Mountain bike gear doesn’t come cheap, and as buyers, we want to know that our gear and apparel will last season after season. At a minimum, we need reliable gear that we can rely on on epic rides (read: getting lost and riding longer than expected) or when pushing our technical limits.

Not only is durable and reliable equipment cheaper in the long run, it’s also good for the environment. We’ve tested hundreds of products over the years and here are just a few of the items that stand out for their overall quality, durability and versatility.

We would also be delighted to receive one of these products as a gift. For more gift ideas for mountain bikers, check out these holiday gift guides or Black Friday mountain bike deals.

Semi-rigid Marin El Roy

If someone is holding a classic mountain bike, chances are the frame is steel or titanium. Not everyone has the budget for a Ti ride, but a steel bike like the Marin El Roy is within reach. This is a versatile bike with geo that won’t feel stale after just a few seasons, and it’s ready for any upgrades you might want to make down the road.

Velocio Alpha System

Kudos to these dedicated mountain bikers who can ride all year round even on snowy and freezing winter days. A big key to not freezing your ass on winter hikes is proper cold weather gear. Velocio’s Alpha System – the Alpha Long Sleeve Midlayer, Alpha Softshell Jacket and Alpha Glove – is a “warm, lightweight and highly breathable configuration”. [that] excels when it comes to sweating in cold weather.

• Price $119-$299
• Available at Velocio

Ride Concepts Hellion Elite Shoe

The Ride Concepts Hellion Elite Flat Pedal Shoe will have you saying, “Bring the tune!” The soft, sticky sole is designed for ultimate grip and confidence on technical terrain. And the D3O sockliner helps absorb impact and provides a bit of cushion so you can ride all day. Men’s and women’s models available (2021 model pictured above).

Stove Solo Ranger 2.0

Solo Stove, where have you been all our lives? Biking and campfires go together like college parties and red Solo mugs, and the Solo Stove Ranger 2.0 is the perfect size to bring the good times to any trail. This smokeless fireplace is self-contained and provides plenty of heat. Plus, you can use it at home for relaxing or grilling with a wide variety of accessories.

• Price: $179.99 sale (reg. $299.99)
• Buy from Solo Stove

Icebreaker BodyfitZone™ Merino 200 Baselayer

This Icebreaker base layer is the kind of thermal shirt you can wear at least 2-3 seasons of the year for the next 10 years. Made from 96% merino wool, it’s breathable and warm with thoughtful mesh ventilation on the upper back and sides. Men’s and women’s models available, also in lighter and heavier weights (warmth increases with weight).

Some tools are forever. It is said that when developing the Decade Chain Tool, Abbey broke 10,000 chains with just one tool, which equates to three chain breaks a day for 10 years. Both amateur and professional mechanics can appreciate high quality tools that have tight tolerances and are comfortable and reliable every time they are used. Abbey Bike Tools may be expensive, but they are also heirloom quality.

Patagonia Dirt Roamer Jacket

The Patagonia Dirt Roamer is a versatile mountain bike jacket that’s packable and ready to tackle all conditions: cool weather, wind and a bit of rain (it’s DWR treated). All Patagonia products come with an Ironclad warranty, which means any tears or defects can be repaired for the life of the product. Male and female models available.

EVOC Stage 12L Bike Hydration Pack

This epic hydration backpack has 12 liters of cargo space to carry everything you might need for an all-day adventure. Organizational features are second to none, with designated areas for a helmet, light, sunglasses, keys and an integrated rain cover. Plus, there are pockets on the pockets for small items like tools, snacks, and even the excess waist strap.

Moon Rigel Bike Light

Most of us will run out of power long before the Moon Rigel bike light does. This night light is super bright and packs a massive battery that lights up the trail for up to six hours. We got 2-3 night rides per charge and we like the ability to switch between two different beam patterns depending on conditions.

• Price: $247.99
• Buy from Wiggle.

Kitsbow denim shirt

Kitsbow is known for making high-quality apparel at its Fort Mill, NC factory using premium materials, and it really shows. The Kitsbow Icon Denim Shirt Signature Fit looks great and includes cycling specific features like a vented back panel and stretchy material that feels great on the bike. It is truly one of the most beautiful garments we own and will surely wear for years.

Stan’s Tire Sealant

This summer we ran a tubeless tire sealant test and found Stans to be one of the best at sealing punctures. Not only that, Pat found it lasted the longest in his 2018 long-term sealer test. Stans may not be the newest or flashiest sealer on the market, but it’s is still one of the most reliable we’ve found.

