Now, Kona has combined that proven King Kahuna geometry with Kona's proprietary carbon fiber weave that's designed to be both tough and quick, making a great trail/race package.

MSRP is $3399, our price is $3299.

2012 PIVOT MACH 429

The original Mach 429 received the MTBR.com award for best 29er and Mountain Bike Action readers picked it as the #1 choice for their next 29er. The combination of Pivot design and dw-link® suspension makes for a bike that accelerates, descends, climbs, and corners unlike any other 29er made.

Now it just got better! The 2012 Pivot Mach 429 is both lighter and stiffer as a result of its revised rear triangle design, 1.5” tapered head tube, and a 142 X 12mm rear through axle design with post mount disc brake tabs. Plus, the frame lost over ½ pound in the process.

2012 SURLY MOONLANDER FRAME & FORKSET

For 2012, Surly introduces the Moonlander.  It takes their FFF (Fatties Fit Fine) philosophy very, very seriously.

Moonlander is designed to work with Surly's new Clown Shoe rims (100mm singlewall!), Big Fat Larry tires (4.5” Larry tread!), and Mr. Whirly Offset Double crank. The very wide rims and very large tires, as you might expect, make for amazing traction, floatation, and minimal ground impact. The frame’s 28mm offset and the Whirly Offset Double crank allow room for such big rubber without chain rub.

The fork (symmetrical blades, no offset) operates using a 135mm hub but unlike the Pug fork will use a front disc caliper adapter. The rear dropouts are the same as the Pug.

SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX SL3 PRO Ui2

An aggressive all-mountain trail bike with relatively long travel for a 29er, while still keeping a short wheelbase and compact chainstays for quick acceleration, great trail handling, lots of standover, and awesome rider fit.

Features a stiff 142x12 rear axle, tapered headtube, ISCG 05 tabs, direct-mount front derailleur and cartridge-sealed bearings. This 19" bike pictured weighs in at 30lbs.

Take the Satori step towards nirvana. Nirvana is pretty sweet.

The 2012 Pivot Mach 5.7 combines superior engineering with dw-link® suspension to design the ultimate trail bike.

The Mach 5.7 won Bicycling Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award for Best 26” Trail Bike. It is the ultimate do-all bike for riding just about any trail, anywhere.

Now updated with a 142x12mm through axle system and 160mm post mount dropouts to provide an increased level of stiffness and control. New Fox RP23 Kashima shock with custom tuned rebound and Propedal settings for increased rider tunability and incredible small bump sensitivity.

SALSA EL MARIACHI TI 

The 2012 Salsa El Mariachi Ti is a get-it-done-well-everyday mountain bike. It is proof that a mountain bike can kick ass repeatedly.

Salsa first introduced the steel El Mariachi in 2007, and riders have given it rave reviews ever since. The El Mariachi Ti joined the dance party in 2011 and has gained similar accolades.

In July 2011, Salsa sponsored rider Kurt Refsnider rode his El Mariachi Ti to victory in the Tour Divide race from Banff, Alberta, Canada to Antelope Wells, New Mexico.

Titanium tubing provides the El Mariachi Ti with the finest ride quality: a delectable mix of low weight, stiffness, and vibration damping. MSRP is $3999.


 

SURLY ROLLING DARRYL RIMS 

The Surly Rolling Darryl is a whopping 82mm wide welded seam single wall rim.  When used with a superfat tire run at low pressure, Rolling Darryl produces a big footprint that provides amazing traction and floatation.  This means you can go places you couldn't before, such as many kinds of mud, sand and snow.

We got a set of limited edition green! They run $180 per rim.

Note that a rim this wide requires a frame and fork designed for rims (and tires) of this size, such as the  Surly Pugsley.  Big fat rims and tires simply will not fit in 'normal' frames.

 

 

 


 

INTENSE CARBINE CARBON FRAME 

Intense Cycles introduces its new carbon fiber mountain bike, the Carbine. This frame weighs in at 5lbs, 10oz.

The Carbine is a do-it-all trail bike with a dual personality: combining the original DNA of the famous Tracer VP and re-designing and improving it with carbon fiber construction.

