April is back again with another review of some of the best women's gloves on the market! April was kind enough to spend a lot of time going in depth about the differences between some of these gloves and what she appreciated the most about each set. Join April as she goes over her thoughts on a handful of some of the most popular women's mountain bike gloves available.
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.
Brand new for 2024, Orbea has released a new, trail-focused version of the Occam; the Occam SL. With 140 millimeters of travel front and rear, the choice between a lightweight carbon frame or slightly heavier alloy frame, asymmetric frame design to maintain lower weight, internal frame storage, optional frame protection, front and rear suspension lockout, headset cable routing, an integrated chain guide and many other unique features, this is one of the best bikes we've ridden this year and is one of the best all-around trail bikes on the market right now.
The Orbea Occam has dialed geometry that lands squarely in "trail bike" territory. Excelling in a variety of terrain, Orbea's short-travel 29er is the perfect bike for true mountain biking. Enjoy every aspect of the trail with Orbea's newest offering.