PNW Components Loam Dropper Post

There really is nothing quite like rolling over loam thanks to its consistent handling, soft, cushioned feel and earthy smell. Those first two also describe the PNW Loam Dropper pole, one of the most reliable and satisfying poles we’ve tested over the years. Home mechanics can adjust the cartridge pressure and set the stroke length for the trails and bike it’s on.

• Price: Sale from $159.20 to $167.20 (reg. $199 – $209)
• Buy on Amazon.

Lazer Jackal Helmet with KinetiCore

Protection against rotational shocks? Check. Magnetic chin strap buckle? Check. This half-shell helmet has the features mountain bikers crave PLUS a quality build that promises to last more than a season or two. With subtle and neutral color options, it will continue to look good too.

This article includes a mix of sponsored placements and products curated by Singletracks staff.

It turns out that Breadwinner Cycles is as tough as the bikes they make. The spunky company founded by former framebuilder-turned-bike messenger Ira Ryan and Utah-born mountain bike racer Tony Pereira celebrates a decade in business.

Ryan and Pereira started making bikes in 2006 and established their brands in Portland before joining forces in 2013 as Breadwinner. It didn’t take long for their combined talents and vision of building great bikes to garner national attention. Breadwinner won Bicycling magazine’s “Editor’s Choice” award in 2016 and has been riding ever since.

In 2017, they opened the Breadwinner Cafe next to their store on North Williams Avenue. It became a hub for local cyclists and was a great place for drinks and snacks, but after riding against income headwinds, Pereira and Ryan opted to close the doors in 2020. today, the store is still bustling, even without as much caffeine, largely due to the addition of the Sugar Wheel Works business they acquired in 2019.

With over 1,000 steel bikes in use around the world, Breadwinner wants to kick off its next decade. And to do that, they’ve just announced a custom-for-all version of their favorite bike, the “B-Road.” Named after the kind of roads Ryan was famous for riding when he had time to win big endurance races, the 10th Anniversary B-Road embodies the breadwinner spirit he and Pereira embody: he’s a tough and capable blue-collar man, but refined; It has just enough high-tech touches to make riding effortless, while maintaining a classic feel that creates a connection between rider and mount.

The breadwinner came out and spec’d this special limited-edition B-Road with the best parts in the business. It comes with a cool new graphics package that they say is “a nod to classic bike racing,” and can be yours for $6,995. And while you get a custom fit, you’ll still have your bike this spring thanks to a fast-track production promise.

Make yourself or someone you love very happy this holiday – and support this fundamental part of our cycling community – by grabbing one of these beautiful bikes! Learn more about it on their website.

And congratulations to Tony, Ira and the entire Breadwinner team. Your longevity testifies to the quality of your bikes and your character! Thanks for making it right.

Congratulations to one of Berkeley’s most popular people, Quentin “Chuck” Moore, the manager of Berkeley Ace Hardware, who will celebrate November 23, the 40th anniversary of the day he started working there.

“There’s an Ace Hardware near me,” says Ken Louie, who lives and works in San Rafael. “But I’d rather drive to Berkeley to see Chuck and the gang. I know that’s going to sound like an exaggeration, but it’s true: he’s the ultimate person, and he’s absolutely sincere about it. You talk to him and he makes you feel special. If he’s talking to someone else, he makes them feel special. Finally, I understood: it is Chuck who is special!

In fact, he would rather be called Quentin, but he’s too nice to correct anyone.

He arrives at work every morning on his classic black Harley Davidson motorcycle, but at the end of the day he doesn’t come home. Instead, he walks down the street to Berkeley High School, where he volunteers as an assistant offensive line coach for the football team.

“He gets along well with the kids,” says retired Berkeley Police Captain Waymon Jenkins, who volunteers as an assistant special teams coach. “They’re just trying to find their way in life and they have issues like anger issues. But he is able to calm them down and get their respect right away. There were a lot of games where we had fights, but that kind of thing got very cold. And for that, we have Coach Moore to thank.

“I never heard him insult a child. In fact, I never heard him swear. If a player makes a mistake, they’ll say, “Go ahead and don’t do it again,” and that’s it. He doesn’t let them skip class either. He told them, “You can’t go out into the field if you don’t have the notes; but more importantly, it’s your future. It’s really important that children understand that.

And they remember the lessons he taught them long after they grew up, as the man who coached an opposing team. Quentin didn’t recognize him until he took off his COVID-19 mask and said, “Coach Moore, don’t you remember me? You’re the reason I train because of the way you trained me.

“He also has a tender heart for the elderly,” Louie says. “He likes to help them.”

But it’s not all fun and games. As a store manager in downtown Berkeley, Quentin has had to deal with his share of crises and to that end he keeps himself dutifully up to date with his first aid training, including CPR for cardiac arrests, strokes and cases of suffocation.

