Brian Lopes has been racing mountain bikes professionally for nearly three decades. Even if you're not a Brian Lopes fan, you must acknowledge that the man is an absolute powerhouse on a bike. He's won so many titles, even Wikipedia has lost track. He's 45 now. World cups aren't on his schedule...

Ellsworth has had a tough time in recent years. The San Diego brand used to build dream machines, but they failed to keep up with rapid shifts in geometry, materials, and wheel size. There also developed a poor reputation for quality control, rampant failures, and customer service. To try and...

Ellsworth modified its Epiphany chassis to handle 27.5" wheels. The Lowdown: Ellsworth Epiphany 27.5 Enduro The Ellsworth Epiphany 27.5 is a trail bike with some all mountain intentions, yet it sports the 'Enduro' name. It has a 50mm stem but the top tube is not quite long enough and it's...

We got to see the new Ellsworth Epiphany 275 and Carbon Evolve 29er in person. The Epiphany is quite stunning and it has the same wheelbase and chainstay length as the old 26er version. Bottom Bracket height is the same as well, so it should handle very similar to the competent Epiphany 26er...

We've had the Ellsworth Evolution for a few months now and have gotten to know it quite well. And that's a good thing because it doesn't come from the wave of new carbon full suspension 29ers with ultra-short chainstays and slacker head angles. Rather, it is a machine made with that familiar...
