COMPETITIVE XC
Let's be honest here: The endless pursuit of speed is the reason you ride. That might mean beating up on the regulars at your Saturday morning ride or leading the pack through a tough section of trail at a NORBA National. Proven at every level of competition-our 2007 S-Works edition has already won a UCI World Cup. The Epic, with its incredibly efficient Flow Control Brain suspension technology, is the fastest suspension bike in the world. Src: specialized.com

Have you ever traveled from race to race sleeping on piles of used tires in the back of panel vans? Do you view the Top Ramen® supplies as life support? Stab Deluxe is a Privateer's race ready downhill bike that will get you in a position to ask us for a Stab Supreme for free. These bikes are 100% podium ready, and our operators are standing by. See the detail at wiggle
If you're an aspiring privateer trying to climb into local Top 10 finishes, the Kikapu Deluxe has enough cross country race ready components to get you there. The lactic acid build up and bile regurgitation is all up to you. See the detail at wiggle
The Kikapu Deluxe upgrades the features and components that take the most abuse from intensive XC racing. Cross country riding, and cross country racing are cornerstones of Kona Bicycles. For the last 17 years we've collaborated with (and sponsored) some of the fastest racers in the world, who ride the most demanding courses out there. Each one of them contributes to design and innovation in order for our bikes to withstand World Cup racing, and the brutal punishment it puts on equipment. See the detail at wiggle
Using the same time proven frame as the Dawg Supreme, the Dawg is a great way to justify getting one of those "if I can only get one bike" bikes into the garage. It's an awesome all around, all mountain, all trail, all day bike. Your other option is to strap a Freeride bike to your back as you ride your Cross Country bike up the hill....lame. See the detail at wiggle

Bicycling, April 2007 - NAMED EDITOR'S CHOICE, Best Full Suspension Bike Under $1000 - "One tester exulted that 'a few years ago, you had to drop $1500-plus for a bike with hydraulic brakes, quality suspension and adjustable travel, but the Otero gives you all of that for a mere $750'. And while the other two bikes featured here are nicely equipped, it's save to say 'bikes at this price don't get any better than the 'Goose.' The Otero's Suntour fork and air-sprung shock 'far outshined the competition,' and it had the best brakes. We also noted that 'it's a stout climber and steers well.'See the detail at mongoose
Mountain Bike, May 2007 - "Because it weighs a little more than 26 pounds, you might think the Canaan Elite is beefy for an XC racer - until you start to hammer and realize the suspension is so dialed and the spec is so dead-on that the Canaan Elite is perfectly race-ready out of the cardboard. The slightly relaxed (69.5-degree) head angle isn't as aggro as that of some pure race bikes, but that's all to the good, because the Canaan Elite is meant to be the ideal 24-hour machine - a mellower head angle doesn't steer as nervously as a steeper one, and consequently is more forgiving of fatigue-induced brain fade. It also makes the bike more fun as an all-around trail rig.
WhatMountainBike (UK), June 2007 - Rated 9 out of 10 - "Lightweight, super fast and incredible fully loaded value." VeloNews 2007 Buyer's Guide - "The 24 Hours of Canaan was one of the first 24-hour mountain-bike races, ushering in the era of ultra-endurance mountain biking in the United States. Just looking at the Canaan Team, you might dismiss it as out of your price range. However, at $3000, Mongoose delivers a suspension design and component package that would cost a third more if sold by another company. Pacific Cycle - the parent company of Mongoose - has some serious buying power with its vendors, which translates to good deals for you. The Canaan Team's FreeDrive system relies on a patented floating bottom bracket system that counteracts pedaling inputs." See the detail at mongoose
Mountain Bike Action, March 2007 - "We've said, 'the Teocali is good news for the Mongoose faithful (and those new to the brand). For way less than $2500, you get a super-fun and super-capable trail bike. Riders who frequent rought and rocky trails will benefit the most from the FreeDrive rear suspension, but riders on smoother terrain don't have to pay a penalty in suspension bobbing or weight.' There are four models (one for women riders) from $1100 to $2300." Mountain Bike, November 2006 - Named BEST VALUE in Gear of the Year issue. "The all-mountain wars continue to rage, with not only more travel coming each year, but also better-dialed travel at killer prices. Speaking of the latter, we're blown away by this amazing steal. The 31-pound Teocali Elite offers a great air-sprung suspension with nearly 6 inches of travel front and rear. Bonus points: a high-quality spec, even at this blue-collar sticker."See the detail at mongoose
This full suspension MTB comes with the kind of kit you expect to find on a Focus bike. It features the award winning Magura Wotan Forks, Magura Louise Carbon brakes, SRAM X.9 twist shifters and X.0 rear derailleur, along with a DT rear shock and wheels.See the detail at wiggle
