XC RACE
It’s TIME TO ADD ANOTHER X to XC Today’s XC courses are way more intense, with serious tech sections and hairball features you’re more likely to find in DH. These are the kind of courses that don’t require a bike. They require a weapon. A weapon that’s ultra-light and as stiff as you’d expect – but designed with a lot more capability. For that extra X. This is exactly why we didn’t build the F-Si and Scalpel-Si just for XC. We built them for XXC.

SCALPEL-Si BUILT FOR XXC
The ultimate race bike for the rough and tumble realities of modern XC. It’s the lightest, stiffest XC dually on the planet, with radical new XC geometry to own the climbs, rule the descents and decimate the competition.

TRAIL
EXTRAORDINARY PURPOSE Mark Weir is good at life. He made a habit of climbing more than a million vertical feet in a year, and is always ready to work harder, and play harder, than anyone you’ve ever met. He’s ready to give you the shirt off his back, the last bit of food in his fridge and the best chicken in his coop. But Weir is most in his element, and at his best, when he’s able to share trails with other mountain bikers — friends and strangers alike. So, when a mix of mountain bikers were invited to join Weir for a long weekend of riding at his newly christened compound in Graeagle, California, they were a blessed bunch, whether they knew it or not. They understood that it wasn’t going to be easy. This is Weir country, after all. They might’ve eaten sandwiches in the dirt but it wasn’t a picnic. Wakeup calls at 4:00 A.M. to catch a glimpse of the rising sun were mandatory. So were half-mile hikes in the snow to “get to the goods.”
MOUNTAIN | TRAIL | 17
Challenge accepted.
Loss prevention tactics were a must.
But winning at life requires extraordinary purpose. And the ability to share it with others. Weir has a refreshing outlook on sharing these epic places with others. “Never to exclude, just to carry the respect for the place. That’s what makes me who I am everyday,” Weir says. “These places are not here for us to keep close. They are here to share. Relationships are built on chance. I’m happy to know chance brought us together to share a place we all need to respect.”
Randy sends it into the late night hours.
Looking bloody good.
Not lost. Far from it.
Early to bed... You know the rest. MOUNTAIN | TRAIL | 19
Mills Peak descent was the perfect way to end the weekend.
Count Cutty and his Co-Captain courageously carving corners and crashing.
After the end of our three day adventure in Weir’s backyard we all know what he meant. One could certainly keep this all close. But where’s the fun in that?
Mark Weir caught this fella in a minute flat. Fish whisperer status. MOUNTAIN | TRAIL | 21
HABIT
GET INTO THE HABIT We could have just called this bike the “sweet spot”. Composed and capable enough to run with bigger-travel bikes, yet light and lively enough to put the hurt on the shaved-leg set, the Habit is mainly concerned with delivering the most important kind of MTB performance — pure, simple, trail-ripping fun! If you’re looking for one bike to do it all, make it a Habit.

TRAIL
Pile of Rocks You could call Elizabeth Furnace, Virginia, “rocky” but that’s just skimming the rubbly surface. The “small” rocks are angry softballs beneath our tires and they only get bigger from there – imagine a lumpy beachball…or VW bug. And roots? Oh yeah. These Civil War-era trails are just crawling with them. In short, perfect terrain for our group of hooky-playing Cannondale engineers to enjoy some of the Plus-sized fruits of their labor. New Bad Habits and Beasts of the Easts are the order of the day, their 27.5x3.0 tires tailor-made for this sort of fun. The climbs are a revelation – we grind up loose, chossy sections that would make for tough walking, and we can just throttle it. The limiting factor suddenly isn’t traction, it’s just the strength of our legs and our will. It’s unreal. But, as if climbing these savage pitches isn’t reward enough, then come the descents. Ohhhh, the descents… If the climbs were revelatory, the descents…the descents are transcendent. The descents are sublime. The descents defy this writer’s vocabulary. They’re Christmas and Chanukah and Kwanza and Wing-Night Happy Hour rolled into one, and then some. We’re floating over the rubble and railing loose corners like never before, chasing each other and struggling to re-calibrate our brains’ hard won sense of where the limits are. There is much in the way of cackling and laughter.
MOUNTAIN | TRAIL | 27
The miles fly by, lost in a blur of grip and speed and defied expectations until we’re back at camp; tired, sweaty and thoroughly exhilarated. Nothing to do but relax by the fire, enjoy some dutch-oven chili, frosty beverages and scheme on tomorrow’s ride. More rocks? More roots? Hell yeah!

FAT BIKE
Forces to Reckon With In the mountains, there’s a palpable buzz as the air turns crisper and the sun sets sooner. To the uninitiated, winter’s approach is dreaded as a time when the outdoor options narrow, when sliding replaces rolling and the soulful fun of singletrack is consigned to the memory banks to wait for spring. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nowadays this fourmonth window (fingers crossed) is a fattened feast of opportunity for those wanting to squeeze every ounce of enjoyment from dawn until dusk. Ride. Glide. Or both. Choose your days wisely. Choose your hours wisely. Excuses need not apply.
