With another riding season just around the corner, its time to showcase a  few drool worthy custom builds from the team at Outside bike and Ski in Canmore.

The words ‘cost effective’ and ‘financially viable’ don’t usually come to mind when talking about high end carbon mountain bikes, but I don’t think that really matters in the end does it?

Our good friends at Visa and Mastercard can foot the bill for now, while we get to enjoy the finished product!

 

Yeti SB6C

Garmin Edge 25 with K-edge top cap mount

The new Raceface Turbine dropper post with 150mm of travel

EVOL air can and custom tune by SuspensionWerx out of Vancouver

Hope Pro4 hubs

When your trail bike is your downhill bike you gotta go Full Beast Mode!

2.5 Dh casing Maxxis Minions on rims that don’t technically need tires to work ( for Aaron Gwin anyway)

The new DHX2 with High and Low Speed compression/rebound adjustment

32.5 Lbs of bike park fun!

 

Yeti SB6C Turquoise edition!

 

28.4 lbs. Large frame

Need the Sixc cranks to clear the chain stays on the new 148mm Boost rear end on the yeti

Carbon hoops by Light-Bike. Build by Jody Johnson

Internal routing on all cables. Aesthetically very pleasing.

John put some long hours and lots of thought into this custom rig. More carbon on this stealth steed than you can poke a stick at (unless the stick is carbon….which it is)

Clean and simple..

A classy 140mm travel trail bike from Outside Bike and Ski.1 x 10 , KS dropper post, tubeless wheels and some fancy purple bits!!

 

Keeping things simple with a 28T front ring and a modified XT cassette on the back (11-42)

 

 

All the extra OneUp components help keep the XT shifting smooth. 16 tooth cog and a Rad cage paired with an Ethirteen 42T climbing gear.

 

 

Lesson 1 on making a bike look girly….accessorise!!

 

 

North Shore Billet lets this crank  run smaller than a 30T ring with a direct mount system. No front derailleur…no worries!!

 

 

Happiness is a new bicycle…
