Transition Sentinel Video
When dreaming up what to shoot for the Sentinel, we couldn’t narrow it down to one style of riding, so we shot four locations/riders. All of which found the Sentinel to be right at home. Enjoy!

Brett Tippie Joins ROTOR Athlete Roster
Thursday, January 12, 2017 at 10:16AM 
ROTOR Bike Components is proud to add Freeride legend Brett Tippie to their roster of athletes. Regarded as one of the pioneers of Freeride mountain biking, Tippie’s infectious grin offsets his penchant for hitting the steepest terrain around. When he’s not dropping in on big lines, Brett hosts Redbull Rampage, Sea Otter festivities, opening day at Whistler Bike Park and the Crankworx event series. His social media offers his followers a glimpse of what it’s like to shred around the globe, while keeping a humorous slant. Growing up in Kamloops, BC, Tippie is known for bringing his hard-charging riding style wherever he goes. “There is no one else like Brett Tippie,” says North American Brand Manager Lori Barrett. “He rides the biggest, gnarliest terrain you’ve ever seen, and you always know where he is because of his laugh! He’ll be a great partner for ROTOR as we develop our focus on mountain bike product.”
"I am very excited to work with ROTOR and play a helpful role in advancing their presence in the North American market,” Tippie said. “I love that ROTOR has a long standing tradition of scientific testing and validation to support their technology. I will continue doing my own scientific testing riding the goods in BC (night and day) on the wet, rain forested, tech trails of the north shore and deserty, dry big mountain lines in Kamloops!"
Brett Tippie will be riding the new ROTOR RHawk & RRaptor gravity cranks & chain rings launching in North America this month. With the idea of creating a future-proof system, both RHawk & RRaptor are modular, meaning the crank, chain ring & axle all can be separated to allow for easy switches between bikes, as axle standards continue to evolve.
Bringing a North American presence to a roster that includes Cedric Gracia & Jordi Bago, Tippie will continue with long-time sponsors Rocky Mountain Bicycles, SR Suntour, Maloja & IXS Sports.

E Thirteen Introduces The TRS Tires & Wheels
Friday, April 1, 2016 at 7:52AM Our new TRS tire and wheel combo; the best wheel system out there for perfect fit, more control, and more fun.
E Thirteen brought Cory down to ride once again in SLO. They filmed this video to promote their new tires and wheels....
;)
Our tread pattern features an agressive tread design with a structural, angled base on the side knobs to control roll under high speed cornering. Sipes are positioned to provide confident transitions from straight lines to cornering and confident braking traction. Ramped, shorter center knobs keep TRS tires rolling surprisingly fast for an aggressive tire.
We wanted a tire that bridged the gap between too light XC/Trail tires and a too heavy full DH casing tires. TRS tires feature a reinforced sidewall that creates a more stable contact patch than an XC tire by preventing folding under compression, but in a sub 1000g tire. Cornering confidence and durability at an acceptable weight.
Have you put a tubeless tire on with a regular floor pump before? We have. One of our main goals in developing a tire was to perfect tubeless fit. Our bead is tubeless compatible, works with hooked and hookless beads and will fit perfectly with TRS rims.
