The DMR Death Grip is the second collaboration between DMR bikes and Brendog. We started with an internally tapered single-lock core grip and wrapped Brendan's design around it in super-soft Kraton compound. |
We wanted to offer the benefits of our new Horizon platform in a more affordable pedal. Made from a nylon reinforced composite material, the Horizon Comp offers the same 'Sam Hill' inspired platform, in a lightweight and durable package with 6 replaceable pins (per side) and Cro Mo axle |
Absoluteblack's revolutionary Oval Guide chain guide is here. This is the only chain guide on the market that is designed specifically for Oval chainrings, keeping your chain secure at every single crank position. Oval Guide has unique adjustable chainline from 48-53mm making it compatible with every single bike setup. Weighs virtually nothing. |
The Prophet combines the comfort of a lace-up design with the control of a gripping sole that sticks to your pedals. Thanks to our HookUp rubber your feet stay firmly in place during your pedal stroke but can easily release when tough trail conditions warrant caution. Never be locked in an endo or tip-over again! You'll gain confidence and improve your form with every ride. |
As one of the three touch points on a bike, grips are like shoes and saddles in that everyone has a different idea of what perfection is. We saw an opportunity and a need for a softer and fatter grip... the "perfect" grip for some riders! Our Fat Paw grips are the fattest silicon grip on the market and are a great option for riders with big hands or those that just prefer a larger grip for warmth or comfort. |
Built off of the success of the original Kestrel, the Kestrel Lace is designed to transfer power to the pedals as efficiently as possible with a classic lace closure. The Kestrel Lace features a Stealth C4 outsole and wider cleat interface that is compatible with every type of clipless pedal. The shank of the Kestrel Lace is nylon, making it about 15% less stiff than the original Kestrel, while an EVA midsole provides excellent shock absorption. |
These tires were developed with our top EWS riders as well as domestic teams and individual test riders. For wetter/looser European conditions these tires really shine. With the big spacing, but ramped center tread this tire works well on the ups and downs! It is the go-to tire for our UK sponsored Enduro racers! |
Putting safety at the forefront, the TSG Riot Socks offer protection built within the comfort of a sock. The 3-part soft shin foam fits snug around shins, keeping them safe from slipped pedals. Additional foam padding helps to protect the ankles |

The freeriders have a lot thinner soles than Impacts. After wearing my Impacts I put on my old set of FR's and I could feel the fricken pins coming through.
If you like Five-Ten, just get the Impacts/ones with thicker soles and you'll be good to go.
I bought a pair just before last summer, the "Impact VXI CL". After a month of riding the sole started to come unglued in certain areas, Then the toe stitching on the sole started to come apart, not long after that the plastic insert for my cleats broke.. So I popped the cleats off and rode them for flats. Very shortly after almost the whole sole was falling off them but the rest of the shoe still looks to be in great shape. I hope they get it sorted out why that keeps happening because I'm a huge fan of 5ten's but I can't see myself repeatedly buying pairs if they don't hold up to what they are specifically made for.
The glue seems to hate cold/warm weather as I have found they deteriorate faster in those conditions.
I see people mentions alternatives like Vans, teva, and DC shoes. But those companies are all owned by big conglomerates too. Vans is owned by the sane company that owns wrangler jeans, the North face, timberland, and nautical among many others. The company that owns teva owns ugg boots. And DC is owned by quicksilver.
I don't know anything about climbing shoes but I'm willing to bet that some of the other popular climbing shoes are owned by some monster company too.
P.s. Those Five Tens are f*cking mingin.
Their more trail/XC stuff was disappointing, esp.setting up tubeless, and side wall durability.
Personally only rode the Baron 2.5" so far. Great tyre imo, good damping, tons of grip, a real allrounder for the park. And a decent durability as well!
