Chris King Splash Bronze Hubs Splattered with Turquoise Anodizing

Splash is a high contrast, limited-edition anodization that features a rich Bronze base color with a brash, vibrant Turquoise accent layer. It arrives just in time for the MADE show in Chris King’s hometown of Portland, OR at the end of the week. This special release is limited to just 50 complete sets (headset, bottom bracket and Chris King wheels), which will be available first-come, first-serve through the King website. Orders limited to one kit per customer.

Splash is available as a road/gravel ($3450) or mountain kit ($3275)–both kits include Chris King wheels–only but there are several other accessories from Chris King featuring the design.

Esker Limited Edition MRP ShredKote Purple Cerakote Japhy

Esker Cycles is excited to announce a collaboration with MRP, with a limited run of Japhy frames to match MRP’s Cerakote “ShredKote” forks.

ShredKote is a ceramic coating that MRP provides as option on their forks and shock coils. It is thinner than, yet more durable than paint. The result is a coating that is slightly lighter, more impact resistant and won’t flake off. We decided to make a limited run of Japhy frames in “Wild Purple” to match their Raven fork.

This is also the first batch of frames shipping from Esker with the updated Portage Dropout with UDH.

These limited edition frames are available in sizes Small- XXL and only as complete bikes with two different build options:

GX TRANSMISSION BUILD:

Japhy Frame – Cerekote Finish
MRP Raven 120mm Fork – Cerekote Finish
Race Face Alloy Cockpit
SRAM Level 4-Piston Brakes (New Gen)
SRAM GX Transmission Drivetrain

Industry Nine Hydra Enduro S Wheelset
Schwalbe Nobby Nic 29 x 2.6 Tires
$4,950.00

XT BUILD:

Japhy Frame – Cerekote Finish
MRP Raven 120mm Fork – Cerekote Finish
Race Face Alloy Cockpit
XT 4-Piston Brakes
XT 12-Speed Drivetrain
SDG Dropper, Lever, Grips
Stan’s Flow S2 Wheelset
Schwalbe Nobby Nic 29 x 2.6 Tires
$3,450.00

If you want to see these builds in person, we are thrilled to already have them in a few shops:

Sincere Cycles in Santa Fe, NM

Crow’s Feet in Bend, OR

You Bet! in Nevada City, CA

If you don’t live near one of those shops, not to worry! You can get one of these beautiful builds at eskercycles.com or any Esker Cycles dealer.

The Santa Cruz Skitch e-City Bike

The Skitch is the ultimate e-commuter/gravel/errand bike. Equipped with a powerful and light motor that provides enough nudge to spend less time behind a glass windscreen and more time with your knees in the breeze. It’s for riders looking for even more excuses to get on a bike because now doing chores can be as much fun as ripping bike park laps.

The lightweight drive unit gives you power up to 28 mph (32 kph in Canada, sorry) with a range of over 60 miles. The motor gives out 60 Nm of torque, which gives real push up the steepest hills and off from the traffic lights. The whole bike is light, so navigating traffic – or stairways – is a breeze.

Specs

28 mph
60+ mile range
30lb weight

Widths – 480mm | 500mm | 520mm
Reach – 95mm
Drop – 125mm
Back sweep – 10 degrees
Flare – 25 degrees
26.0 stem clamp only

Rivendell Silver Crank Arms in Stock $190

Build your own do-it-all Silver crank. These are the same as the cranks we sell on the site, but without rings. It’s a good choice if you have other chainrings in mind, or if you want to use a narrow-wide ring for a 1x setup. These don’t include chainring bolts, although we sell them separately, but they do include crank bolts.

110bcd outer, 74 bcd inner. Both five bolt. Best paired with a 110mm spindle for road front derailers, or a 113 for mountain. The beauty of the square taper is you can adjust it to fit whatever set up you have in mind.

Length: 170mm, 173mm, 178mm
Square Taper BB spindle length: 110mm for road 113mm for mountain
Chainring BCD: 110bcd outer, 74 bcd inner

Ass Savers X Squid Bikes Fenders

The magical but limited collab of “The 128”, together with SQUID bikes resulted in 128 unique Ass Savers Win Wing Gravel in a never seen before hand-meets-industry-series. What you see here is the permanent collection that gives you the opportunity to SQUID your bike even if you missed the opportunity of getting your hands on one of the orignal 128.
