Spencer, long a fan of Ergon’s ergonomic offerings, initially thought its new GT1 grip looked close to what he’d always dreamed of from the brand. While missing the mark of being his dream grip, the GT1 has a lot to offer to seasoned ergonomic grip fans and the wing-curious. Check out his full review below…
At the end of each year, The Radavist contributor network compiles a list of their favorite products. This year, we’ve upped the ante to include our favorite products, rides, experiences, and more. Read on for John’s list from 2024…
This is a good time for thick grips. There are more options than ever for anyone seeking a little extra surface area. Travis is a bit of an expert on the subject, and never travels without a set of grips 33 mm or larger in case he needs to borrow a bike. So, he’s gathered a baker’s dozen and gave them a squeeze.
The Radavist thanks 1-Up USA for sponsoring our Sea Otter Classic 2024 coverage!
Josh and John were at Sea Otter Classic this week, covering people, products, and bikes on display. We’ve pulled together a few über galleries for your enjoyment, so let’s get into Part 01!
For those looking for the ultimate in comfort, the Ergon SMC Core saddles ($159.95) are unlike anything we’ve ridden before. Based on the popularity and success of the SMC saddle series comes additional models featuring Ergon’s Core and TwinShell technology. What makes these saddles so unique is the patented CORE 3D® design. As your hips rock with each pedal stroke, the saddle moves side to side, following pelvic movements. This reduces pressure on the sit bones. The sensation is particularly noticeable if you don’t wear padded shorts.

Spencer Harding is up next and below, joins our team of contributors and editors in sharing a list of favorite products and albums of 2023. A few of his picks are things he’s had for a while and have withstood the test of time and extended use. Others include some new gadgets as well as one non-bike-related product for good measure. He also put together a list of album and podcast recommendations. Let’s get right into it below!
Continuing with our editors’ Favorite Products of 2023, we look at Morgan‘s list, which breaks down into the following categories: carrying stuff, community, self-sufficiency, and pieces of flair. Let’s check out what Morgan enjoyed using this year!

The Sweet Spot from Bozeman, MT-based Sklar Bikes is a steel hardtail mountain bike designed to be a venerable quiver-killer. Built around 150mm of front suspension, with clearance for up to 29 x 2.8 tires, its geometry embraces builder Adam Sklar’s mantra of “fast is fun, but fun is fun-er.” Sweet Spots were Adam’s first foray into offering a small batch frame design and sizing, which he hopes will make his bikes more accessible and faster to produce.
I picked up a Sweet Spot of my own earlier this spring after many years of searching for the perfect hardtail. Due to a few requests I had to make it even sweeter, it turned into a custom project that retained the established Sweet Spot geometry and material selection. Below, let’s take a closer look at my build in addition to a brief interview with Adam about these bikes and his design/build process!

We’ve featured Cari’s Elephant National Forest Explorer before, back in 2016, and yet every time it pops up in our social media here at the Radavist, people request an updated feature…
We’ve sung Ergon’s praises before and a recent announcement should pique the interest of DH and gravity riders. The new GD1 MTB grip offers ergonomics and comfort, fine-tuned for the rigors of racing flat-out down the most rugged trails. The GD1 Evo features more damping, better control, and enhanced comfort, resulting in less gripping power due to its conical shape, super soft thumb zone, and new inner stop design. In addition, the factory version features a unique rubber compound exclusively made in Germany for an even more precise grip feel. The GD1 Evo is twist-proof on carbon handlebars and available in two diameters.