He’s also had his share of celebrity clients, including Nicholas Cage, who bought a toy train; Whoopi Goldberg, who asked her to be her personal assistant for the day to keep autograph seekers away (“Sometimes she’d come in disguise, but it never worked out. People always knew who she was,” said Moore); and Stephen Hawking, who arrived with an entourage of six to check out the model trains.

“He loved those trains! The recreation department was in the basement, so we took it down in the elevator. He said, ‘You have a very nice store.’ I showed him books on trains and he bought them all.

“But it’s not about selling you stuff,” Louie says. “We have several pictures of him and our two daughters, and I noticed he had one posted on the wall near his desk. You can’t see it from the client’s side, but they can see it from where they’re sitting. My daughters met him when they were in elementary school. Now they’re in college, but they still love their Uncle Chuck. Every business needs someone like Chuck, and every person needs a friend like Chuck.

Or Quentin, if you prefer. Shakespeare was right: a rose by any other name would smell just as good.

India is no stranger to QJ Motor, or rather its products. Various sub-brands belonging to the Chinese two-wheeler maker – such as Benelli, Keeway, Moto Morini and Zontes – have already been introduced in India by Adishwar Auto Ride. But now Adishwar has seen fit to bring the main brand itself to the country. QJ is already present in 130 countries around the world and has sold over a million bikes worldwide. The company has an extensive portfolio of motorcycles ranging from small 110cc steppers to scooters and bikes all the way up to 1200cc machines.

As for their projects in India, Adishwar Auto plans to start with four products, which will arrive in India via the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) route and will be sold at Moto Vault showrooms in Adishwar. These products will range from 250cc to 500cc, namely, the SRC 250, SRC 500, SRV300 and the SRK 400.

The SRC 250 and 500 are part of the company’s range of classic style motorcycles, with the SRC 500 bearing a strong resemblance to the Benelli Imperiale, although this is fitted with a 480cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine developing 25, 5hp and 36Nm. The SRC 250, on the other hand, has a few more neo-retro design cues and is powered by a 250cc air/oil cooled single cylinder engine that produces 17.4hp and 17 Nm. While both bikes have wire-spoke wheels and disc brakes up front, the 500 gets a drum in the rear, while the 250 gets a rear disc. The 250 also gets an offset single-module digital instrument cluster, while the 500 gets an old-school analog two-module pukka instrument cluster.

The SRV 300 is an interesting little cruiser powered by a liquid-cooled 296cc V-twin engine good for 30.3hp and 26Nm. Even in design terms, it looks like a properly scaled-down Harley-Davidson Roadster. It uses disc brakes at both ends and an inverted fork as well. With Harley Davidson‘s small-capacity cruiser quite far down the road, the SRV 300 may well end up becoming the mini-Harley that many Indians dream of.

QJ Motors’ SRK 400 is the most modern bike of the lot, and it looks like it was built to do battle against KTM 390 Dukes. That said, it packs a 400cc parallel-twin engine that makes 40.9bhp and 37Nm. It also packs a lot of goodies, such as a USD fork and dual petal disc brakes up front. The chassis is a trellis frame unit with an offset monoshock (which is quite reminiscent of the Benelli TNT 300). The downside of all this equipment, however, is a rather high empty weight of 186 kg.

We expect these bikes to hit showrooms in late November or December 2022. And of course, we’ll have more details on these bikes as well as expected pricing soon. So stay tuned!

Motorcycles are a great way to get around, and they’re a lot of fun too. Speaking of cruiser bikes, they are a great option for those who want a motorcycle that is both comfortable and stylish. With its impressive list of features and comfortable touring capabilities, it is easy to see why this bike is so popular among all Indian riders.

If you’re looking for a comfortable ride to get around town or on long trips across the country, cruiser bikes will serve you well. There are many different cruiser bikes on the market, but finding one that’s affordable while still filling your checklist can be tricky. Here are five of the best cruiser bikes under 3 lakh available in 2022.

2. Yezdi Adventure

Another cruiser bike with more of an adventure bike look and a powerful motor is Yezdi Adventure. The motorcycle is equipped with a 334 cc engine which can produce the maximum power of 30.2 hp at 8,000 rpm and the maximum torque of 29.9 Nm at 6,500 rpm.

The bike is available in three different variants, including Adventure Slick Silver, Adventure Ranger Camo, and Adventure mambo Black. The Adventure Ranger Camo is the top model and is available at the price of Rs. 2.2 lakh (ex showroom).

