    • January 13th, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 2

    • The crankbrothers headset features high quality sealed bearings, stainless steel lower cup and a five year warranty, but the main benefit is the super low stack height it offers. In short the product is quality, and perfect for keeping the …

    • January 11th, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 7

    • The king of all downhill tyres? The High Roller grips like mad offering predictable cornering and a great braking edge. In dry through to soft conditions the High Roller is king in its Super–Tacky incarnation. Basically the High Roller rules …

    • Dirt 100 2010: PANARACER TRAILRAKER

    • January 10th, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 0

    • The Trailraker is the best winter trail tyre out there. If your winter riding consists of more than just trail centres and your likely to encounter your fair share of the brown greasy stuff then we’d highly recommend you pick …

    • Dirt 100 2010: HUTCHINSON MUD DH

    • January 8th, 2010 @ 4:30 PM | 3

    • Our pick of the downhill mud tyres. While we also love the Maxxis Wetscream, but they require trimming down in all but the gloopiest of conditions. Where the Hutchinson scores top marks is on rolling resistance, it is common thought …

    • January 8th, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 3

    • There are a whole host of dirt and street tyres available for the trails, and you’d have to ask what the big difference between them all is? Well, it’s fair to say that ‘not much’ would often be the appropriate …

    • Dirt 100 2010: HUTCHINSON TORRO

    • January 7th, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 0

    • The Hutchinson Torro has a good profile and the transition from centre tread to corner grip feels spot on. The tyre tends to drift well and predictably, and easily copes with rocks and roots. The Torro gives you plenty of …

    • Dirt 100 2010: MAXXIS CROSSMARK

    • January 6th, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 0

    • This tyre has been a revelation for some of us here, after years of riding up and down hill on Maxxis’ High Rollers and Minions, fitting a pair of these is like strapping a rocket pack to your back; they …

    • Dirt 100 2010: BONTRAGER BIG EARL

    • January 5th, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 2

    • The Big Earl is a deceptive tyre, it looks like a big bloater that would leave you dragging extra weight around the trail and slowly drain your legs, but this is not the case. The tyre is surprisingly light for …

    • January 3rd, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 4

    • January 2nd, 2010 @ 9:30 AM | 3

    • The Superstar brand makes no bones to their customers about what they are all about. They aim to source the best specification products that come out of the factories of the Far East and all too often get branded up …

    • Dirt 100 2010: SUN MTX 29, MAVIC 729, MAVIC XM819 DISC

    • December 31st, 2009 @ 9:30 AM | 0

    • SUN MTX 29:
      We loved the MTX last year and we’ve continued to hammer them on different bikes this year. The MTX 29 rim is one that has endured more punishment than Max Mosley in an after hour’s dominance party. I’d …
