FIRST IMPRESSION - VAN DESSEL GIN AND TROMBONES: Cross season is now over nearly everywhere, but that doesn’t mean you can’t ride a kick ass cross bike. The Gin and Trombones has entered the singletrack, and it’s eating it for breakfast.

FIRST LOOK - KONA RAIJIN: Riding with the Kona gang near Tucson, Arizona, today, I got my first look at the Kona Raijin, the American-made titanium 29er we first heard about back in January. Click through for more details and photos.

REVIEW - KONA COILAIR : The basic premise for the Magic-Link-equipped CoilAir is its versatility. It teeters on the edge of being a full-blown downhill bike, but in a package you can still pedal back up the hill.

HOMEGROWN - MOOTS CYCLES: From steel to titanium, Moots has been building some of the highest quality frames in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, for nearly three decades. Dirt Rag got an insiders tour of their factory.

SKI WHAT YOU RIDE - A NEW KIND OF SINGLETRACK FEVER: A fresh layer of snow on the trails doesn't mean you have to stay home. Cross-country skiing is a great workout, affordable, and will keep you on the trails year 'round.
