GT Sensor — this one is exciting. It’s not only a new bike for us to review but a new brand we’re carrying at the shop. The GT Sensor falls in the trail category with 140mm rear wheel travel, a 150mm fork, moderate geometry, and two 29” wheels. It doesn’t have all the bells…

Santa Cruz Tallboy Review: Version 5
It’s been a long time coming, but today, we finally have the Santa Cruz Tallboy 5.

Santa Cruz Heckler SL Review: Light, Fast and Fun
With ebikes becoming more and more popular, I’ve been hitting the gym, so I have the upper body strength to lift them in and out of the back of my truck. Turns out that was a big waste of time, and I can just stick with these little noodle arms. Santa Cruz dropped the Heckler…

Transition Relay Review: Your Only Bike?
I didn’t know whether to put the Transition Relay on the ebike channel or this one. The bike is a bit of a chameleon that adapts to different riders, terrain, choice in friends, and local ebike regulations. If that sentence didn’t pique your interest, you might want to see a doctor.
