When Cam McCaul said he rode a Trek Stache 29+ at Ray’s Indoor MTB Park and realized how much fun the quirky monster-truck-like bike was, we decided to put him and the bike to the test. Could a rider as good as Cam actually do things like 360 a 29+ bike? Tailwhip it? What if he used a set of stairs as a ramp? Could he drag bars on the pavement? Could he pass a downhiller on it at a bike park? Can it be manualed? The answers lie in our 29+ Challenge video.

Tucker the trail dog takes Jeff Brines out for a ride in Targhee, Wyoming for some really late-season singletrack shredding!
“It’s one of those idea that makes you smile when you come up with it, but also one of those idea that complicates your life because you will never give up on making it a reality. The idea was simple and challenging: take a rider on a trip to a city never knowingly visited by Pro riders, and announce the destination when we bring the rider to the airport; just for the pleasure of seeing his face when he learns the news. We chose France’s Kevin Kalkoff for this first episode, told him he was going on trip, and gave him nothing more than the date. To add some brotherhood we also invited his brother Thomas Benedetti to surprise him by joining the tour. Both discovered their destination to be SPLIT, in Croatia, a beautiful city on the Adriatic coast with many spots in the surroundings.” – Ben Bello
