The pitch: The 2013 $700 Slant
RL2 fork was developed to keep up
with the current progression of our
trailbikes and riders’ abilities. With
trailbikes becoming lighter and more
capable, our suspension needs to
progress simultaneously. The
Slant RL2 is up to this task,
both with its brand-new chassis size and damper performance. The new 34-millimeter
stanchions support up to 6. 3
inches of travel while providing unprecedented chassis
stiffness. The RL2 damper
system’s dual-compression
circuits maximize absorption
efficiency while maintaining a
lively and supple small-bump
compliance. All this at only
4. 2 pounds gives you a trail
fork unlike any other.

The pitch: I really like the Gaerne Kobra MTB Shoes for
training. The fit and comfort is second to none and considering that sometimes I do 4- to 6-hour rides for endurance
conditioning, fit and support is extremely important to me. I
have tried several other shoes but the Gaernes are by far my
favorite. Gaerne makes awesome footwear. ;
