Build of the Week

This week's Build of the Week went to one of our sponsored racers -- a former motocross competitor. His HPC Trailblazer runs a custom-tuned V2 2500W motor (200+ Nm), Shimano Linkglide Deore XT drivetrain, 52V 15.6Ah battery, Magura Gustav Pro brakes, hand-built Spank Vibrocore wheels, Continental Kryptotal tires, a 29"/27.5" mullet setup, OneUp pedals, and Ethirteen Sidekick hubs. Here's every upgrade over stock and why it matters.
