FIRST IMPRESSION - BMC FOUR-STROKE FS01 29: The XC-ish 100mm of travel front and rear is made more playful by a 70-degree head tube angle and a long top tube/short stem combo, and total weight for this carbon-framed beauty is under 24lbs.

FIRST IMPRESSION - KONA RAIJIN: Since surviving the Trans-Sylvania Epic I’ve been stoked on the Kona's ride quality. The oversize Ti isn’t noticeably flexy, but there is give to the rear end to take the edge of the never-ending rocks.

DIRT RAG'S RACE REPORT FROM FORT WILLIAM WORLD CUP: We traveled to Scotland for the opening round of the World Cup downhill series where racers tackled the famed rocks and roots of Ben Nevis. See how the action played out.

FIRST IMPRESSION - SANTA CRUZ SOLO AND REDESIGNED TALLBOY2: The Bronson has a little brother: the all-new, 27.5-inch Solo, sporting 125mm of VPP travel. We took it—and the second-generation Tallboy 29er—for a spin in Scotland.

Danny MacAskill's 'Imaginate' riding film is here Perhaps the most highly anticipated riding video in years, Danny MacAskill's Imaginate is the vision of one of the most creative riders in the world.	Racing the Trans-Sylvania Epic isn't about racing I made friends last week that I am sure will last a lifetime and that, if for no other reason, is worth the cost, effort, and blood that it takes to race in the TSE.
First Impression: Kona Raijin Ti hardtail Since surviving the Trans-Sylvania Epic I’ve been stoked on the ride. The oversize Ti isn’t noticeably flexy, but there is give to the rear end to take the edge of the never-ending rocks.	Oh, there’s one more thing… A new Santa Cruz Heckler The Heckler, one of the brand’s longest-running and most loved models, is back in its seventh generation, updated with all the modern standards, technologies and the progressive geometry of the Bronson.
Trans-Sylvania Epic bike checks - the top racers and their rides We chased down some noteable names from the Trans-Sylvania Epic and asked them about their bikes.
