As soon as the pandemic hit, people around the country were looking for socially distant ways to leave the house and get some exercise. Denver’s premium bike shops were no different. Most models were completely sold out within the first two months of quarantine with backorders piling up.
Thankfully, as time passed, shops like Base Camp were able to build up more inventory and orders are being delivered as scheduled. Here’s what you can expect from the holiday premium bike supply at Base Camp.
New Merchandise
Orbea Rise
Base Camp Cyclery carries Denver’s premium mountain bike brands including Yeti, Santa Cruz, Ibis, Orbea and Norco. We also offer fantastic urban and road bicycles from brands such as Linus and Farraday.
Most recently, we’ve added the Orbea Rise to our shop inventory. Rise is a machine designed to expand your trail experience and bring you closer to the moment. This bike brings you nearer the sensation that less “e” delivers more “bike”. Whether you crave riding greater distances, reaching more epic locations, improving efficiency or increasing the frequency of your adventures, Rise beyond expectations and discover the new standard in MTB.
Norco Shore
This hydro-formed alloy frame is designed with Norco’s Ride Aligned™ Design System and the latest in high pivot Horst Link suspension and ride engineering to amplify your instincts on modern Freeride trails.
The 180mm Fox Factory 38 FLOAT fork is paired with 180mm of rear travel with a Fox Factory DHX2 Factory Coil shock for a rearward axle path that is unaffected by drivetrain forces thanks to an integrated Idler Pulley. The SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain provides quick shifts and efficient pedaling with a wide gear range and Code RSC 4-piston 200mm brakes keep speed where you need it, when you need it.
Norco Torrent
Using Norco’s holistic approach to fit and geometry, the Torrent S1’s unique combination of our next generation of Gravity Tune, longer reach, slacker head tube angle and steep seat tube angle provides a more forward weight distribution within a longer wheelbase. This allows more powerful pedaling, increased climbing traction and added grip and control when descending.
To go along with the basic theme of the butted chromoly frame, we spec’d the Torrent S1 with a Shimano XT/SLX 12-speed drivetrain. We also gave it some real big bike credibility with a 150mm RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 fork, a burly Praxis Cadet M30 crankset, and robust Shimano M520 4-piston brakes.
