The all new Santa Cruz V10 for 2019

December 5, 2018 Freerider MTB MAG

A project two years in the making, the newest Santa Cruz V10 has arrived—but wait, there are two! As Santa Cruz developed the 29er race bike for the Syndicate, it became apparent that not all riders would fit on or prefer the 29-inch bike, so they made a 27.5 bike, too. To be clear, it’s two completely different frames—the production versions of both bikes were developed in parallel, and they’re both the recipients of two seasons of high-level suspension testing and tuning under the Syndicate. In addition to the two…

Make the fog disappear with AIRFLAPS

November 17, 2018 Freerider MTB MAG

Airflaps make the fog disappear and relieve the pressure exerted by the mask on the face. The constraints related to the use of a helmet and a mask in MTB are more present than motorcycle: intense efforts causing excess heat and perspiration, but lower speeds reducing the potential for ventilation in the mask. At the same time, the development of ATV-AE requires helmets that are closer and closer to those used on motorcycles. All these elements persuade us that AirFlaps has a great place to carve itself in the world of…

Video: VEE Tire Co. steps it up at Redbull Rampage 2018

October 23, 2018October 24, 2018 Freerider MTB MAG

Last year was a great experience for VEE Tire Co. supporting their first sponsored rider Vincent Tupin aka Vinny T, to the maddest freeride competition in the planet, Redbull Rampage. Using VEE’s Flow Rumba tire, Vinny ended in 14th after his big drop off and backflip trick. Not bad for both VEE and Vinny both being newbies to the event, but most importantly Vinny finished an intense weekend without any mechanical problems including the tires. This year VEE Tire Co. is lucky enough to get more invitations in Redbull Rampage…