Mileage: 30 Kpl

3. Benelli Imperial 400

The bike is available in one variant and 6 different color options: Galactic Green, Halley’s Teal, Lumos Lime, Starlight Blue, Comet Red and Nebula Blue. The bike will cost you between Rs 1.65 and Rs 1.84 Lakhs.

Mileage: 34 kmpl

AHRMA Announces 2023 Road Race Schedule

Go back in time to Hill Country Motorheads during the 10th Annual Texas M/C Revival, which features the museum’s collection of vintage motorcycles along with dozens of entries from other bike enthusiasts. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 5 at 2001 Texas 29 West in Burnet.

Enjoy the camaraderie, food, and iconic motorcycles of the past. Admission is $5 at the door.

“(The Texas M/C Revival) is truly a place for biker fraternity and an opportunity to come and show off their vintage motorcycles and have camaraderie,” said Janelle Hanlon, who owns and operates the museum with her husband, Pat.

He has been in love with motorcycles since the age of 10. This passion developed into a collection of over 350 bicycles and the museum.

This is the second year that Hill Country Motorheads has hosted the Texas M/C Revival. Show founder Steve Littlefield hosted the rally for years at his Georgetown store, Central Texas Powersports. After selling the business, the Hanlons took over, bringing revival to Burnet in 2021.

This 1902 Indian Camelback is said to be the oldest Indian motorcycle in the world, according to owner Steven Cline. This is just one of extremely rare and fair motorcycles that will be on display at the 10th Annual Texas M/C Revival Vintage Motorcycle Show at Hill Country Motorheads on Saturday November 5th.

The shining stars of this year’s show will be three extremely rare vintage motorcycles from the collection of Steve Cline, titan of the American vintage motorcycle scene. They are a 1922 Henderson DeLuxe, a 1914 Yale and a 1902 Indian Camelback, which Cline claims is the oldest Indian motorcycle in the world.

Event attendees can vote for their favorite bike for the People’s Choice Award. The Ronnie Lunsford Memorial Exhibitor Award will be given to the best bike voted by the exhibitors. It honors the memory of a beloved member of the Texas motorcycle community who died in an accident earlier this year.

“I would like people to realize that this is not just a motorcycle show; it’s a way of life for us,” Janelle Hanlon told 101HighlandLakes.com. “It’s something that brings people together.”

Whether you’re a biker yourself, have motorcycle fever, or just curious about the history of motorcycles, you’re sure to have a great time at Texas M/C Revival.

He was a master mechanic, but his real passion was people.

Whether he was singing songs to his daughter, playing football with teammates or playing pranks on visitors to his museum, George Harmer reveled in the interaction.

Now tributes have been paid to Mr Harmer, from North Norfolk, who died on September 6, aged 86.

Friends and family gathered at his funeral on October 7 were told he would be remembered as a hardworking man with ‘slight eccentricities’ who did not conform to the norm and ‘never really finished anything”.

Celebrant Rachel Narkiewicz said: “They will remember the tricks you played, your humor, your passion for classic cars and motorbikes, your knowledge of gardening and your love for the occasional bottle of Manns dark beer. .

“He was certainly one of a kind and will be missed.”

Mr Harmer grew up in Saxthorpe and went to school there before moving on to Astley Secondary and Melton Constable Academy.

He was known for his singing voice and even sang with his school choir at the Royal Albert Hall.

At 15, Mr. Harmer became an apprentice clock repairer at Mundesely. Some time later he took a job with Winsor Bishop jewelers in Norwich, traveling there first by bicycle and later on a BSA Bantam, which began his love of motorbikes.

Mr. Harmer was called up to the Royal Air Force in 1954 and hired for four years so that he could learn the trade of an instrument fitter.

He worked on Lancaster and Lincoln bombers at RAF Hemswell in Lincolnshire and also served in Cyprus, Libya, Malta and Norway.

“He really enjoyed squadron life and made some strong friendships over those years and repeatedly said how beautiful Norway was and how kind its people were,” Ms Narkiewicz said.

Mr Harmer was a keen footballer and played for Gainsborough United while in the RAF.

He returned to watchmaking in Holt at the age of 22 and met his future wife, Valerie.

“One lunchtime George invited Val out for a drive up Holt Hill. Less than a year later, in March 1959, they were married at Baconsthorpe Church, Val wearing a traditional white dress and a veil and George looking stylish in his demo costume,” Ms. Narkiewicz said.

“There was neither the time nor the money for a honeymoon, so the couple started life together with little.

“Soon after they married, George’s job took him to Wells, then to Holt before going to North Walsham.”

George and Valerie Harmer both had a passion for beautiful gardens.

They built a bungalow in Felmingham in 1964 and Mr Harmer went into business from a workshop in the garden which allowed him to spend more time with their children Debra and Steven.

