Big Mountain has been riding Trek bikes since 2003. What can we say? Trek bikes rock. From carbon all-mountain dream machines to bike park leaders and cross-country stallions – ride a Trek and you’ll see what we mean. ~ trekbikes.com

Protecting your eyes is crucial when mountain biking. It’s also crucial when sipping a cappuccino on a patio in Southern France. Wherever we are and whatever we’re doing, rest assured we have our Smith’s on and we’re looking really good. ~ smithoptics.com

Is there a more important piece of gear for mountain bikers than your helmet? No. That’s why we trust Bell, a name that’s been around in cycling since cut-off jeans was all you needed to ride. ~ bellbikehelmets.com
