It's that time of year... the weather is getting colder and wetter on the daily, leading to some adverse conditions out on the trails. Although we don't condone riding in conditions that will destroy the trails that people have put tons of time and effort into building, sometimes you end up in situations where you don't have much of a choice but to ride.

We get a lot of questions about e-bikes, especially the Orbea Rise, so we figured we’d throw up a quick long-term review of one from one of the employees here at Jenson, Alex. Alex lives up in the mountains here in Southern California and has to do a fair bit of climbing and pedaling around at his local trail system to get to trails. Because he is in such high elevation, oxygen levels are different and make it a bit more difficult to breathe. This alone made it hard for him to enjoy long rides, especially when temperatures drop and snow season arrives.
The Norco Optic and Sight are a couple of the most popular trail and all-mountain bikes available, respectively. New for 2024, Norco has completely updated their suspension platform, moving from a traditional 4-bar design to a high-pivot 4-bar design to increase versatility. No matter how much travel you choose, a high pivot bike will be able to punch above its weight class.
