2019 HPC Revolution All-Terrain Bike

Los Angeles-based Hi-Power Cycles have outfitted their already impressive freeride electric bicycle with 4.8” Maxxis Minion tires. The resulting 2-wheeler is the 2019 HPC Revolution AT Bike, or what they tout as “the ultimate backcountry exploration bike in a class that has never existed until now; Downhill Fatbike.”

The fat tires on this bad boy make for excellent floatation and traction in even the softest terrain, without altering the suspension travel. A 14-speed Rohloff Speedhub ensures powerful torque, while a mid-drive motor with a power of up to 3000W offers a whopping 100-mile range and blistering speeds of over 45 mph.

Other details include a total weight of 76 lb, all aluminum 6061-T6 body, fully CNC’d swingarm, custom DVO factory-tuned FAT suspension (9 inches of progressive rate frame travel), and 12” of ground clearance so that you can confidently tackle any terrain that comes your way.

2018 Specialized Stumpjumper Trail Bike

Touted as the ultimate trail bike, the 2018 Specialized Stumpjumper has been developed using extensive mountain-specific tests with feedback from real riders in order to hit the perfect balance of stiffness and handling. The result “is a bike that feels like it’s riding on rails.”

The new Stumpjumper features one of the lightest trail frames on the market and a new sidearm that connects all three mounting points of the rear-end and shock to the frame, making for improved stiffness and better handling over bumps.

Full tubes can be found throughout the carbon frame so riders can easily adjust cable routing, while a new chainstay protector makes the drivetrain virtually silent and eliminates chain slap.

Even better, the bike can be customized however you want. It allows you to swap shocks and fit up to 3.0″ tires, making this 2-wheeler also the most versatile mountain bike Specialized has ever made.
