2011 SHIFT GEAR FIRST LOOK..

JGRMX riders Josh Grant and Justin Brayton will be debuting Shift’s 2011 Baja Faction gear this weekend at Round 5 of the AMA Motocross Championship in Lakewood, CO.

Packed with top of the line performance features but always ready for a Fiesta, Shift’s new Baja Faction gear was built to handle anything Grant, Brayton, or Thunder Valley can throw at it.

Josh Grant comes into this round with a ton of momentum and will have his sights set on claiming his first win of the season. Brayton will also be looking for some strong results after putting in a solid performance last weekend in his first race since a pre-season injury.

Mountain Cycle go Carbon in 2011!!

A lot has been going on here behind the scenes, in what is a new Mountain Cycle. As you all have probably already found out, we closed the EU office late last year and moved Mountain Cycle back to where it belonged, in California. Since then it's been full tilt, as we roar towards March 2011 with an all new product line, the first 100% all new Mountain Cycle lineup for many years.

Planning the new line has been, and continues to be a massive amount of work, designing every bike from the ground up. As part of the re-jigged set up, we have vowed not to show a single thing until we can give it to you in a box to take home. No displaying prototypes or pre-production designs, when you do see the new 2011 line, it will be boxed and on its way...

But! We will share with you a little tit-bit....

We thought we'd hit the ground a little earlier with something fresh, so due around September will be the first all new Mountain Cycle, the 'Twentysixandsix'.

What better way to show that we are back than by introducing a super simple and wickedly light carbon fiber cross country hard tail. We know the cross country folk out there have been neglected by us over the past years, so we are coming back with a 1200 gram frame and a build spec that's super clean and ultra lean.

To top it off the 'Twentysixandsix' will be priced to wake you up and show that Mountain Cycle is 100% serious.

Haldon 55 Mountain Cycle rumble

Factory Mountain Cycle Rumble looking a little dusty after 50 miles of hard riding. So happy with how this bike rode, I thought it might hammer me on a long ride but its got a real smooth ride and tracks so well. Final build will be done later this week.
