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.  

After a few hard days on this bike, I’ve been reminded how nice it is to just ride. No diddling with suspension switches, no hunting around for the just the right gear.  

The 770 MSL is a great mix of form and function wrapped into a do-it-all package. It's aggressively tuned to handle big hit descents yet agile enough to be a daily trail bike in most any locale. 

Flaunting her 29-inch wheels along with frame sizes as small as 14-inches, this full suspension trail woman is proof that a small frame size doesn’t have to mean small wheels. 

With a carbon frame, a slack 69.5-degree headtube angle, low 12.1” bottom bracket, short 17.1” chainstays, and weighing in at a scant 22.5 pounds, the LES is meant to be a high performance race bike that affords a smoother ride than its XC brethren.  

Paired up with a 150mm Fox 34, the Enduro would be news just for the travel numbers, but those are just minor players here. The big news is 16.9-inch chainstays, paired up with a 13.1-inch high bottom bracket, and things just got really interesting. 

Lake has returned to the podium of winter cycing footwear with these boots that have worked from single digit temperatures up into the 40s.  

We review two pair of gloves and a waterproof, thermal shoe cover for keeping warm in the winter.  

Each day we've been sharing a different staffer's choices for their favorite gear of the year. Today's final round of picks are from Dirt Rag's editor, Mike Cushionbury.
