Bootleg

 its been a long and dusty day out here at Bootleg Canyon,  30 minutes or so outside of the sprawling city of Las Vegas. As you know this is where the Outdoor demo takes place each year, a chance for buyers, journalists and shop staff to swing their legs over next year’s hot thing.

As has become something of a tradition with Mountain Cycle, we were rushed off our feet all day. While we don’t have the biggest presence here, Nor we one of the biggest brands (in terms of sales volume) there is always a queue of people waiting to try our bikes…

 

As expected, this year’s hottest bikes for us were the Battery and Shockwave, though we were also pleased to be getting some really positive reviews of the Fury.  In many ways the Fury is the perfect bike for out here, there are some seriously challenging routes in and out of the valley.  The Fury just eats those up, the only sad thing (for us as riders) was that we just didn’t get enough time to go and ride!

The highlight of the day, was a guy who had been riding a Heckler for the last few years. He could not believe how much fun the Fury was, and he certainly couldn’t believe us when we told him the retail price…