2012 KONA BIKES

Introducing the all-new downhill/bike park/big-mountain-specific, down-addicted destroyer: the 2012 Kona Entourage. In essence, it's a smaller-travel (170mm) Operator redesigned into a tighter package, with radically shorter stays for quick turns, spins and all-around freeriding (new word we made up), with a low BB and slack HA for stability.

Built with performance durability and worlds of fun and speed in mind, hit everything you would on the big bike, but fall in love with the Entourage's nimbleness and maneuverability. Just ask Kona Team Gravity Rider Graham Aggasiz.

 


    New model for 2012: the Kona Honzo, a balls-out, aggressive all-mountain 29er Cromoly hardtail. Featuring a beyond-vogue slack 68-degree headtube angle, low bottom bracket and short chainstays, the Honzo is all about getting radical on technical singletrack near you.

Featuring a zero-stack internal headset with tapered steertube, Kona continues to lead the way when it comes to the evolution of steel. A single front chainring with chain guide, 9-speed 36-tooth cassette, 31.6 seatpost with dropper post cable routing, and ISCG 05 tabs, the Honzo goes up, down, and all the way around.

ALTRA ZERO DROP RUNNING SHOES    

Yes, we also love to RUN here at The Path Bike Shop! And we love these shoes for a more natural way to run out on the trails. A number of our staff swear by them firsthand.
The concept of Altra Zero Drop™ footwear is for those who seek a natural running experience without eliminating their shoes. With the growth of barefoot and minimalist runners seeking an option to increase natural biomechanics of their foot strike while running this term was born. The concept takes away the rise in heel height to establish zero deviation from forefoot to heel throughout the shoe’s midsole and outsole.
Benefits of a Foot-Shaped Design:
  • Helps alleviate forefoot pain, bunions, neuromas, & other pathologies
  • Toes spread naturally and relax in the shoe
  • Foot maintains its proper anatomical position
  • Allows for maximum shock absorption & powerful toe off
We've got the Altra Instinct for the men and the Altra Intuition for the ladies. Priced at $95.

3 MINUTE GAPS DVD

The new film by Clay Porter has arrived, in DVD and Blu-ray.  

For two years the crew of 3 MINUTE GAPS have followed the world's best mountain bike racers around the globe documenting them as they trained, prepared, rode, ate, traveled, raced, celebrated, commiserated, and made sacrifices simply because of the weight of ambition to be the fastest. There is no truer, more accurate and intimate depiction of the hallowed worlds of the very best World Cup riders than 3 MINUTE GAPS.

Filmed in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA, and every round of the 2009 and 2010 World Cup Series and World Championships.

From multiple World Champions to future World Champions - including Gee Atherton, Sam Hill, Aaron Gwin, Sam Blenkinsop, Brendan Fairclough, Greg Minnaar, Andrew Neethling, Danny Hart, Matti Lehikoinen, Ben Reid, and Josh Bryceland - this film chronicles the new breed of racers who are re-shaping modern downhill racing, and indeed, riding.


 

2012 SHIMANO XTR SHADOW PLUS REAR DERAILLEUR    

Unveiled at this year's Sea Otter Classic, the brand new 2012 Shimano XTR Shadow Plus rear derailleur is made with our ultra-light long-travel trail bikes and rougher trail riding in mind.

The Shadow Plus allows the sprung lower pulley cage to be locked out, which dramatically reduces chain movement. The idea is that you switch this on to stop your chain bouncing when riding over rough terrain, which prevents it from derailing or damaging your drive-side chainstay. Turn it off at the end of your ride to reduce the spring tension and make it easier to remove your rear wheel.

The 2012 XTR Shadow Plus rear derailleur will be a big improvement for riders who have problems with chain slap, chain suck, and chain drop.

2012 SHIMANO XT BRAKES   

2012 marks the 30th anniversary of Shimano's XT mountain bike group. Shimano XT has symbolized quality and performance, but comes in at a significantly lower price than its XTR sibling.

  • New design: a linear lever design (similar to the design of the XTR lever) that makes it perfect for single finger braking
  • A brake that's lighter in weight, yet claims a 25% power increase over the previous model
  • Free Stroke and bite point adjustment
  • One-Way Bleeding system which aims to prevent air pockets from being trapped by forcing the fluid all the way through the two piece calliper

We currently have the trail version in stock. Race version is on the way.
