"2010 Hummer Frames Now Available"

Scored 4.5/5 in What Mountain Bike Mag Test

Cove Handjob Frame - £495

Handjob

One of our more popular machines, each weld on the Handjob is perfect, finished with a paint job that will last forever. The Handjob features high performance, sloping top tube geometry suited for riders who like to spice up their XC riding with downwardness. It's geometry and construction is so Shore proven, depending on how well you take care of yourself, this bike could outlive you. Using custom Tange Prestige cromoly tubing, the Handjob incorporates the dynamic flex profile and strength of steel to work everything from lightning fast ridgelines to heart-thumping descents-at a price that leaves room for a lot more lovin'.

Cove Stiffee Frame - £595

Stiffee

Making the World rise to attention year after year, the Stiffee has earned a reputation as one of the best aluminum hard tail bikes in creation. Melding a balance of strength and performance, our original hard tail proves you don't need any blue pills to get it on. Built to finesse the World's abundance of natural gap jumps, deep descents and trails to the honeypatch, the Stiffee takes oversized tires, comes stock with international standard disc mounts, uses Easton RAD tubing and can handle long travel front forks.

Cove Hummer Frame - £1495

Hummer

Here at the Cove, it all started with a Hummer. It's what's been keeping us jazzed on riding all these years: a perfectly crafted titanium bike born from Shore singletrack. Made by Lynskey Performance Designs, the Hummer has big tire clearance, the ability to take longer travel forks, this is the classic ride. Pound it through technical XC racecourses or hammer over a mountain range, whatever your pleasure, a Hummer will make you feel good all over.

Cove Foreplay MX Frame -

Foreplay

There's nothing like romancing a hard tail. Flippin' it, twistin' it, making it go up and down... and up again. Sauced with sexy gussets on the head tube and seat stay, as well as a short seat tube, the foreplay is perfect for urban assaults, backyard dirt jump sessions and bike park booter fests. Built using oversized Easton RAD tubing, the Foreplay's geometry is crafted around the need to be low, agile and stealth- because if you're going to be teasin' you better be pleasin'.

Cove Sanchez Frame -

Sanchez

For those who aren't afraid of the nasty, we introduce Sanchez, our dirt jump/street weapon. Super burly and strong, Sanchez comes with horizontal dropouts and adjustable rear disk mount which allows for a 26 inch rear wheel with disc or canti-lever brakes. The frame is built using custom 4130 Cromo with a geometry focused on mountain biking's street and dirt jump movement. For those who like it dirty, Sanchez is your ride.

Cove Hustler Frame - £1495

Hustler

For those rides where being crafty is the essence, we offer you the Hustler: A bike that balances the challenges of down with the harsh realities of up. A ride designed for those trails so wicked that you have to bring extra lube. The Hustler comes with a 5.5", adjustable Fox RP23 rear shock on a four bar linkage and lightweight Easton RAD tubing frameset designed for plush, efficient performance. All of this helped the Hustler bring home a 10/10 from MBR Magazine in the UK.

"Superbike", "Ultimate hardcore tribute", "Bad attitude, great manners" - MBUK
"Gold Award" - What Mountain Bike

Cove STD Frame - £2095

STD

Contrary to what you're thinking, this bike is all about Skinnies, Trannies and Drops-or as the Brits call it, "Standard" i.e. the standard by which all freeride bikes should be measured. Based on our deep plush Shocker platform, the STD is a 7.5-inch freeride version of our super successful DH bike, recognized by Mountain Biking Magazine as "DH Bike of the Year". The STD features an un-interupted seat tube and a super stiff 1.5 head tube designed to let you shove it and raise it, slaying the downs and beating the hell out of the ups. This is the perfect Shore bike, because like Chaz says, "you gotta have the strength to giver on the climb and hang on for the descents."

Cove Shocker Frame - £2098

Shocker

At Cove Bikes we're all about big backdoor wattage. Designed and built for major speed and amplitude, the Shocker features our proven Dual Link suspension platform, delivering a mega 8.75 watts of rear travel via a Rock Shox Vivid 5.1. A Sram Maxle rear axle and Easton RAD tubing bring it for a super stiff ride that takes corners and rails them.

"Downhill Bike of the Year" - Mountain Biking Magazine
"A downhill race waiting to happen" - MBUK
"Possibly the best downhill bike we have ever thrown a leg over" - Decline Magazine

Cove G-Spot Frame - TBC

G-Spot

At the Cove we found the G-Spot a long time ago. As one of the industry's first Freeride bikes, the G-Spot's been delivering world- wide pleasure for the past decade. From the bike park to high alpine epics, the G is the perfect mix of all that feels good: 6 inches of rear travel, sealed bearings on a time proven four bar linkage and BB main pivot that eliminates pedal feedback and keeps chain tension even. This is the rig which Cove shredder Eric Lawrenuk uses to wow the crowd at slopestyle competitions. If you didn't know where to find it, now you do.

Mondraker Bikes

Mondraker was founded in Alicante, Spain in 2001. Born to support the increasing number of riders who were starting to push their limits and the limits of their equipment on the rough Spanish trails.

Days riding sunny XC trails were always followed by eye watering descents before riders sunk a cold beer by the warm sea. Back then a range of 7 bikes were introduced mostly designed to cater for the newly emerging freeride scene which was quickly taking hold of the Spanish riding scene.

Since these small beginnings the range has expanded to cater for the needs of every mountain biker no mater what trail or travel you choice.

One of the priorities of Mondraker is to provide the best technology and the highest quality product possible at all levels. 2010 sees the introduction of the new Stealth tubing on many of the platforms and the Zero Suspension System has been expanded to further travel options. Already winning World Cup DH races both technologies are testament to Mondraker and their commitment to the enjoyment of mountain biking at all levels and proof that you are what you ride.

Mondraker Summum

Summum

Summum comes from the Latin language "Summum Bonum" meaning "The Maximum or Highest Good" this definition fits perfectly with the technology and innovation applied to the new Summum line. We have spent the last 2 years developing and testing this frame and have been awarded with numerous podium positions and a World Cup DH win with Fabien Barel. We are the first brand to release a frame that already has a World Cup win.

Adjustable Geometry Kit: The purpose of the kit is to offer you the perfect geometry set up depending on the way you ride and the track you're riding. The geometry is adjustable from the most Extreme Pro DH use to the most dialled freeride use. It consists of 3 CNC head tube angle cups offering adjustability from 0, +/- 1, +/- 2 and 4 different chainstay lengths from 400mm, 435mm, 445mm and 450mm complete with brake mount adjusters.

Rocky Mountain Bikes

Hand-building bikes since 1983, Rocky Mountain Bikes are built for riders by riders, in a place where the riding rules.

They are a semi-custom bike manufacturer. They're not huge and not trying to be. They're not pumping out hundreds of thousands of bikes a year.

On the eve of our 29th birthday (2010), we thought it would be fitting to launch our 29er platforms.

The notoriously technical trails in our Vancouver backyard have always been our testing grounds and we've used these same trails to develop our 29ers.
