Red or Gold? Which one do I choose?


The General Rule of Thumb

It is easiest to outline who best-serves the Gold Label HD
  1. eMTBs - the Gold Label HD is specifically (and originally) created for the heavier chassis of an electric pedal-assist mountain bike.
  2. Riders who are on the heavier side of the scale - 200/220 pounds and up - the Clydesdale category
  3. Expert / Pro / Cat 1 level DH racers who are going much-faster than the average rider and riding steeper terrain than most

The Red Label RACE suits the following

  1. The average trail rider, which is 95% of us. Most riders who are honest with themselves and may push their own limits, will love the ultra-smooth feeling of the Red Label RACE. 
  2. Noise-sensitive riders - the Red Label RACE model is dead-quiet in most conditions
  3. Those who want to boost their corner speed & control with enhanced modulation