“Deb remembers being about three years old and sitting on her dad’s lap as he sang the song ‘Scarlet Ribbons’ to her,” Ms Narkiewicz said.

“Having George sing the lyrics had a profound effect on his young daughter – Val clearly remembers seeing Deb cry as she listened.”

Later Mr Harmer opened a shop in Aylsham’s Red Lion Street and worked hard there – their first family holiday was when Steven was around nine years old.

At one point he was repairing around 100 watches a week and a TV show once described him as the “last master watchmaker”.

He was vice-chairman of the Aylsham Silver Band and chairman of the Aylsham Wanderers Football Club.

After abandoning the shop in 1986, Mr Harmer and his wife found more time to travel – the Lake District became a favorite destination.

“Walking around Rydal Water was his favourite. George loved nature and the Lake District gave him the opportunity to see the majestic views the area has to offer,” Ms Narkiewicz said.

Mr. and Mrs. Harmer were avid gardeners of vegetables and flowers, and Mr. Harmer was particularly proud of his rhododendrons.

He founded the Norfolk Motorcycle Museum near Norwich Road in North Walsham in 1994, and Steven still runs it today.

“Together they would work on it and welcome visitors, with George always keen to talk about the bikes and their place in history,” Ms Narkiewicz said.

“If a man showed up to visit, it wouldn’t be unusual for George to see the man’s wife sitting outside, waiting patiently in the car, and walking over to talk to her as well.

“Before long, she would often be inside the museum herself, listening with interest as George shared his knowledge. He liked to chat with everyone.

Mr. Harmer had a great sense of playfulness and always tried to find the fun side of life.

He was famous for his pranks. If Steve tried to reassemble a part of a bike, he would sometimes get confused by a strange part here or there – until he realized that George had added a few extra parts.

When the powers that be in Hollywood finally decide to restart the terminator franchise (again), the all-electric Bandit9 Nano is the moped on which pre-teen John Connor will attempt to escape the liquid metal T1000.

The Vietnamese brand Bandit9 pushes art deco, Metropolis-y aesthetic with its polished 904L steel fairing and doubling down on its desire to lead the marketing fight against the iconic steel-bodied Vespa brand (which other than Royal Alloy/LML is the only scooter brand I know to build bicycle steel bodies).

“Vespa has gone unchallenged for decades,” reads the company’s website. “There’s just no other choice; they are beautiful, classic and affordable. We love them, fear them and admire them. And now we will fight them.

More than just a pretty face

Underneath the steel Nano electric moped seat you will find a removable 4.2kWh Gogoro-style lithium-ion battery that can be swapped out in seconds Where recharged away from the bike (think: in a dorm or office) in about four hours.

And, while it is certainly worth noting that this is not a Gogoro battery and that the Vietnamese company takes up the challenge of developing a battery apparently on its own (a strategy taken up by its Vietnamese colleague, VinFast), it is too It’s worth noting that the Nano’s battery sends power to a powerful 4000W electric motor built into the rear hub (that’s around 5.3hp, which puts it in the meaty part of the moped range ICE of 50 cc).

This combination is good for a top speed of 45 km/h (27 mph) and a range of 60 miles (96 km) at $4,499, while the more expensive Nano+ (at $4,999) is capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 km/h (43 mph). ) with a similar scope.

I’ve owned a lot of vintage motorcycles, and there seems to be a trend: many of them were parallel twins, or P-Twins, including a Norton Commando 750, BSA A50, Honda CB450SS, Yamaha XS650 and a Yamaha Seca 400. There’s just something about this engine that has both soul and sound, aesthetics and performance. In 2020, with no vintage machines in the garage, I acquired a new INT650, also known as the Interceptor 650 outside the US, a thoroughly modern yet very retro P-Twin of India’s revitalized Royal Enfield and modernized.

And after a Covid hiatus, the North West’s most entertaining vintage motorcycle rally, VME’s Isle of Vashon TT, was back for 2022. How would the retro-modern Royal Enfield INT650 P-Twin perform during such an event? Would I be kicked out of the sprawling island, located in Puget Sound outside of Tacoma, Washington, for trying to be a retro impostor? Or would the hundreds of vintage riding enthusiasts allow me to park and camp my fuel-injected, ABS-equipped (but still air-cooled) vintage-style slice of modernity in the D-grade range? exhaust from their beloved time machines? Only one way to find out.

I packed the INT650 with camping essentials since our group was going to be setting up pitches at AYH Ranch, a former American hostel that has since been converted into a vintage Western-style respite for travelers, offering rooms, cabins, teepees and acres of flat, manicured grassland for tent camping.

