What folks are saying about the bikes

Rob Rides - Dream Build

Rob Rides - first look review on the RS 75/50.

Mike Kazimer, Pinkbike

What they're saying about RS 205 VHP

"One of the rarest downhill bikes on the planet. It is a very purpose built downhill machine, it is a race bike, it likes to go fast.” [Full review.]

The Loam Wolf

“The modular mixed-wheeled downhill bike utilizes a virtual high pivot suspension design and boasts endless customization options to match rider preferences.” [Full review.]

Vital MTB

“We’d love to get our hands on an RS 205 VHP for a longer term review and have the time to play around with the full gamut of wheel and suspension configurations. It’s certainly a bike that can be setup to be raced on Sunday and still play in the bike park.” [Full review.]

RS 205 Badge -white

Why the RS Badges?

These two iconic letters are synonymous with motor racing and originally stand for "rally sport," however, when Porsche and Audi started to use them later, they repurposed them as an acronym for "Rennsport," which translated from German means "racing sport."

The "RS" letters continue to be used by auto manufacturers to this day and adorn only their highest performing machines. From Porsche, Ford, and Audi to Chevy, Renault, Skoda, and more, if you look closely, you'll find RS models. Long story short, we love the racing heritage and significance behind these two letters, and feel they capture the essence of our bikes when used in the original way. For us, they will always mean "rally sport" and we are proud to keep that original acronym living on in a totally different -- but very relevant -- sport. So lets get out there, kick up some dirt together, and keep the essence of these two iconic letters alive!
