Yeti is turning the mountain bike world inside out with their Switch Infinity suspension platform. With seemingly contradictory characteristics: small bump compliance, big hit plushness, pedaling perfection, and light weight, no other bike boasts such a perfect blend of attributes. A portfolio of Switch Infinity bikes encompasses everything from XC / trail, with the new SB120, core trail bikes like the SB135 and SB140, to big mountain enduro and park, with the SB165 and SB160. For e-mtb lovers, the new 160E is a must have. Want to try a Yeti? We have a capable demo fleet of rotating Yetis between our City shop and The Lodge in Fairfax - come ride a Yeti and see why we consider them the ultimate dirt bike.
Our decision to take on a new brand is not one we take lightly. When we learned of Revel bikes, and the folks behind the brand, we knew we had to make them part of our Big Swingin' family. Revel has a clear goal: making the absolute best full suspension mountain bikes. Revel is the only company using the mostly unheard of, yet legendary CBF suspension design. Revel use incredible carbon layup technology developed by Jason Schiers, the original founder of Enve, and obsess over all details because they love riding great bikes even more than making them.
We opened a local, independent shop to be just that - local and independent. After admiring their bikes for many years (and our owner even having owned a Petaluma made Salsa a'la carte back in the day) we finally made a commitment to be an official Salsa Dealer in the City. There's no denying Salsa is a builder run by riders, for riders. Their category bending bikes, focus on fun & adventure, and desire to build bikes that others are simply not daring enough to attempt, really appeals to our sense of independence. And of course, we're always a fan of the irreverent.
With roots on California and Colorado, and being the first bike brand to go all in on 29 inch wheels, Niner's pedigree is fairly unique. They pretty much were the inventor of what's become the modern day gravel bike, when they launched their first drop bar bike, the RLT9 more than a decade ago.
We're big fans of all of Niner's bikes, from their XC, Trail, and Enduro bikes using Niner's CVA suspension, to their best in class line up of steel, alloy, and carbon gravel bikes.
And if you're looking for a good value in an e-MTB, we demo Niner's RIPe9 trail bike from our Lodge location in Fairfax
As parents ourselves, we've always admired bike builders trying to do better for the little ones. It never sat right with us that Dad has a 22lb rocket bike, but junior's whip tips the scales at 35lbs, with parts that aren't really designed around a child's little self.
The lightest, safest, smartest, most easy to ride kids bike. That's Woom Cycles. Woom, formerly a direct to consumer brand, has realized a better bike buying experience happens when the consumer has the backing of a good retailer: perfect, professional assembly, adjusting the bike to fit the little one correctly, dialing the bike in with the right modifications and accessories, and of course, having a place to return to should any problems arise, or for needed service.
We realize the last thing you might need in this world is an ultra-expensive titanium bicycle. We also understand if you ride with passion and look at every day spent on your bike as an investment in something you love- well, maybe it should be the first thing you really need. And if that's the case, we encourage you to check out Moots. After all, these are bikes are handmade in Colorado by people who live to ride... just like you.