When camping on a motorcycle you need to pack light, especially on a small displacement machine like the INT650. Fortunately, I have the material for that. Now we just needed the weather to cooperate, and showers were forecast. Undeterred, our little squadron of runners left the Portland area and traversed winding back roads and high-speed interstate highways to Tacoma, where we hopped on a ferry for the short trip over the water to Vashon Island, where the pace of life is a bit slower than in neighboring Tacoma and Seattle. Bonus detail: Motorcycles are the first to get on and off the spacious Washington Ferries.

Once at AYH Ranch, we set up our campsites along the tree line and headed out to the small town of Vashon to Sporty’s Tavern for satisfying fried seafood, burgers and pucks. ‘onion. Then it was back to camp for foam and a chat. Unfortunately the dry summer and nearby forest fires meant no campfires were allowed. So we chatted under the outside lights in the evening about life, bikes and adventures while browsing through a selection of vintage motorcycle magazines from the 1970s.

My goodness, how times have changed, but it was fun to see ads for all those “new” P-Twins from five decades ago that now stood on Vashon Island as vintage icons .

Saturday is rally day, and stripped of panniers and camping gear, the INT650 looks light and lean. Twin vertically swept lightweight S&S brushed-aluminum exhaust pipes allow the engine to express itself fully under the throttle, while growling with grace and composure over the sometimes rough Vashon pavement. The first event of the day is a poker race, starting in the town of Vashon. The route goes around the island and at each stop, runners are given a “map”. At the end of the race, the best hands win prizes. Safe to say I shouldn’t start playing poker anytime soon.

Delicious burgers and fixins are also on the menu at the last stop, along with a show and shine competition and fun motorbike games including Push the Barrel and a circle race in which the circle continually becomes… smaller. Get passed and you’re out of the race! The games were held on dirt and grass, so while a few bikes fell sideways, most of the damage was done to the riders’ egos.

The rally bikes ran the gamut, from old, almost steampunk-worthy Britbikes to immaculately restored 1970s Japanese machines and sidecars with riders in period gear. Riders on modern machines are also welcome at the Vashon TT.

MORE FORBESRide review: Royal Enfield’s Mellow Meteor 350 brings zen back to motorbike ridingBy Bill Robson

How did the INT650 measure up? Royal Enfield’s market share in the US has seen a surge of late as the company strives to expand dealerships and its US customer base with new offerings like the 350 Meteor (review above) and the Himalayan adventure bike, but it’s still a fairly new brand on the American motorcycle scene, and the INT650 still makes people stop, take a closer look, and ask questions about what it is, where it’s made and how it rides. And overall, even vintage riders gave it a pass, with some admitting they were considering one for themselves, thanks to the affordable $6,199 price tag and deft blend of vintage styling and tech. modern.

Safely back at camp, we passed around bottles and new stories as the air became heavy with humidity, and sure enough, drops started pattering on my tent flysheet as I dozed off for the night. In the morning, the sky was just cloudy as we packed up to go home. The return trip passed through tiny towns and farmlands, crossed high steel bridges and along mighty Northwest rivers until the Portland skyline appeared in the distance. All too soon, the INT650 was back in the garage with its wheeled siblings, waiting for another chance to once again prove that modern technology and vintage appeal can indeed co-exist in a motorcycle that gets both values. righteous.

See you next year, Vashon.

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know, Staff Favorites series. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best Colorado has to offer when it comes to dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also show you some hidden gems.)

My new favorite bike tour is the Mestaa’Ėhehe Pass ride, about 30 miles west of Denver in Clear Creek County, but the only thing new about it is its official name.

For decades, this much-loved Colorado classic, from Bergen Park to Echo Lake, was known as Squaw Pass. But in September, the US Department of the Interior officially renamed the pass and nearby mountain because the word “squaw” is considered a slur against Native American women. The newly dubbed Mestaa’Ėhehe Pass (pronounced mess-taw-HAY) and Mestaa’Ėhehe Mountain honor a Cheyenne woman who served as a translator between the plains tribes and white traders of southern Colorado in the early 19th century.

They were part of a group of 28 sites in Colorado (and 650 nationally) that were renamed; all Colorado names included the same Native American slur.

It’s a gorgeous ride, 36 miles round trip from Bergen Park to Echo Lake and back. It climbs 3,300 feet to the highest point, 15 miles, then descends about 450 feet for 3 miles to Echo Lake.

Yes, the outward part is tough because of all that climbing – that’s why we love it, after all – but there’s very little pedaling the last 15km to the starting point because gravity does the work. I actually use my brakes a lot of the way down because anything over 30 mph on a bike scares me.

