Last week was big in the world of braking for mountain bikes. SRAM released their new “Trail” series of brakes in their and X.0 lineup. While we have always been a big fan of the Avid brakes, this takes their product to the next level we have been looking for. At Bike198, there are two brakes that [...]
This past weekend was the SE Bike Expo, so I headed up on Saturday to take a look at this first annual event (that also happens to be an hour from where I live). The SE has needed something like this for a long time. There is a very strong riding community here that never [...]
Over Facebook this afternoon, SRAM leaked a new rear derailleur they have been working on that bears resemblance to the traditional X.0 unit with a revised front section. While many were wondering if this was hydraulic or just a new design, it appears this new rear derailleur from SRAM is looking to compete with the [...]
We all already know about the dirt demo at Interbike and the Outer Bike event in Moab (even if you do live on the other side of the pond…you have at least heard of it). These events straddle the Interbike trade show and allow media and then the public to test out the latest and [...]

Shimano’s XTR component group has been long regarded as the best components money can buy for mountain bikes. With industry leading lightweight and design, XTR graces the front pages of industry mags as riders drool over the technology that has been introduced with this line over time.

The Pro SL3 is in for review and it sits right below the S-Works lineup in the series of Tarmac’s. With two colors depending on build kit, you can get your Tarmac Pro SL3 kitted out [...]
Finding the best discount bike parts and mountain bikes is going to become even more crucial as years roll on. It is painfully obvious that the prices of new mountain bike frames and components are not decreasing anytime soon (seems like the price of mountain bikes and components keep going up! Check out the new [...]
Honestly…I can’t say I am too surprised. These two heavyweights of the mountain bike component market have been going at it for awhile now. Ever since SRAM stepped up its game with the X series and 1:1 actuation ratio, Shimano had lost its lack of competition in the world of dirt. With two different component [...]
As with any great battle amongst the top two competitors, there is a decided split amongst the masses as they choose sides and defend their choice. In the mountain biking world, there is no greater rivalry in the component market than SRAM and Shimano. Each with their loyal followers that scream their greatness from the [...]

Technology seems to moving forward at a rapid pace as companies within the mountain bike industry are all looking for the next new and exciting gear that [...]
I’m sure you have already seen the spy pictures and specs. Shimano and SRAM are both making a push on the new 10 speed platform for 2011.
