Details

We shut the factory down daily and suit up for our lunch ride. It’s not only a way to blow off steam and build camaraderie, but also serves as a proving ground for spec and product decisions.

After testing and riding nearly everything, this is how we spec our personal bikes. It has 10mm more travel up front and a burlier shock in back. Built for speed.

We love tinkering with our bikes and through the process of riding, we often land on a hybrid spec that we all run.

For SB5 lunch ride the suspension has been upgraded to a Fox 36 / 160mm fork for added travel and Fox Float DPX2 shock for ripping descents. The tires and rotors have been beefed up to a Maxxis Minion 2.5” and Aggressor 2.3” front and rear, and larger 180mm rotors.