The road parallels I-70, which is 4-5 miles north and hundreds of feet below. Along the way, it passes Echo Mountain Ski Area and offers panoramic views north of the Continental Divide and the Indian Peaks. At about 15 miles, near the highest point of 11,150 feet, the fourteen twins, Grays and Torreys, appear. Right after that, Mount Evans (which may also be renamed soon) appears to the south. It was especially beautiful up there last Monday because the aspens were still in their fall colors.

I usually park at the Bergen Park RTD parking lot on Colorado 74 at an elevation of 7,800 feet. From there I drive south about half a mile and turn right onto the road that the signs still refer to by its old name. Just to the south is JeffCo Open Space’s Elk Meadow Park.

This is a very popular route for Front Range cyclists, so a message board at the start warns motorists that under Colorado law they must maintain a minimum of 3 feet between themselves and cyclists when passing. A metal sign nearby reiterates this message.

The entire drive from there to Echo Lake is on a winding two-lane asphalt road that climbs almost relentlessly. Most of the westbound ascent has a bike path – or, at the very least, a shoulder – so slow riders will feel pretty safe. The descent to Bergen Park, however, has no shoulder. It’s quite common for downhill cyclists to travel as fast as downhill vehicular traffic, and a sign informs drivers that cyclists are allowed to use the full lane.

If 36 miles is too much, riding to Echo Mountain ski area and back is about 26 miles, and that still gives you about 3,000 feet of ascent.

I’ve already outlined a few of my other favorite attractions in Staff Favorites – Lookout Mountain and Guanella Pass. I also like Vail Pass, Hoosier Pass and Lefthand Canyon.

But with its new name, the Mestaa’Ėhehe Pass ride will always be at the top of my list.

Mahindra & Mahindra is unquestionably the number one SUV brand in India, but when it comes to two-wheelers, the OEM seems to have struggled to crack the Indian market code as the sales of Classic Legends motorcycles/bicycles to end consumers have decreased month-on-month (MoM) since March 2022.

Jawa & Yezdi’s retail sales were 4,265 units in March 2022, while they recorded sales of 2,860 two-wheelers in September 2022, representing a drop of more than 32% from March to September. On a month-to-month basis, Classic Legends sign-ups were down over 11% in September 2022.

Royal Enfield (RE) is one of the reasons for Classic Legends’ declining performance in the end-consumer market, noted Subhabrata Sengupta, executive director of Avalon Consulting. RE launched its most affordable Hunter 350cc bike in August 2022; it sold 56,085 bikes in September compared to 50,108 units in August 2022.

Peer reviews as a differentiator

Sengupta believes that RE’s strong performance in the Indian market and Classic Legends’ current performance is largely a result of what existing customers of both brands are talking about the bikes. ‘RE sells well because its products are recommended by RE bike owners among their peers. That may not be the case with the Jawa and Yezdi bikes,” he said.

RE led by Siddhartha Lal is also known for its marketing and public relations prowess in the two-wheeler industry in India. He organizes frequent Leh-Ladakh treks, and more with RE clubs and simultaneously engages in various community building exercises with groups of riders from India and outside.

“The way RE executes the plans is excellent. Classic Legends has faced consumer issues since relaunching the brand in India. Both the Jawa and Yezdi bikes had a very strong fan following when they arrived for launch, but Classic Legends failed to scale when needed. There were long waiting times, which hurt brands,” Sengupta said.

A total of 14,523 Jawa and Yezdi bikes were registered in CY2019, followed by 26,512 in 2020 and 26,832 in 2021. Classic Legends, in 2022 so far, has registered 30,729 units, surpassing its past performance of CY. However, at the same time, its MoM performance in 2022, compared to 2021, has declined.

Price warfare at its finest

The retro-styled look with a refined engine became Jawa’s strongest feature when the brand was initially relaunched in India. These prices ensured that the Jawa motorcycles were positioned within the range of the RE Standard 350 and RE Classic 350.

However, the recently launched retro-styled RE Hunter has spiced up the price war as the base variant of it is available at INR 149,000 ex-showroom. Additionally, TVS Motors launching its retro-styled Ronin at a starting price of 149,000 also seems to have affected the sales of Jawa and Yezdi Motorcycles.

“Also, consumer feedback on the Classic Legends motorcycles hasn’t been good,” Sengupta said.

The OEM had initially lost many reservations due to the problems of not being able to meet market demands. Sengupta thinks Jawa was able to create a lot of hype but couldn’t deliver nearly the same.

“However, the Jawa products and brand have a connection with the public. They probably need to educate the public, especially millennials, about the same. Jawa will have to execute their plans very well,” he added.

