We call the Blindside a Big All Mountain bike designed to be a versatile big travel bike. With a front derailleur setup to get you to the summit and up to 190mm of adjustable rear travel so you can take on any downhill. The Blindside's versatility is quite surprising as the bike can pedal extremely well, is nimble on singletrack and jumps and can eat up rough DH style trails.
The suspension utilizes a large 2.75" stroke shock for low leverage and features a slightly progressive leverage rate curve that gives excellent consistent leverage throughout the travel allowing the natural progressiveness of the shock to ramp up perfectly. The frames features our own custom formed tubeset with internal gussets and a slimmed down rear triangle with internal cable routing for a clean look.

BIKE MAGAZINE "MOST VERSATILE FREERIDE/DH FRAME 2010"
"The Blindside was predictable in the air and handled cased landings with confidence. For a bike with so much travel it also negotiated berms and tight turns with surpising finesse and felt great on some of the steepest, rootiest fall-line descents we could find in Squamish. - Bike Magazine"

NSMB.com FULL REVIEW
"I know that my riding improved on the Blindside. I rode harder, faster, more aggressively and more confidently on this bike than I have on any other bike. And I’ve ridden a fair number of bikes. I did things that I wouldn’t have on a smaller bike, and the number of “oh shit” moments I had in the eight-month test period could be counted on one hand. I can’t say the same thing for my personal bike. - NSMB.com"

"I took the Blindside deep into the gnar of the Pacific Northwest and it performed without complaint. Tight trails through towering cedar trees, jumps over creeks, ladder bridge drops onto small, steep, landings, long rock faces, loose, dusty fall-line descents – the Blindside did it all, and still wanted more. - FreeHub Magazine"
