Gear Freeride Bikes

Ellsworth Joker—The extruded front triangle and single-pivot design and tough; 6 inches of travel sucks up big hits without making the bike too tall for slow-speed handling.  The OnePointFive head tube accepts the awesome Manitou Sherman 6-inch travel single-crown fork.  Mavic’s strong Dee-Max wheels are tubeless-compatible (no more pinch flats).
