Mountain Bikes

Harley-Davidson spin-out Serial 1 has announced its second Select Series ebike. Based on the MOSH/CTY commuter, the trail-hungry limited-edition BASH/MTN has been treated to a suspension seat post, knobby tires and four-piston hydraulic brakes.

Sweden's Cake has added three new models to its two-wheeler mobility lineup, all of which are aimed at younger riders. The Kids Evolution program features the Ready balance bike, the Steady mountain bike and the Go off-road electric motorcycle.

Though Okai does have a couple of ebikes sat among the e-kickscooters in its product lineup, they're more like e-mopeds than road or trail rides. That's about to change with the CES 2022 debut of an electric pedal-assist mountainbike called the EB20.

California-based manufacturer Rungu is already known for its crazy dual-front-wheeled electric fatbikes. Well, the latest versions of the go-anywhere Dualies now feature not only a longer battery range, but also better ground clearance.

Spain's Orbea has added a new member to its Rise family of electric-assist mountain bikes. The Rise H is reckoned to be the lightest ebike in its class, and comes with a "highly optimized" battery with the option of a range extender.

It was just a couple of weeks ago that we told you about DirtySixer's latest 36-inch-wheeled mountain bike. If you liked it, but would prefer something with a carbon fiber frame and wheels, then you might want to check out the Trentasei//36 Carbon 1.

On most full-suspension mountain bikes, the rear shock sits between the swingarm and the main triangle, with connectors at either end. The Datum bike is different and supposedly better, though, in that its rear shock slides into the frame's top tube.

The rear derailleur is one of the most fragile components on a mountain bike, subject to getting bent or jammed up with trail debris. That's where the Supre Drive drivetrain comes in, as it moves the derailleur up and divides its functions between two locations.

Even though mountain bikers can manually adjust their bike's suspension, most of them don't constantly do so throughout each ride. That's where the new RockShox Flight Attendant system comes in, as it automatically adjusts the suspension as needed.

After suffering a brain injury in 2015, pro mountain biker Lorraine Truong was left partially paralyzed – this meant she could no longer ride a conventional bicycle. She's now back in the "saddle" again, though, thanks to the Orange Phase AD3 eMTB.

Scott is leaning heavy on integration for its latest Bosch-powered, trail-busting ebike. The Patron eRide rocks Bluetooth connectivity, hidden cables and an invisible rear shock integrated into the frame for a rugged look that'll keep the mud out.

Although different saddle angles are better for different cycling scenarios, most riders aren't likely to stop and adjust that angle every time the terrain changes. Aenomaly Constructs' SwitchGrade, however, allows them to do so quickly and easily.
