Jump aboard the new COMMENCAL T.E.M.P.O with Hugo Frixtalon in British Columbia for this edit that oozes that late summer heat feel!
The T.E.M.P.O is our brand new short travel trail bike, a real playful powerhouse, designed to make the most of all those dream trails where the terrain is just calling out for you to enjoy.
Postcard from San Francisco is MacAskill’s first out-and-out MTB street trials edit for more than a decade, it is a display of his phenomenal bike handling skills and determination to go for the biggest (and riskiest) bangers.
Kiran MacKinnon is a human dyno. When Santa Cruz Bicycles needs to test, experiment and validate suspension then Kiran is the one of the main people we call on to do that work. Not only is he an extremely talented bike rider and incredibly knowledgeable about suspension, but he can actually interpret and translate what he’s feeling in a way that he can communicate to the rest of the engineering team. This enables them to cross-reference the data they’ve collected with real life, on-trail experience to build better bikes and provide the right setup for our riders. We’re constantly refining our VPP™ suspension as well as the damping tunes shocks we spec on our bikes in order to make sure our bikes ride really, really good.
Kona Gravity Rider and North Shore native Caleb Holonko has been turning heads with his classic mix of heavy hitting and super stylish riding. On a recent visit to the Kootenays with his Process X, he teamed up with local filmer Logan Williams and put together this solid clip that just scratches the surface of what both Caleb and the region have to offer.
“Throughout my life, I’ve spent many summers road tripping to the B.C. interior with very minimal exploration outside of Christina Lake. After seeing so many friends post and rave about the amazing trails, I decided to venture to Castlegar and Nelson for my first taste. Man, did it deliver! Endless single track, crazy woodwork, and some untouchable flow trails! It was great to put my little flair on trails that I normally would just chill through.
Thanks to all the trail builders that are killing it out there! I would love to buy you a bunch of beers, ya’ll are crushing it” – Caleb Holonko

It’s a sad sad day. No SX Trail for 2013
Guess they couldn’t make it in a 29er. Even though they said a few years ago they’d never make a 29er, ever. I wonder if they’ll never make a 650 too?
LR- Enduro evo (180mm) has replaced it, in a way they have gone a full circle since the sx trail started as an enduro. Now if they are bringing it into NZ this year or not…you will have to talk to your friendly local dealer.http://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/First-Look-2013-Specialized-Enduro-EVO,4205/Slideshow,0/bturman,109
they’ve beefed up the rear travel on the standard enduro to 165mm which is comparable to the sx. headangle’s also similar at 66.5 with a 160mm fork
The SX trail has been over 165mm since 2006 (maybe even 2005?). The 2011 and 2012 SX trail are directly comparable to the Enduro Evo, even having a slightly steep HA of 65
think 09 was the tipping point? prior to that the head angle was adjustable and travel was less that 170mm
@facebook-621024822:disqus Travel for 2006 is listed as 6.6″(167.6mm) and listed as 170mm from 2007 to 2011. The head angle of 2006 was 66.5 in the low shuttle setting. In 2011 it jumped to 180mm of travel and a 65.5 head angle. I owned a 2006 SX trail and it was a fantastic bike.
Yep. But still the end of an era.
