The fact that the crew at Moots plans on actually putting this beast to work merits its own post. With attachments for a shovel, a chainsaw rack, 6 pack rack and plenty of packing room, this fat bike is meant to maintain the trails surrounding the Moots facility. It’s gimmicky as hell but man, what a presentation!

What is titanium anyway? And where does it come from? Maybe from outer space? Who knows? We’re not really sure, but the folks over at Sanitas Cycles in Durango, Colorado, probably know. The Sanitas Tap Root is a trail-ready titanium hardtail with so much to offer. Today, in his review, Sean T. Randolph explains why this silver surfer is a great value and so much fun to ride!

During Josh’s trip to Paris earlier this summer, he visited the workshop of Maison Tamboite, who build stunning luxury bicycles in the heart of Paris. While there, Josh connected with builder Hugo Canivenc and documented his custom Cyfac fixed gear commuter.

Below, get to know Hugo, his personal bicycle, and Maison Tamboite…

The 2024 Breck Epic, which took place last month, is a multi-day race event comprised of six epic backcountry loops between 35 and 50 miles long. Beginning and ending in Breckenridge, CO, the event features a cloverleaf format, with each loop utilizing the sprawling trail networks of surrounding Summit and Park Counties.

Below – with stunning photography from Jace Stout, Cort Muller, and Eddie Clark – author Kurt Gensheimer gains elevation and perspective riding the 2024 Breck Epic, a stage race many consider the hardest of its kind in the world. Whether you’re a racer or just there for the experience, the Breck Epic delivers hypoxia, sore legs, and some of the best alpine singletrack you’ll ever ride!

John and Cari were in Melbourne for a few days following the 2024 MADE Australia showcase, which gave them some free time to visit a couple of shops, one of which was Prova Cycles.

Nestled inside this compact factory, siblings Mark and Kelly Hester build some of the most advanced bikes in the world. This two-person team has optimized production over the past four years, and it’s something to behold…

This little website got to shine a light on one of the many people involved in the early klunker and mountain bike scene in Northern California last night with our premiere VIP screening of Camera Corner. We’ve spent three years working on a feature-length documentary of Wende Cragg, and the Marin Museum of Bicycling was the perfect venue to debut this beautiful film…

Brooke’s preference for mountain bikes leans towards longer and slacker varieties. However, when the opportunity arose to test the all-new Liv Pique 29 Advanced, she couldn’t resist. There’s something to be said about a race-bred bike, no matter the terrain it’s intended for. The review of this cross-country race machine coincided with Brooke’s own training and participation in the Downieville Classic All-Mountain Championships, where light and lean Liv Pique proved to offer an edge.

And special thanks to Ryan Cleek for the stunning photoset!

This June, Meaghan Hackinen set out to compete in the Tour Divide. While no stranger to big rides or bikepacking races, this would be Meaghan’s longest off-pavement adventure yet. After a neck-and-neck race with Ana Jager, Meaghan reached Antelope Wells in a time of 15 days and 23 hours, winning the 2024 women’s division (7th overall) and setting the fastest women’s time for a grand depart.

In this reflective essay, Meaghan weaves together snapshots from her experience while exploring the invaluable but less visible support network that helped her achieve this Tour Divide win.

Following up on his gear-centric Q&A, this article explores everything food-related from Kurt Refsnider’s 3-month adventure last summer riding the length of the Continental Divide Trail (the bike-legal sections, that is). That trip was documented here on The Radavist in a series of articles – if you want to read more about the adventure, you can find those here.

Since posting our first look back in April, John’s been putting in miles on the Kona Ouroborus Supreme and finally wrapped his head around not only how to classify this bike but also what its best use case is. Is this the next stage in the evolution of gravel bikes?
