NSMB.com Reviews the Blindside
"I beat the piss out of this bike for a long time. Ive ridden the Blindside on the Shore, at Whistler, in Pemberton and at Silver Star for eight months, and have given it very little love other than an occasional wash and pivot tightening. The Blindside has stood up to the test of time and while it may not be as pretty as the first day I rode it, its still a very faithful steed."
- Stuart Kernaghan, NSMB.com

The Blindside is our 8" bike for the aggressive rider that loves to do it all from bike parks to incredibly technical DH lines. Designed to be quick and easy to throw around with just the right amount of travel, the Blindside can handle almost anything you point it at. The bike is extremely versatile with DH friendly geometry like a lower bottom bracket and slack headtube for railing corners at high speed. We also desinged this bike to shine in freeride environments like Whistler where you need a bike that can handle any situation. From steep technical rocky sections to massive drops and jumps, the Blindside can do it all.