Jagruti Penkar and Sarvesh Balappa claim their first crowns at the 2022 Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship

In a day of drama and suspense, veteran Rajini Krishnan, Mathana Kumar, Jagruti Penkar and Sarvesh Balappa clinched the titles in their respective classes in the fifth and final round of the MRF MMSC fmsci Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2022 concluded at the Madras International Circuit here on Sunday.

Rajini (RACR Castrol Power1), needing just one more point for the title, moved up to fourth place to seal the championship, his 11 ^e National career crown, in the premier Pro-Stock 301-400cc Open class, while Mathana Kumar (Pacer Yamaha) of Trichy dominated the Pro-Stock 165cc Open class, also finishing fourth for her third title in 11 years.

Earlier, Jagruti (Axor Sparks Racing), the 21-year-old science graduate from Mumbai, kept guessing before confirmation came that she was indeed the winner of the Girls (Stock 165cc) championship, her first title, following to the disqualification of the winner of the race, Lani Zena Fernandez (RACR Castrol Power1). Jagruti finished with 81 points against 80 for Ann Jennifer (Alpha Racing).

Sarvesh Balappa (Axor Sparks Racing), who had taken an unassailable lead heading into the final round, kept it clean and avoided close battles for fourth place. His teammates Kayan Zubin Patel and Rohan Ramesh came first and second ahead of Chiranth Vishwanath (Rookies Racing).

Meanwhile, Rajini did the same in the last Open Pro-Stock 301-400cc race just following the Petronas TVS Racing trio of KY Ahamed, Jagan Kumar and Deepak Ravikumar. Along the way, Ahamed scored twice.

Jagan also had a brilliant outing in the Open Pro-Stock 165cc race which he won in style ahead of Rajiv Sethu and Senthil Kumar of Idemitsu Honda India SK69 Racing, for a big one-two finish.

Two youngsters, Chiranth Vishwanath (Bengaluru), competing in the Rookie category of the Petronas TVS One-Make Championship, and Raheesh Mudassar Khatri (Mumbai) in the Novice category (CBR 150) of the Idemitsu Honda India Talent Cup, created the buzz by winning all 10 races this season.

Rashid loses play-offs and finishes 2nd as Ahlawat and Kapur finish in top 10

Indian golfer Rashid Khan gave it his all but failed on the second hole of the play-offs to finish second in the Mercuries Taiwan Masters as local favorite Chan Shih-chang took the title here on Sunday.

Chan, who was three behind with five holes to go, birdied superbly on the 18th and then continued his momentum on that hole with birdies in the first and second play-offs.

Rashid, who shared the 54-hole lead with Chan, seemed fine with five birdies in the first 13 holes to his playing partner’s two birdies in the first 13 holes. That gave Rashid a three-stroke lead with five holes to play.

As both parried the 14th, it was a three-stroke lead with four to go.

Chan birdied on the Par-5 15th while Rashid dropped a shot on the 17th. Then Chan birdied a stretched nine-footer on the 18th for a birdie as Rashid missed a six-footer that would have won him the title.

In the first play-off hole, Chan faced a 21-footer to extend the play-off and he did so as Rashid drilled a two-foot tap-in after a stunning second shot. In the second shoot-off, Rashid had a 20-footer for a birdie, which he missed while Chan drilled his nine-footer for the title.

Despite Rashid’s disappointment being unable to end his nine-year title drought, the Indians had a good day at the event.

Veer Ahlawat despite three bogeys on the final day scored 72 and was T-8, at 6 under. Shiv Kapur had a rollercoaster round with four birdies on the front nine and three bogeys on the back nine for a 71 and was T-10 at 5 under for the week.

SSP Chawrasia (70) and Aman Raj (73) also had a tougher time on the tougher back nine and were T-15 with 3-under totals.

Ajeetesh Sandhu encountered a double bogey at the back in his 74 and was T-21, while four players Honey Baisoya (73), Viraj Madappa (71), Khalin Joshi (73) and S Chikkarangappa (73) were all T -29 . Rahil Gangjee (73) was T-39 and M Dharma (74) was T-49 and Udayan Mane (75) was T-55.

Two-time Asian Tour winner Rashid was on the hunt for his first Asian Tour title in eight years, with his previous two successes coming in 2014, the SAIL-SBI Open in India, and the Chiangmai Golf Classic. , in Thailand.

He had a one shot lead on the turn and after a birdie at 10 and 13 he looked like a safe bet for the title as he had three leads.

Bangladesh’s Siddikur Rahman and Thailand’s Sarit Suwannarut are tied for third, six shots behind after both shot 71.

The Asian Tour will then head to the International Series Morocco from Royal Golf Dar Es Salam from November 3-6.
